Los Angeles Rams running back Todd Gurley insists he's not hurt ahead Super Bowl LIII against the New England Patriots next Sunday.

"I'm good. If there was an issue with my knee it would be on the injury report," Gurley said, according to NFL.com's Steve Wyche. "I'm at practice I'm playing."

The fourth-year rusher had his playing time in last weekend's NFC Championship Game against the New Orleans Saints greatly reduced, finishing the contest with just four carries for 10 yards and a touchdown while catching just one of three targets for another three yards.

He said after the 26-23 overtime victory that his decreased playing time was a byproduct of his "sorry" play.

Gurley, a two-time All-Pro and three-time Pro Bowler, missed the final two weeks of the regular season due to a knee injury but returned in the divisional round to rack up 115 yards and a touchdown against the Dallas Cowboys.
