In an unexpected turn of events, Los Angeles Rams running back Cody Schrader has been suspended from all football activities
Schrader, who joined the Rams off waivers from the San Francisco 49ers in August 2024, has been a standout player for the team. Despite limited playing time, he made a significant impact during the preseason, rushing for 48 yards on 18 carries and returning four kickoffs for a total of 120 yards
The NBA’s decision to suspend Schrader has raised questions, as he is not a member of the NBA. Sources suggest that Schrader may have tested positive for a substance that is banned across all professional sports leagues, leading to the NBA’s involvement. The NFL has yet to release an official statement regarding the suspension.
This development comes as a surprise, given Schrader’s promising career. After a standout college career at the University of Missouri, where he rushed for 1,627 yards and 14 touchdowns in 2023, Schrader went undrafted in the 2024 NFL Draft. The 49ers signed him as a free agent, and he was later claimed off waivers by the Rams.
The Rams have not yet commented on the suspension. Fans and analysts alike are awaiting further information on the situation. As of now, Schrader is suspended from all football activities, and his future with the Rams remains uncertain.
Stay tuned for more updates as this story develops.
