ANALYSISAccording to
Ian Rapoport of NFL Network, Williams was a candidate to stage a hold-in until he got a new deal, but the running back himself dismissed that idea, telling
Sarah Barshop of ESPN.com that he'll take the field throughout training camp and even Week 1 if a new contract hasn't been worked out. Williams remains the Rams' unquestioned No. 1 RB on the heels of back-to-back 1,000-yard campaigns on the ground in which he also combined for 31 total touchdowns in 28 regular-season games. Next up behind Williams on the depth chart are 2024 third-round pick
Blake Corum and rookie fourth-rounder
Jarquez Hunter.
