at he expects to make an earlier call on running back Todd Gurley‘s status this week and anyone looking for hints about which way that’s going to go got one on Thursday.McVay said that Gurley will not take part in the team’s second practice of the week. Gurley Tyler Higbee Jersey , who was a last-minute inactive last week due to a knee injury, was also out of practice on Wednesday.McVay also said Jared Goff Jersey , via Vincent Bonsignore of , that the decision on Gurley won’t be determined by whether he practices this week Samson Ebukam Jersey , but it seems like an outsized risk to put him on the field Sunday if he’s not going to work in the more controlled practice environment during the week.C.J. Anderson would be in line for his second straight start if Gurley is out again this weekend. The Rams need a win or a Bears loss to lock themselves into the No. 2 seed in the NFC. The Rams are bringing Wes Phillips onto the coaching staff as their tight ends coach and that will mean a change in responsibilities for Shane Waldron.Waldron worked with the team’s tight ends in addition to taking on the role as passing game coordinator in 2018, but will switch to a different position group in 2019. Albert Breer of SI.com reports that Waldron is set to take over as the quarterbacks coach while continuing to hold the coordinator title.Zac Taylor was the quarterbacks coach in 2018 Josh Reynolds Jersey , but he left the Rams to become the Bengals head coach after Super Bowl LIII.Given Waldron’s continued role as the passing game coordinator, the move to working directly with the team’s quarterbacks makes sense. The team is also expected to hire an assistant quarterbacks coach and Breer adds that senior offensive assistant Jedd Fisch’s title will change to assistant coordinator/offense for the 2019 season.
