Gurley ran for 44 yards and a touchdown on 10 carries during Sunday's 24-10 win over the Bengals.

EDGE Analysis

Gurley made his presence felt on either side of halftime, first digging the Rams out of the shade of their own goalpost with a 20-yard bruising run before halftime and then capping off the Rams first drive of the second half with a three-yard run on a toss play. Though the stats don't show it, Sunday was actually Gurley's most efficient game since Week 1 -- the first time in that span in which he averaged at least four yards per carry. The Georgia product last not reached 75 total yards in a game since the opener, but he's scored in all but one game during that stretch. Gurley doesn't seem like he's going to manhandle defenses like he used to, but he retains good value by inevitably piling up red-zone touches and picking up a score. Gurley has a whopping 15 red-zone touches over his last two games.

Gurley ran for 41 yards on 18 carries and turned his only target into a 13-yard receiving touchdown during Sunday's 37-10 win against the Falcons.

EDGE Analysis

The 25-year-old back has been held under 4.0 yards per carry in five straight games, but he's paid dividends to fantasy investors by logging 14 receptions and six total touchdowns since Week 2. Rookie Darrell Henderson garnered seven second-half carries with the Rams holding a multi-possession lead throughout the third and fourth quarters, but Gurley appeared healthy enough to command an even greater workload than he did, coming off a quadriceps injury that kept him out against the 49ers in Week 6. Upcoming is a matchup against a Bengals defense that entered the weekend ranking among the NFL's six worst units in carries, rushing yards, rushing touchdowns, receptions, receiving yards and receiving touchdowns allowed to opposing running backs.

Gurley (quadriceps) doesn't have an injury designation for Sunday's game in Atlanta, Adam Caplan of SiriusXM Radio reports.

EDGE Analysis

Gurley upgraded to full practice participation Friday, while Malcolm Brown (ankle) once again was held out and now is listed as doubtful for Sunday's game. The Rams will use Darrell Henderson as their No. 2 running back against a leaky Atlanta defense that's given up 31 points per game. However, the Falcons actually have been decent against the run, ranking ninth in yards per carry allowed (3.9).

Coach Sean McVay expects Gurley (quadriceps) to play in Sunday's game against the Falcons, Lindsey Thiry of ESPN.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

On the other hand, McVay views fellow running back Malcolm Brown (quadriceps) as doubtful, likely setting up Darrell Henderson for some degree of usage for a second straight week. Gurley was a limited practice participant each day this week, so he'll probably be listed as questionable on the final injury report.

Gurley (quadriceps) was a limited practice participant Thursday, Adam Caplan of SiriusXM Radio reports.

EDGE Analysis

During a conference call with Atlanta media early Thursday, coach Sean McVay relayed that Gurley would practice "in a limited fashion," per D. Orlando Ledbetter of The Atlanta Journal-Constitution. Indeed, McVay's prediction came to pass, and Gurley now has one more session to prove the health of the thigh contusion in his left quad. If he checks all the boxes this week, Gurley has a good shot to return Sunday in Atlanta, where the Rams may be without backup running back Malcolm Brown (ankle). Aside from Gurley and Brown, the remaining RBs on the 53-man roster are rookie Darrell Henderson and John Kelly.

EDGE Analysis

McVay offered further encouraging remarks regarding the status of Gurley, stating "I think he's on a good pace to hopefully be able to play" Sunday against the Falcons. While that statement falls short of a guarantee that Gurley will return to action in Week 7, it seems as if the back has a much better chance of suiting up than he did at this point last week. Back-to-back limited showings are encouraging, though the team's Friday injury report could very well end up being the deciding factor.

Gurley (quadriceps) practiced in a limited capacity Wednesday, Gary Klein of the Los Angeles Times reports.

EDGE Analysis

In his first visible on-field work since emerging from a Week 5 loss to the Seahawks with a thigh contusion and sitting out Sunday's defeat to the 49ers, Gurley was contained to individual drills. The Rams likely hope he makes incremental progress over the next few days, but ultimately Friday's injury report will give a sense of his potential to return this weekend. Backup RB Malcolm Brown (ankle) didn't practice at all Wednesday, so rookie Darrell Henderson and John Kelly are the Rams' healthiest backs at the moment.

EDGE Analysis

After a week in which he didn't practice en route to his first absence of the season Sunday against the 49ers, Gurley will be giving himself a shot to return if he gets through Wednesday's session unscathed. Fellow running back Malcolm Brown is considered day-to-day with an ankle injury, so Gurley may return to a workhorse role if he eventually gets the all-clear for game action from the Rams' training staff.

The Rams are optimistic that Gurley (quadriceps), who has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the 49ers, could return to action Week 7 in Atlanta, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.

EDGE Analysis

Los Angeles ruled Gurley out for Week 6 after he was unable to practice in any fashion Wednesday through Friday, so he'll probably need to log at least limited activity during the upcoming week to have a shot at suiting up against the Falcons. With Gurley on tap for his first absence of the season, Rapoport notes that the Rams are expected to treat Malcolm Brown as their featured back, with rookie Darrell Henderson being sprinkled into the game plan as a change-of-pace option.

Gurley (quad) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the 49ers, Lindsey Thiry of ESPN.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

This was expected, given he had a doubtful tag after being unable to practice this week. With Gurley out, Malcolm Brown is in line to take over as the lead back for the Rams, while rookie Darrell Henderson should be in line for an expanded role in the backfield.
