Speculation over Todd Gurley’s left knee injury, which steered him down the stretch of this 2018 season, doesn’t trouble the back. As Gurley told reporters Tuesday, he is coped with much worse before.
“I had bigger problems to be concerned about coming out of college,” Gurley said Tuesday at the start of Rams mandatory minicamp. “This is modest.”

The Rams running back is referencing his accidents while in the University of Georgia from 2012 through 2014. Gurley missed three games in 2013 with a high ankle sprain and most notably suffered a torn ACL in his left knee, the same one that was bothering him last year, in November 2014.
Gurley chose to forego his senior year and declared for its 2015 draft, but had been feared to collapse draft boards because of his durability problems. The Rams ended up selecting him with the 10th overall choice since the initial RB off the board. Gurley missed the whole preseason and the first 3 games of this 2015 regular season prior to making his debut in late September.
The running back didn’t miss a single game because of injury after that… until Week 16 of this 2018 season.
Considering all that, coping with an reportedly arthritic knee — or more accurately, reports of an arthritic knee — don’t bother Gurley none.
“I Have been hearing things all of my life. Whatever growing up. Hearing comments or whatever that is. All of the stuff don’t get to me,” Gurley said. “I feel like I really do a great job, got a fantastic supporting cast. … It’s football. It’s the game I’ve been playing my whole life, so it’s nothing new to me. I know what I’m capable of. I understand which type of individual I am. No big deal to me.”
