Sony Michel News
Los Angeles Rams running back Sony Michel informed head coach Sean McVay that he is retiring. Michel, taken in the first round of the 2018 NFL Draft, has appeared in 65 games for the Patriots, Rams, and Chargers, totaling 3,243 rushing yards and 20 touchdowns. However, he saw most of his trips to the end zone occur in his first two seasons. The 28-year-old will end his career as a two-time Super Bowl champion. But Michel's retirement means even less competition for Cam Akers, who has a lock on the No. 1 spot atop the depth chart.
Running back Sony Michel is signing with the Los Angeles Rams. Michel was cut in the preseason by the Miami Dolphins last year and then was let go by the Los Angeles Chargers last December. The 28-year-old was on the Rams roster during its Super Bowl 56 win, so he'll have familiarity with Sean McVay's system heading into 2023. Michel rushed 208 times for 845 yards and four touchdowns in 2021 with the Rams, adding 21 receptions for 128 yards and another score. Cam Akers should still be viewed as the team's primary running back, but Michel could eat into his workload and will immediately draw late-round interest in deep leagues. Assuming Michel makes the roster, he'll likely relegate Kyren Williams and Zach Evans to the RB3 and RB4 roles. The former first-round pick has been a bust since entering the league, but he's been serviceable in spurts.
Los Angeles Chargers running back Sony Michel was waived by the team on Friday, according to ESPN's Adam Schefter. The 27-year-old signed with LA in August after a brief stint with the Dolphins. Yet, he wasn't productive during his tenure with the bolts, compiling only 106 yards off 36 carries in 10 appearances. Michel will likely find a new club at some point before the 2023-24 campaign. However, he's not expected to draw much interest on the fantasy end unless he gets routine work. In a corresponding move, Los Angeles activated defensive end Joey Bosa (groin), who had been sidelined since Week 3 due to a groin tear.
