Davis

Both teams are healthy as they battle for the Lombardi Trophy. Davis was battling a shoulder issue when Todd Gurley injured his knee and finishes 2018-19 with a disappointing two touches.

It’s the same list of players that were inactive in the Divisional Round. The Rams are seemingly at full strength for their showdown with the Saints in the Superdome.

This is the healthiest the Rams have been since Week 1.

With Todd Gurley (knee) absent, Davis will share backfield responsibilities with C.J. Anderson, who signed with the Rams last week. Gurley, OG Jamil Demby, DT Sebastian Joseph-Day, OLB Ogbonnia Okoronkwo, DT Tanzel Smart, CB Darious Williams and OLB Trevon Young are all inactive for the Rams.

Davis would be next in line for carries if Todd Gurley (questionable, knee) sits, though now his availability can no longer be taken for granted. With L.A.'s injury-ravaged backfield running on fumes, don’t be surprised if C.J. Anderson plays a bigger-than-expected role in his Rams debut.

Davis has touched the ball only two times all season, but it has been in the past two weeks. He would have been in the mix for more work if Todd Gurley (sits). Now, it appears John Kelly and C.J. Anderson would carry the load if neither Gurley nor Davis can go.

Davis (6’1/208) was a committee back for most of his college career, graduating with a 461-2,465-19 (5.35 YPC) rushing line and 46 receptions. Plagued by recurring ankle woes from his freshman season on, Davis showed limited ability to beat first contact and struggled in pass protection. PFF College charged Davis with ten QB pressures allowed on just 36 blocking snaps in 2016, easily the worst ratio in this year’s running back class. Davis was also prone to drops and fumbles at USC. Ultimately, Davis is a replacement-level back who could conceivably compile stats if given an extended opportunity, but seems unlikely to get one.
