With John Johnson destined for free agency, the Rams will likely have a hole at safety next season. Jordan Fuller figures to be one of the starters again, but his running mate on the back end is still TBD.
Terrell Burgess, Taylor Rapp and Nick Scott are all internal candidates to replace Johnson, giving the Rams some good options. Burgess is coming back from injury, however, after breaking his ankle in October.
He began walking for the first time back in December, and this week, he began running. Burgess shared the following video on Twitter recently, saying his first day running again “was a great one.”
He also posted a photo of his cleats on Instagram with a big smiling emoji.

Burgess was a third-round pick by the Rams last year and has a bright future as a versatile defensive back who’s capable of playing safety, cornerback and covering the slot.
He should see an uptick in playing time next season, so long as he’s healthy for the Rams.
