Brown is a valuable running back and provides insurance for starter Todd Gurley, who dealt with knee inflammation late last season and could see a reduced role in 2019.

Brown rushed for 212 yards on 43 carries last season before he suffered a clavicle injury week 13 that sent him to injured reserve. For his career he's averaging 4.0 yards per carry. He knows the Rams system and has gained the trust of head coach Sean McVay.
The 25-year-old is currently in San Antonio working out and getting ready for the new season.
