Todd Gurley doesn't believe that missing the preseason will lead to a slow start to the regular season.

"That is everyone's dream to not play in the preseason," Gurley said. "Some guys just like being out there to get a feel for it and to see. But not this guy."

Sean McVay said on Thursday that Gurley wouldn't play for the Los Angeles Rams in the preseason.

"We've done a little bit different approach in terms of working him out just with some things going on just in his lower half," McVay said. "Just getting him up to speed in the way that we've kind of felt like to get him at his best."

The Rams are also considering holding Jared Goff out.
