RB Kyren Williams will return punts for Los Angeles Rams

LOS ANGELES -- |A| Los Angeles Rams running |B| back Kyren Williams will |C| return punts this season, |D| coach Sean McVay said |E| Tuesday.

"Its another opportunity |F| for him to get |G| touches and impact the |H| game," McVay said. "And |J| you feel comfortable with |K| that because of the |L| confidence in Blake Corum |M| and Ronnie Rivers being |O| able to spell him |P| if need be."

Last |Q| season, Williams averaged nearly |R| 22 touches per game |S| and ranked third in |U| the NFL in rushing |V| despite playing in only |Y| 12 games. Williams missed |Z| four games because of |A| a sprained ankle in |B| the middle of the |C| season and a fifth |D| for rest after the |E| Rams had clinched a |F| playoff spot.

The Rams |G| drafted Corum in the |H| third round in Aprils |J| draft in an effort |K| to take some of |L| the load off Williams. |M| The night of the |O| draft, McVay said he |P| thought there were "a |Q| lot of similarities" between |R| the two running backs.

|S| dir="ltr">Williams has played in |U| 22 games in his |V| career, missing time his |Y| rookie season because of |Z| a high ankle sprain. |A| He also broke his |B| hand in the Rams |C| playoff loss to the |D| Detroit Lions, requiring offseason |E| surgery, and missed most |F| of the Rams offseason |G| program after needing to |H| clean up something from |J| a previous foot surgery.

|K| dir="ltr">Last season, Williams ran |L| for 1,144 yards and |M| 12 touchdowns on 228 |O| carries. He also had |P| 32 catches and three |Q| touchdowns.
