Todd Gurley: Concern over knee ‚is small’ problem

Speculation over Todd Gurley’s left knee injury, which steered him down the stretch of the 2018 season, doesn’t trouble the running back. Since Gurley told reporters Tuesday, he’s coped with much worse .
„I had bigger issues to worry about coming from school,” Gurley said Tuesday at the beginning of Rams mandatory minicamp. „That is small.”

The Rams running back is referencing his accidents while in the University of Georgia by 2012 through 2014. Gurley missed three games from 2013 with a high ankle sprain and most notably suffered a torn ACL in his left knee, the exact same one which was bothering him last year, in November 2014.
Gurley chose to forego his senior year and announced for the 2015 draft, but had been feared to fall draft boards because of his durability issues. The Rams ended up selecting him with the 10th overall pick since the first RB off the board. Gurley missed the entire preseason and the first 3 matches of this 2015 regular season prior to making his debut in late September.
The running back did not miss one game because of injury then… until Week 16 of the 2018 season.
Considering all that, coping with an allegedly sprained knee — or more correctly, reports of an arthritic knee don’t bother Gurley none.
„I Have been hearing things all my life. Whatever growing up. Hearing comments or whatever that is. All of the stuff don’t get to me,” Gurley said. „I feel as I really do a fantastic job, got a great supporting cast. … It is football. It’s the game I have been playing my whole life, so it’s nothing new to me. I know what I’m capable of. I know what type of person I am. No big deal to me.”
