That’s my concern too. But my source (disclosed to Mods) is not a
blow hard.
If it is partial and doesn’t require surgery, or public disclosure, all the better. I’d be happy to eat crow.

Everyone needs to chill just a bit.
The source is potentially solid and with all the “McVay has some explaining to do” type rhetoric being thrown around in this thread, it seems appropriate to offer up.

Yall shouldn't have been so mean to the guy who posted about Gurley before the game lol.

from OC Register today:
...so facts in evidence:
1. The players all had physicals today.
2. With all of the speculation and questions about Gurley, and his health, TG refused to talk about the results of his physical today.
3. Other key offensive players ran interference, speaking words of support for Gurley.
Something is up. I was
given very little detail, but the information I will stand behind: Gurley, torn ACL
This article seems to foreshadow this.

Cited a source that said Gurley was too hurt to play much and was going to be used mainly as a decoy.
Of course he wound up with more carries than CJ and if the Rams had been able to sustain any drives, he might've had even more.
I really can't see him playing on a torn ACL. But he's obviously not at 100 percent. He will be by September, god willing.

I submit to you exibit C, a quote from coach, in full “coach-speak”...
translation:
“The team is not ready to drop a bombshell announcement regarding Todd, and certainly we’re not going to do it on your time schedule, Lindsay.
You caught me on my heels with this one so I’ll dop this PR approved foreshadowing on you to grease the skids for when we announce Gurleys injury: I will sit down with Reggie soon and he will “inform” me of Todds injury that I am freaking out about inside right now.”
Exactly. There's no way he could have done what he did on a fully torn ACL, but I could see him gutting through a partial tear.
Dumbest thread I've seen in long long time.
I also heard the pats cheated and the the commish burned the evidence again...
Guys my source is impeccable

So it’s obvious something is wrong with Gurley physically. It doesn’t take a genius to make that declaration. Everyone is trying to GUESS what it will be. I plan on waiting to hear something official rather than to buy into any “reliable sources” that are speculating on what it is.
That’s kind of a difficult argument to make considering we needed to close the season, and play the entire playoffs, without him.

Los Angeles Rams RB Todd Gurley refuses to speak to media in final interviews of season
This is just weird.

Open locker room for Rams exit interviews, but Todd Gurley apparently has declined to speak, through a PR person.

If you were looking for answers, apparently you’re going to be disappointed.
The Los Angeles Rams have let media know today as they conduct their final “exit” interviews that RB Todd Gurley will not be available.
Following appearances in the NFL Championship and Super Bowl LIII in which he was conspicuously underused that followed Gurley’s absence in the final two weeks of the regular season in which he was held out due to a knee injury, Gurley now heads into the offseason under the cloud of one of the biggest mysteries in NFL history.
With little justification, already many are filling in the gaps with their own explanations.
I’m of the belief that Gurley’s knee still isn’t 100%. It would certainly make sense given how things tailed off at the end of the season and postseason as well.
But if you’re of the opinion that his knee was in regular full health, answers as to why he was so limited get much more murky. And troublesome.
Over at the Ringer, Danny Heifetz is asking if the Rams should be concerned about Gurley’s impact on the salary cap after signing an extension in July that keeps him a Ram through the 2023 season. B/R’s Brad Gagnon went even further suggesting the Rams should looking at trading Gurley.
That’s the kind of thing that people do to fill an information gap when its presented.
Over the course of his five years as head coach (and especially the final three), the media did a poor job getting Jeff Fisher to explain what he was trying to do as head coach to remedy the team’s failures or to explain why they weren’t working.
Now, we have an information gap as to why Todd Gurley, the Offensive Player of the Year a season ago in which he was nearly MVP and the running back who was on pace to challenge the single season rushing touchdown record, was a no-show in the NFC Championship and locked into a jobshare in the Super Bowl with a running back who was unemployed as recently as Week 15.
This is just weird.

huh. Well according to my impeccable source @Jacobarch this is the dumbest thread ever. I trust him over the information I know, and these paranoid reporters that spoke face to face with team officials.
