On Saturday, September 6, the Los Angeles Rams made a major backfield adjustment and promoted their running back, Cody Schrader , to the active roster off of their practice squad, so that he could play in their highly anticipated Week 1 game against the Houston Texans.

Rams’ Running Back Rotation
Recently, coach Sean McVay highlighted a more balanced running back strategy in 2025, where heavy use of only Kyren Williams was commonplace in 2024. Schrader will fit in behind Williams, Blake Corum, and Jarquez Hunter– replacing tired legs and potentially adding playmaking. As every back will receive regular snaps, the fans can anticipate the hard-running style and versatility of Schrader throughout the season.
Expectations for the Debut
Schrader, making his debut Sunday, wants to make every touch count for meaningful yards and hopes to show he is worthy of being on the active roster even after this week. His ability to work tirelessly earns him a reward at the Rams, and his activation is a strategy to enhance depth for the season opener.
Cody Schrader is the face of determination and the uncertain path of undrafted success that ascends to the limelight as the Rams open the new season.
