Rivers returned four kicks for 107 yards during Sunday's 37-20 victory against the Cardinals.
EDGE Analysis
Kyren Williams and Blake Corum became a formidable duo in 2025, combining for 404 carries, 1,998 yards on the ground and 16 touchdowns. This didn't leave much for Rivers, who finished his fourth year with the Rams with just 46 yards on nine carries over 11 games. Rivers did return 16 kicks for 418 yards, but the return role was a fairly even split with Corum, Jordan Whittington (knee) and Xavier Smith. With the Rams securely set with Williams, Corum and 2025 fourth-round pick Jarquez Hunter in the backfield, Rivers, who will be an unrestricted free agent at season's end, may test free agency to find a more secure role elsewhere. He'll next take on Carolina on Saturday in the wild-card round of the playoffs.

The Rams signed Rivers to their active roster Wednesday, Wyatt Miller of the team's official site reports.
EDGE Analysis
Rivers has spent the entire season so far on the Rams' practice squad, but he's now a part of the 53-man roster after Week 9. It's not likely he'll see much work on offense as long as Kyren Williams, Blake Corum and Jarquez Hunter are still healthy.

Rivers reverted to the Rams' practice squad Monday, per the NFL's transaction log.
EDGE Analysis
Rivers was elevated to the Rams' active roster for the second time this season and suited up after Jarquez Hunter (coach's decision) was made inactive for Sunday's game against the Saints. Rivers played just five snaps on special teams without showing up on the box score otherwise while the Rams stuck with their two-man backfield of Kyren Williams and Blake Corum. Rivers is eligible to be elevated from the practice squad one more time by the Rams this season.

The Rams elevated Rivers to their active roster Saturday.
EDGE Analysis
The Fresno State product was also elevated for the Rams' Week 7 win over the Jaguars, failing to record an offensive stat across 10 total snaps (nine on special teams, one on offense). Now back with the active roster, he's likely to contribute on special teams in Sunday's matchup against the Saints.

Rivers reverted to the Rams' practice squad Monday, per the NFL's official transaction log.
EDGE Analysis
Rivers was elevated from the practice squad ahead of Sunday's 35-7 win over the Jaguars, failing to record any stats while playing one snap on offense and nine snaps with the special-teams unit. The running back is eligible to be elevated two more times before he'd have to be officially signed to the active roster.

The Rams elevated Rivers from the practice squad to the active roster Saturday.
EDGE Analysis
Rivers was signed to the Rams' practice squad in late August after failing to make the 53-man roster at the end of training camp. Week 7 against the Jaguars marks Rivers' first elevation of the season, and he'll most likely see the field on special teams while serving as a backfield depth option behind Kyren Williams, Blake Corum and rookie fourth-rounder Jarquez Hunter.

The Rams signed Rivers to the practice squad Wednesday, Wyatt Miller of the team's official site reports.
EDGE Analysis
Rivers failed to beat out Jarquez Hunter for the RB3 spot on the Rams' 53-man roster. Rivers will stick around on the practice squad and would be a candidate to be elevated to the active roster if Hunter, Kyren Williams or Blake Corum were unable to play.

The Rams waived Rivers (ribs) on Tuesday.
EDGE Analysis
Rivers signed a one-year contract with the Rams in March and entered training camp competing against Blake Corum and Jarquez Hunter for a depth spot in the backfield behind starter Kyren Williams. Rivers was limited to just one preseason game due to a rib injury, and that may have played a factor in him not making the Rams' 53-man roster. The Fresno State product will go on waivers, but if he goes unclaimed, he'll have the opportunity to catch on with a team in need of depth out of the backfield.

Rams head coach Sean McVay said Sunday that Rivers (ribs) will be out for "a little bit of time," Greg Beacham of the Associated Press reports.
EDGE Analysis
Rivers is nursing a ribs injury sustained during Los Angeles' preseason game against the Cowboys on Saturday. Any significant time missed could negatively impact his chances of securing a depth backfield role behind starting running back Kyren Williams. His next chance to play this preseason will come Saturday, Aug. 16 against the Chargers.

Rivers (ribs) is ruled out for the remainder of Saturday's preseason game against the Cowboys, Adam Grosbard of The Orange County Register reports.
EDGE Analysis
Rivers suited up for all 17 regular-season games with Los Angeles in 2024, though he only rushed 22 times for 99 yards in that span. The former UDFA is competing for a reserve role in the Rams' backfield behind starter Kyren Williams, and he'll work to get back on the field in time to face the Chargers in preseason action on Saturday, Aug. 16.
