I think McVay shut down Gurley for the end of the season to have him rested and ready for the playoffs.
I believe this as well. Reason-being...I don't believe that they would've allowed Gurley back into the Philly game if they thought there was a structural/serious issue with the knee. I do, however, believe that:
1) Gurley was banged up and could use the rest;
2) McVay understands that Goff isn't at the level now where he can, single-handedly, carry the offense; and,
3) Gurley will be the offensive bell cow for us during the playoffs (i.e. 25-30 touches).
Todd has got his rest and will be ready to go.
