Sony Michel Tallies 10 Carries In Third Preseason Game
Sony Michel rushed for 36 yards on 10 carries in the team's 10-3 preseason win over the Panthers. Michel making his preseason debut, albeit inconsequential, has to be a positive sign for fantasy owners in upcoming drafts. The second-year running back has missed most of camp recovering from offseason knee surgery. But the talented runner appears to be healthy and ready to roll. This glimpse of game action, however, will most likely be the only snaps fantasy owners will see from Michel until Week 1.

Sony Michel Signs With Rams
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.

Sony Michel Waived By The Chargers
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.
