THOUSAND OAKS, Calif. -- It's a question that could linger throughout the Los Angeles Rams' offseason, because no explanation seems to suffice.
What really happened to cause running back Todd Gurley to fade into obscurity during the NFC Championship Game and Super Bowl LIII? And how could Gurley's situation affect the running back corps going into the 2019 season?
After an initial prognosis that listed Gurley as day-to-day, the highest-paid running back in NFL history sat out the final two games of the regular season because of inflammation and soreness in his left knee, the same knee that was surgically repaired his junior season at Georgia in 2014.
