News

  • Appears in four games

    Kelly rushed three times for nine yards in four games during 2019.

    Analysis: The 23-year-old was unable to crack the Rams' season-opening roster but remained on the practice squad until being promoted in October, waived and then promoted again. Todd Gurley, Malcolm Brown and Darrell Henderson (ankle) are all under contract for 2020, leaving a difficult path to a roster spot for Kelly next season.

  • Brought to active roster

    Kelly was promoted to the Rams' active roster Saturday.

    Analysis: With Darrell Henderson (ankle) on injured reserve, Kelly will serve as the No. 3 running back in Sunday's season finale against the Cardinals. Kelly -- a sixth-round pick by the Rams in the 2018 NFL Draft -- has suited up in seven NFL games, rushing 30 times for 81 yards (2.7 yards per carry) and catching two passes for 27 yards.

  • Sticks with Rams

    Kelly signed with the Rams' practice squad Tuesday, Cameron DaSilva of USA Today reports.

    Analysis: Kelly was waived by the Rams on Saturday but will remain with the organization after clearing waivers. The 23-year-old appeared in three games while on the 53-man roster and had three carries for nine yards.

  • Cut by Rams

    Kelly was waived by the Rams on Saturday.

    Analysis: While Kelly was active for three games with the Rams this season, he saw just four offensive snaps total and ultimately his status on the 53-man roster was a tenuous one. The 2018 sixth-round pick could be a candidate for the practice squad should he pass through waivers.

  • Handed first opportunity of 2019

    Kelly rushed three times for nine yards during Sunday's 37-10 win over Atlanta.

    Analysis: The 2018 sixth-round selection out of Tennessee suited up for four games last season and carried the ball 24 times for 74 yards, but Sunday's three rushes were his first of this season. He was active against San Francisco last week but only played special teams, and Kelly projects to be used sparingly moving forward, barring additional injuries to the Los Angeles backfield.

  • Suiting up Sunday

    Kelly is officially active for Sunday's game against the 49ers, Cameron DaSilva of USA Today reports.

    Analysis: Kelly received a promotion from the practice squad to the 53-man roster Saturday in light of Todd Gurley (quadriceps) missing the game. Kelly will be the team's third-string running back for Week 6, and possibly could see reps behind rather unproven options in Malcolm Brown and Darrell Henderson.

  • Promoted to active roster

    Kelly was promoted to the Rams' active roster Saturday.

    Analysis: With Todd Gurley (quad) ruled out for Sunday's game against the 49ers, Kelly will be brought on board to serve as the team's third running back. Kelly is not expected to play a significant role in Sunday's outing, with Malcolm Brown and rookie Darrell Henderson in line to lead the way in the backfield.

  • Staying with Rams

    Kelly signed with the Rams' practice squad Sunday, Vincent Bonsignore of The Athletic reports.

    Analysis: Kelly had a quiet preseason with 22 carries for 54 yards and four receptions for 23 yards, but he'll remain in Los Angeles after being waived Saturday. The 22-year-old spent four games on the 53-man roster in 2018, rushing 27 times for 74 yards while catching two passes for 27 yards.

  • Double-digit carries in win

    Kelly rushed 10 times for 32 yards and brought in his only target for 12 yards in the Rams' 10-6 preseason win over the Broncos on Saturday.

    Analysis: Kelly saw six more touches overall than Justin Davis, his primary competition for the No. 4 running back job. While he wasn't very efficient on the ground, he did double up Davis in rushing attempts. The job battle appears headed for a final chapter in Thursday's preseason finale versus the Texans.

  • Quiet night against Raiders

    Kelly registered 10 rushing yards on three carries during Saturday's 14-3 loss to Oakland.

    Analysis: Kelly appears to be in a battle with Justin Davis for the final spot in the Rams' backfield rotation, per Vincent Bonsignore of the Athletic, so a 3.3 yards per carry average in the preseason opener is far from an ideal result. In Kelly's defense, though, no one was capable of getting anything going on the ground for Los Angeles, as Rams backs combined for 2.4 yards per rush against Oakland, with only three running back carries picking up four or more yards throughout the entirety of the…read more

  • Left on bubble

    The Rams likely will end up cutting Kelly and/or Justin Davis, Vincent Bonsignore of The Athletic reports.

    Analysis: With Todd Gurley (knee), Malcolm Brown and Darrell Henderson locked in, the team only has one available backfield spot, at most, if everyone stays healthy through August. A sixth-round pick last year, Kelly took 27 carries for 74 yards and two catches for 27 yards in four games during his rookie season, logging 50 snaps on offense and 35 on special teams. The lack of involvement on special teams isn't a good sign for his continued presence on the roster, though Davis (133 snaps) wasn't a huge…read more

  • Unimpressive against 49ers

    Kelly rushed 15 times for just 30 yards during Sunday's 48-32 win over San Francisco, but he did also have an 18-yard reception.

    Analysis: Considering C.J. Anderson ran over the 49ers for 132 yards and 5.7 per tote, Kelly's numbers on the ground are all the more pedestrian. However, the rookie also didn't receive his first carry until the middle of the third quarter when Los Angeles was up 38-17 and milking the clock, so It's probably best to look at Kelly's production with a grain of salt. Additionally, it's unlikely he has a notable role in the postseason with Todd Gurley resting a knee injury the past two weeks, and Anderson…read more

  • Logs 10 carries Week 16

    Kelly carried 10 times for 40 yards and caught one pass for nine yards in Sunday's 31-9 win over the Cardinals.

    Analysis: Kelly's most extensive work this season was the result of starter Todd Gurley (knee) being inactive. The 2018 sixth-rounder worked behind C.J. Anderson -- who logged 167 yards and a TD on 20 carries Sunday -- and would be in line to do so again Week 17 against the 49ers, should the Rams elect to play it safe and sit Gurley once again.

  • May trail Anderson in pecking order

    Kelly is expected to work as the backup to C.J. Anderson in the event Todd Gurley (knee) and Justin Davis (shoulder) are unavailable for Sunday's game against the Cardinals, Lindsey Thiry of ESPN.com reports.

    Analysis: Kelly, a sixth-round pick out of Tennessee, exhibited some explosiveness during his opportunities in the preseason, but he's largely been an afterthought for the Rams since the regular season began. In fact, Kelly didn't dress for a game until Week 14, when Malcolm Brown's season-ending collarbone injury bumped him up a spot on the depth chart. It appeared the door might have open for Kelly to claim a three-down role when Gurley and Davis both came out of the Week 15 loss to the Eagles with…read more

  • Joined by Anderson in backfield

    Kelly could face competition out of the backfield from the newly signed C.J. Anderson and holdover Justin Davis (shoulder) behind injured starter Todd Gurley (knee), Lindsey Thiry of ESPN.com reports.

    Analysis: The new addition hints at legitimate concern about Gurley and/or Davis missing Sunday's game in Arizona. The situation should sort itself out in the coming days, with Kelly potentially finding himself in a workhorse role if both injured teammates end up sitting. Anderson might be the best of the bunch after Gurley, but the 27-year-old won't have much time to learn a new offense. This isn't a situation where the Rams can afford to be extra cautious, as one more loss might push them out of a…read more

  • Role expansion possible in Week 16

    Kelly could be slated for an expanded role in Week 16 if Todd Gurley (knee) can't suit up against the Cardinals, Gary Klein of the Los Angeles Times reports.

    Analysis: Kelly recorded the first offensive snaps of his career in Week 15 versus the Eagles, rushing twice for four yards during the contest. With Gurley and Justin Davis (shoulder) dealing with injuries early in the week, Kelly could see plenty of first-team reps on offense during practice. That could position him for a major offensive role in Week 16 against a Cardinals defense allowing 144.9 rushing yards per game, the third-highest average in the NFL.

  • Receives first career carries

    Kelly played seven offensive snaps and rushed twice for four yards during Sunday's 30-23 loss to Philadelphia.

    Analysis: The rookie debuted last week with seven snaps on special teams, and his two carries Sunday were his first of the season. With Malcolm Brown (clavicle) out for the year and Justin Davis (shoulder) also dealing with an injury, Kelly has a chance to solidify himself as the No. 2 back behind Todd Gurley. However, that role hasn't been conducive to fantasy production, so Kelly's off the radar in the majority of settings.

  • Could take No. 2 gig

    Kelly will compete with Justin Davis for snaps as the Rams' backup running back while Malcolm Brown (clavicle) is unavailable, Gary Klein of the Los Angeles Times reports.

    Analysis: A rookie sixth-round pick, Kelly has been a healthy scratch all season while Davis has strictly played special teams. Kelly was more impressive of the two during the exhibition slate, but Davis has the advantage of being in his second year with the Rams. Of course, Brown's indefinite absence doesn't have much impact on the game plan for Week 14 in Chicago, seeing as Todd Gurley has played 85 percent of the offensive snaps this season. It could come into play Week 17 if the Rams don't have…read more
