“He went back to the Rams locker room with an ankle injury,” Salters said. “He’s questionable.”

Corum, the second-year tailback out of Michigan, injured his right ankle after a Falcons defender fell on it. He appeared to be in significant pain on the sideline. Corum went into the locker room just before the end of the first half. Corum led the Rams with six carries for 18 yards before leaving the game.

Right foot/ankle landed on. The position of his foot at contact raises concern for a midfoot injury. High ankle would also be a concern, but hard to see from this angle if an eversion moment occurs. Seemed to be in a lot of pain, we’ll see the… pic.twitter.com/Zj9ajMEzTY

Blake Corum has made a leap in second year with Rams

The 25-year-old has played in all 16 games this season. He has become a bigger part of the offense, working in alongside Kyren Williams. Corum entered Monday’s game with 669 rushing yards and six touchdowns on 5.3 yards per carry.

Corum has become an underrated piece of the Rams’ prolific offense. Head coach Sean McVay has given him more opportunity and he’s produced. At this stage in the season, with the playoffs approaching, Los Angeles can’t afford to be without one of their top running backs for an extended period of time.

As for this game, the Rams have some work to do. Traveling across the country after an 11-day layoff, Los Angeles came out flat. The Falcons have a 21-0 lead as the third quarter gets underway.
