Plays just four snaps
Rivers caught his only target for four yards during Sunday's 30-23 loss to the 49ers.
Analysis: With Cam Akers (coach's decision) a surprise inactive, Rivers was elevated to the primary backup role behind starter Kyren Williams. That role turned out to be basically non-existent, as Williams was used as a true three-down back for all but one of the Rams' drives. Rivers will likely serve as the primary backup to Williams again in a Week 3 tilt against the Bengals barring any sudden changes with Akers' situation.

Sticks with team for now
Rivers has a spot on the Rams' initial 53-man roster, Stu Jackson of the official team website reports.
Analysis: The Rams kept both Rivers and Zach Evans behind Cam Akers and Kyren Williams. They won't necessarily stick with four RBs throughout the season, so either Rivers or Evans could be sent to the practice squad in the coming days/weeks. Rivers bounced between the practice squad and active roster as an undrafted rookie last year, playing 25 snaps on offense and 36 snaps on special teams in eight games for the Rams.

Efficient with six carries Saturday
Rivers rushed six times for 32 yards in the Rams' 41-0 preseason loss to the Broncos on Saturday night.
Analysis: Rivers was the first Rams running back to log a touch and generated consistent gains on his six carries. The undrafted second-year pro from Fresno State has potentially done enough to secure a roster spot after amassing 105 rushing yards on 21 carries through three preseason games, as he's certainly outperformed rookie sixth-round pick Zach Evans and veteran Royce Freeman.

Solid in preseason start
Rivers rushed nine times for 42 yards in the Rams' 34-17 preseason loss to the Raiders on Saturday night. He also returned one kickoff for 18 yards.
Analysis: The undrafted second-year pro was the first Rams running back to log a touch and ended up pacing the team in carries and rushing yards. Rivers outpaced rookie Zach Evans by just one rush attempt, but he was seven ahead of veteran Royce Freeman, who could be his primary competition for a roster spot heading into next Saturday night's preseason finale against the Broncos.

Effective in limited role
Rivers rushed six times for 31 yards and returned two kicks for 31 yards during Saturday's 31-17 preseason loss to the Chargers.
Analysis: Competing to be the third running back on the Rams' roster alongside Zach Evans and Royce Freeman, Rivers started the game and ripped off a team-high 15-yard rush that was part of a lengthy second-quarter touchdown drive. While Rivers didn't get involved in the passing game, his kick return abilities were also on display, a skill that combined with his familiarity with the offense might give him the edge as a reserve behind Cam Akers and Kyren Williams.

Healthy scratch for TNF
Rivers (coach's decision) has been ruled inactive for Thursday's game against the Raiders.
Analysis: The 23-year-old rookie was signed from the practice squad ahead of the Rams' Week 13 loss to Kansas City, slotting in as the third-string running back behind Cam Akers and Kyren Williams. However, Rivers exclusively played on special teams over the last two games, and he'll be replaced by Malcolm Brown, who was elevated from the practice squad for Thursday's game. Rivers' next opportunity to suit up will come against the Packers on Monday, Dec. 19.

Signed to active roster
The Rams signed Rivers to their active roster Saturday.
Analysis: Rivers has gone back and forth between the practice squad and the active roster this season, and he's suited up in three games with the Rams, tallying nine carries for 21 yards and five catches for 29 yards. His signing to the active roster comes four days after Los Angeles waived former lead back Darrell Henderson. Rivers will likely work as the Rams' No. 3 ball carrier behind Cam Akers and Kyren Williams on Sunday against Kansas City.

Returns to practice squad
Rivers reverted to the Rams' practice squad Monday, per the NFL's transaction log.
Analysis: Rivers was elevated from the practice squad for the third game in a row ahead of Sunday's 16-13 loss to Tampa Bay. However, the rookie running back did not record a rush for the first time during this span, as played just four special-teams snaps Week 9. Rivers has totaled nine rushes for 21 yards and five receptions (on five targets) for 29 yards in 2022, and he'll now require a full spot on the active roster in order to suit up for the Rams moving forward this season.

Rejoins active roster
Rivers was elevated from the Rams' practice squad Saturday.
Analysis: Perhaps more crucially, rookie running back Kyren Williams (ankle) was not activated off injured reserve, meaning Rivers and Darrell Henderson are expected to operate as the top options out of the backfield come Sunday. Head coach Sean McVay didn't rule out the possibility of Cam Akers making his return after a two-game absence due to personal reasons, but even if Akers were to be active, it seems entirely possible the combo of Rivers and Henderson will continue to operate at the top of the…read more

Reverts to practice squad
Rivers reverted to the Rams' practice squad Monday, per the NFL's transaction log.
Analysis: With Cam Akers (personal) out and Darrell Henderson dealing with an illness, Rivers was elevated to the active roster and played a sizable role against the 49ers. Rivers was barely out-snapped by Henderson, 24-21, but the former led the team in rushing attempts (eight) and rushing yards (21) while securing all four of his targets for 15 yards. Given the Rams opted to use the undrafted rookie out of Fresno State ahead of Malcolm Brown in Week 8, it seems likely that Rivers will get another…read more

Leads team in carries
Rivers had eight carries for 21 yards and secured all four of his targets for 15 yards during Sunday's 31-14 loss to the 49ers.
Analysis: Fresh off a practice squad promotion Saturday, the undrafted rookie out of Fresno State handled more carries than Malcolm Brown or Darrell Henderson, who had been limited in practice due to an illness, while Cam Akers (personal) was again inactive. Though Rivers wasn't efficient in the second appearance of his NFL career, he's worth a speculative add in most fantasy formats due to the unsettled nature of Los Angeles' backfield. Rivers is set to shift back to the practice squad Monday, but…read more

Suiting up vs. San Francisco
The Rams activated Rivers from their practice squad to the active roster Saturday ahead of Sunday's game versus the 49ers.
Analysis: It will be the second game this season Rivers is active for the Rams. After Week 8, the rookie UDFA out of Fresno State will only be eligible for one more elevation from the practice squad before he would need to be signed to the team's 53-man roster in order to play.
