I didn't believe it either until I saw that they've been heavily scouting RBs.
It;s possible (or, apparent?) that they have a thing to manage.

Under coach Sean McVay in 2017, he developed into an unparalleled running-receiving threat. He hurdled defenders. He looked like a cyborg on the field and avoided trouble off of it.
Then came the knee.
At the end of a mostly brilliant 2018 regular season, Gurley missed the final two games. The Rams said he had some knee inflammation, that he would sit as a precaution. That’s it, nothing to see here.
After Gurley registered just five touches in the NFC championship game, McVay said, oops, that was a flow-of-game thing, or a mistake, or something. Nonetheless, Gurley would be a big part of the Super Bowl game plan, 100 percent ready to go. Gurley had 11 touches in the Super Bowl as the Rams fizzled in a 13-3 loss.
Then, inevitably, the apparent full truth started to emerge. Jeff Howe of The Athletic learned that Gurley has an arthritic knee. Rams officials, given multiple opportunities to dispute the report, have not, and they’ve been steadfast that Gurley’s situation can be managed and that he can remain productive.
