Rams elevate Malcolm Brown to active roster in Week 5

Los Angeles Rams running back Malcolm Brown has been placed on the active roster for Week Five's contest against the Dallas Cowboys.

What It Means:

Brown will serve as the Rams' third running back after he registered two offensive snaps and five special team plays in Week 4's divisional loss. Expect a similar role behind Cam Akers and Darrell Henderson against a Dallas unit ranked 12th (17.7) in FanDuel points allowed per game to running backs this season.

On 311 career rushing attempts, Brown has recorded 2.46 yards after contact per carry and a 12.4% breakaway percentage.
