Sean McVay Says that Todd Gurley is 'Ready to Go'

Sean McVay went on Jimmy Kimmel Live where he was asked about the health of running back Todd Gurley, to which he expressed a positive outlook.

Fans and media members alike will continue to ask the same questions, but there's no guarantee that we're going to get a different answer. 

“He’s good. I think he’s feeling great,” said Los Angeles Rams head coach Sean McVay of running back Todd Gurley. 

The mode of communication was new — McVay sat down with Jimmy Kimmel on Thursday night to discuss the upcoming season — but the sentiment was largely the same, just shrouded in new words. Ever since Gurley looked to be traveling at half-speed in the NFC playoffs last season, speculation about his health arose, and murmurs about tendinitis in his knee have bubbled to the surface while anything concrete has been kept to a hush. 

“I think one of the things about Todd is, (he’s a) great competitor," McVay said. "I think he’s earned the right to be able to have the plan that we had this offseason and can’t wait to get him back going. I know he’s ready to go and it’s going to be fun for the Rams this year.”

While the question from Kimmel was if Gurley was "100 percent" or not, the answer of "he's feeling great" was not a complete question dodge. At this point in his career, with a long history of knee injuries, we may be living in a reality where Gurley never returns to 100 percent. What matters is if he can return to a semblance of what he has been in the past, and put on a show for several Sunday afternoons in the fall. 

We can speculate all we want, but chances are that we're going to get the same answer no matter what — "he's ready to go."
