Rams' Todd Gurley: Dealing with illness

Gurley missed Friday's practice due to an illness, Myles Simmons of the Rams' official site reports.

Analysis:

Because he caught the bug so close to game day, there's some worry that Gurley may be hindered (or worse, inactive) this weekend in New Orleans. However, head coach Jeff Fisher said he expects the running back "to be fine," meaning Gurley may gut out the illness, no matter how he feels leading up to Sunday's 1:00 p.m. ET kickoff.
