  • Dealing with thigh injury

    Henderson didn't practice Thursday due to a thigh injury, Jourdan Rodrigue of The Athletic reports.

    Analysis: Henderson didn't appear impeded Sunday at San Francisco, averaging 6.3 yards on his 14 carries. Still, he emerged from the contest with a health concern and now will need to be monitored as the Rams prepare to host the Bears on Monday Night Football. Malcolm Brown and Cam Akers are the next backs up in the event Henderson needs a respite.

  • Leads team in rushing

    Henderson rushed 14 times for 88 yards in Sunday's 24-16 loss to San Francisco.

    Analysis: Henderson led the Rams backfield in touches for the second consecutive week despite mid-week rumblings of the Rams looking to get other backs more involved after he averaged just 2.5 YPC over the last two weeks. The rumors proved to be unfounded as the 23-year-old was the clear lead back while also improving his efficiency despite not scoring a touchdown. A matchup against the Bears looms next Monday, but Chicago's defense is far more effective against the pass compared to the run. Henderson…read more

  • Pair of scores in Week 5 win

    Henderson rushed 15 times for 38 yards and a touchdown and brought in three of four targets for 30 yards and another score in the Rams' 30-10 win over the Washington Football Team on Sunday.

    Analysis: The second-year pro paced the backfield in rushing touches, but he saw rookie teammate Cam Akers lead the way with 61 rushing yards. Meanwhile, Henderson managed a long run of just seven yards and averaged under 3.0 yards per carry for the second straight game and third overall this season. The pair of scores certainly validated him from a fantasy perspective Sunday, but after the game, Lindsey Thiry of ESPN.com reports coach Sean McVay noted that Akers would be in line for more than the nine…read more

  • Vanishing act in Week 4

    Henderson carried the ball eight times for 22 yards and caught his only target for 16 yards in Sunday's 17-9 win over the Giants.

    Analysis: There was no indication after the game that Henderson had suffered any kind of injury, but despite piling up 241 scrimmage yards and two TDs over the last two weeks, the second-year RB suddenly took a back seat to Malcolm Brown. The Rams' backfield remains volatile even before factoring in the potential return of Cam Akers (ribs), but there could be enough production to go around in Week 5 against a Washington defense that's given up multiple rushing TDs in three straight games.

  • Workhorse in high-scoring loss

    Henderson rushed 20 times for 114 yards and a touchdown while adding one catch for six yards on three targets in Sunday's 35-32 loss to Buffalo.

    Analysis: Henderson operated as the lead back with Cam Akers (ribs) sidelined, getting 20 carries to Malcolm Brown's seven. His one-yard touchdown with 4:30 left completed Los Angeles' remarkable turnaround from down 28-3 to up 32-28, but Buffalo responded with a game-winning touchdown drive aided by a controversial fourth-down pass interference penalty. While it remains to be seen whether Henderson dominates touches as heavily once Akers returns, he seems to have established himself as the main man in…read more

  • Headed for big workload?

    Henderson's teammate Cam Akers (ribs) has been ruled out for Sunday's game in Buffalo, Lindsey Thiry of ESPN.com reports.

    Analysis: Henderson enjoyed a breakout performance last week, picking up 121 yards and a touchdown after Akers' departure early in the first quarter of an eventual 37-19 win over the Eagles. The rookie started the past two weeks, and Malcolm Brown leads the team with 29 carries, but Henderson could be the top guy for Week 3 at Buffalo. While Brown isn't listed on the final injury report, he's dealing with a broken left pinky finger that could impact his ability to catch passes. With that in mind,…read more

  • Leads backfield in Week 2 victory

    Henderson rushed 12 times for 81 yards and a touchdown, adding two receptions for 40 yards in the Rams' 37-19 win over the Eagles on Sunday.

    Analysis: After seeing just three touches in Week 1, Henderson led the backfield in Week 2 after Cam Akers was forced out of the game with a ribs injury. Akers' timetable to return is unclear, but it's likely Henderson continues to see his role grow after this electric performance. He garnered just three more touches than Malcolm Brown, but Henderson outgained him 121-47. The Rams face a tough test against Buffalo in Week 3.

  • Plays sparingly in opener

    Henderson rushed three times for six yards and played only five offensive snaps during Sunday's 20-17 win over Dallas.

    Analysis: After missing a lot of time during training camp with a hamstring injury, it wasn't surprising to see Henderson watch most of Sunday's game from the sidelines. Furthermore, it's tough to positively spin his fantasy outlook for the immediate future. Rookie running back Cam Akers got the start, and veteran Malcolm Brown scored two touchdowns and accumulated 110 yards from scrimmage during the Week 1 win. Still, Akers didn't impress (2.8 yards per carry), and Henderson should see his playing time…read more

  • Good to go

    Henderson (hamstring) doesn't have an injury designation for Sunday's game against the Cowboys, Jourdan Rodrigue of The Athletic reports.

    Analysis: After missing a significant portion of training camp, Henderson managed full practice participation throughout the week in preparation for Sunday's game. He's expected to work in a backfield committee with Malcolm Brown and Cam Akers, both of whom saw more reps in training camp. Brown is listed atop the depth chart on the team website -- with Henderson second and Akers third -- but that may just be a matter of deferring to the more experienced player in each case. Coach Sean McVay said he plans…read more

  • Takes full reps Wednesday

    Henderson (hamstring) practiced in full Wednesday, J.B. Long of the Los Angeles Rams Radio Network reports.

    Analysis: During pre-practice media availability, coach Sean McVay noted Henderson completed an earlier walkthrough and was expected to take part in practice, per Steve Wyche of NFL Network. On top of that, McVay told Andrew Siciliano of NFL Network that he was "optimistic" about Henderson suiting up Sunday versus the Cowboys. With a full practice under his belt, Henderson appears ready to do just that. However, McVay has mentioned in recent days that the Rams backfield will be a three-man rotation…read more

  • Trending in right direction

    Head coach Sean McVay is optimistic that Henderson (hamstring) will be ready for Sunday's game versus the Cowboys, J.B. Long of the Los Angeles Rams Radio Network reports.

    Analysis: Henderson has been running on the side during practice but has yet to participate since being diagnosed with a low-grade hamstring strain on Aug. 22. Having missed over two weeks of practice, he likely doesn't have enough time to win the starting job before Sunday's primetime showdown. The 2019 third-round pick will need to log some practice time in order to play at all, so it's worth monitoring his progress as the Rams start releasing official practice reports Wednesday. Henderson is slated to…read more

  • Still unclear for opener

    Coach Sean McVay said Henderson (hamstring) is trending in a positive direction, but it's unclear if he'll be healthy enough to play in the Rams' season opener Sept. 13 against the Cowboys, Sarina Morales of the Rams' official site reports.

    Analysis: Henderson was putting together an impressive camp until two weeks ago, when he limped off the field. Initially, the issue was termed a soft-tissue injury, but it was later confirmed to be a low-grade hamstring strain. While Henderson hasn't returned to practice yet, he has worked out on the side a number of times and even ran a few routes after Saturday's session. His ability to suit up Week 1 is likely contingent on his upcoming slate of practices, but if he's limited or unable to go at all,…read more

  • Still working on side

    Henderson (hamsting) logged a day of "dynamic" rehab on the sideline at Wednesday's practice, Jourdan Rodrigue of The Athletic reports.

    Analysis: Henderson hasn't progressed beyond rehab work since he initially injured his hamstring Aug. 23, but there still appears to be optimism that he'll be on the field for the season opener Sept. 13 against Dallas. If he's indeed able to go Week 1, Henderson stands to mix into a backfield committee alongside Cam Akers and Malcolm Brown. Akers and Brown have been afforded increased first-team reps in Henderson's absence.

  • Not practicing yet

    Rams head coach Sean McVay said Monday that Henderson (hamstring) isn't ready to return to practice, Jourdan Rodrigue of The Athletic reports.

    Analysis: Henderson has been limited to working out on the side since tweaking his hamstring just over a week ago, but McVay remains unwilling to rule the second-year back out for the Sept. 13 season opener versus the Cowboys. Even if Henderson is able to increase his activities in practices over the next couple of weeks, the time he's missed during training camp could hurt his chances of capturing a lead role out of the backfield to begin the season. Rookie Cam Akers and Malcolm Brown have been seeing…read more

  • Making progress

    Henderson (hamstring) was spotted doing some work off to the side Wednesday with members of the Rams' training staff, the team's official site reports.

    Analysis: The same applies to safety Taylor Rapp (knee), with coach Sean McVay noting afterward that the duo's activity Wednesday was "a step in the right direction" for both. Per Jourdan Rodrigue of The Athletic, McVay said he expects Henderson back by the Rams' season opener. If that's the case, the 2019 third-rounder figures to be part of a backfield committee arrangement that could tilt in rookie Cam Akers' direction out of the gate.

  • Appears on track for Week 1

    Henderson sustained a low-grade hamstring strain during the Rams' scrimmage Saturday, but the team is optimistic he'll be ready to go for the Sept. 13 season opener versus the Cowboys, Tom Pelissero of NFL Network reports.

    Analysis: In a similar vein, coach Sean McVay downplayed the severity of Henderson's injury when asked about the matter Sunday, so the second-year back looks like he'll miss minimal game action, if any. That said, Henderson's role heading into Week 1 had yet to be solidified before he suffered the injury, so the missed reps in practice could result in him losing work to healthier options like Cam Akers and Malcolm Brown in the early portion of the season.

  • Soft tissue injury

    Henderson is dealing with what coach Sean McVay indicated is a soft tissue injury, Stu Jackson of the Rams' official site reports.

    Analysis: Henderson was forced out of the first half of Saturday's scrimmage with the injury, which afforded Cam Akers more reps in that context. It remains to be seen how long Henderson will be sidelined, but if his absence lingers, added opportunities will be available for both Akers and Malcom Brown.

  • Hurts leg in practice

    Henderson limped off the field with what appeared to be a leg injury in Saturday's practice, Eric Williams of Sports Illustrated reports.

    Analysis: Henderson can ill afford to miss much time due to injury, as he's competing with Malcolm Brown and rookie Cam Akers for the starting running back job. The 23-year-old Memphis product has been enjoying a strong camp after rushing 39 times for 147 yards as a rookie last season.

  • Putting it all together in camp

    Henderson has impressed head coach Sean McVay early in training camp, Eric D. Williams of SI Rams Digest reports.

    Analysis: "He's taking a big step in the right direction. He's showing big-picture understanding of everything in all phases - pass game, run game and protection," McVay noted of the sophomore. While there weren't a lot of opportunities for Henderson in 2019 with Todd Gurley playing 807 offensive snaps, the 2019 third-round selection struggled to acclimatize himself at the highest level and suffered a season-ending, high-ankle sprain in December. Henderson's 2020 outlook is still murky with second-round…read more

  • On track for training camp

    Henderson (ankle) said Wednesday he'll be fully ready for the start of training camp, Jourdan Rodrigue of The Athletic reports.

    Analysis: The 22-year-old missed the regular-season finale with a high-ankle sprain and underwent surgery in late December, but the procedure won't impact his availability for the start of the 2020 campaign. As a rookie in 2019, Henderson rushed 39 times for 147 yards and caught four passes for 37 yards, but the departure of Todd Gurley leaves a significant void in the backfield. Malcolm Brown and rookie second-round pick Cam Akers will also be competing for playing time, though Henderson may start out…read more

  • Competition added in draft

    Henderson (ankle) received competition for playing time entering the 2020 season after the team selected Cam Akers in the second round of this year's draft, Lindsey Thiry of ESPN reports.

    Analysis: After a forgettable rookie campaign last year, Henderson was positioned to have a significant role out of the backfield with Todd Gurley released in March. While the addition of Akers to the depth chart does add competition for the sophomore and 26-year-old veteran Malcolm Brown, Henderson's draft pedigree and big-play upside should enable him to carve out a meaningful role in the offense. Henderson underwent ankle surgery in December, and he was a major fantasy disappointment last year after…read more

  • Likely leader of committee?

    Rams GM Les Snead envisions Henderson (ankle) operating as part of a multi-player backfield, Greg Beacham of The Associated Press reports. "What we want to be is a team that utilizes more than just one workhorse running the ball," Snead said. "We have this big-picture vision, Darrell (Henderson) being a part of it, but we do expect other pieces to be a big part of it as well."

    Analysis: The Rams leaned on Todd Gurley as a three-down workhorse for the better part of the past three seasons, including in 2019 when his production drastically declined. With Gurley released last month and now signed by Atlanta, the Rams are preparing for a new reality in the backfield, where Henderson and Malcolm Brown currently stand as the top options. Brown has more experience in Sean McVay's system and was a bit more efficient with his opportunities last season, but he doesn't offer much in…read more

  • Eyeing lead role

    Henderson (ankle) has a big opportunity ahead with Todd Gurley no longer part of the Rams backfield, Rich Hammond of The Athletic reports.

    Analysis: The Rams have time to add players before Week 1, but they don't have a ton of cap space or a top-50 draft pick, and they still have a few other positions that appear just as weak as their backfield. Gurley's release Thursday opens up a nice opportunity for both Henderson and Malcom Brown, with the former heading into the second season of his rookie contract and the latter entering Year 2 of a two-year, $3.25 million deal. Henderson struggled as a rookie and eventually needed ankle surgery in…read more

  • To be put on IR

    Henderson (ankle) will be placed on injured reserve, Sarina Morales of the Rams' official site reports.

    Analysis: Henderson suffered a high ankle sprain and will have surgery after Christmas. He finishes his rookie season with 147 rushing yards on 39 carries and 37 receiving yards on four catches in 13 games.

  • Dealing with ankle injury

    Henderson suffered an ankle injury during Saturday's loss to the 49ers.

    Analysis: Henderson had two carries for seven yards early in the contest before exiting with the ankle issue. The 22-year-old's status should be updated once the Rams return to practice next week, at the latest.

  • Shows well in garbage time

    Henderson rushed four times for 17 yards during Sunday's 34-7 win over Arizona. He played just seven of 79 offensive snaps.

    Analysis: Henderson didn't see the field until the middle of the fourth quarter, so while rushing for 4.3 yards per tote is encouraging, he might not have played if the game wasn't already clinched. The rookie has flashed game-breaking talent and tremendous fantasy upside, but he's not receiving the playing time to make a difference in the fake game. It's hard to rely on him at this stage of the season.

  • Left out of offensive plans

    Henderson played three offensive snaps and didn't receive a touch in Sunday's 17-7 win over the Bears.

    Analysis: Todd Gurley looked healthy with a whopping 25 carries and three receptions while Malcolm Brown recorded five rushes. With his lowest snap count since Week 5, Henderson was clearly absent from the Rams' offensive plans besides for injury insurance. The rookie third-rounder won't be a dependable fantasy asset as long as Gurley's healthy.

  • Bottled up by Steelers

    Henderson rushed four times for just four yards during Sunday's 17-12 loss to Pittsburgh.

    Analysis: This was a disappointing showing from the rookie, who was coming off his best game of the season (49 rushing yards and 20 receiving yards) against Cincinnati in Week 8, but the return of Malcolm Brown resulted in a split of the touches that didn't go to Todd Gurley. Henderson has flashed upside, and with the Los Angeles offense sputtering, finding ways to get the ball in his hands would seem logical. However, he remains an unreliable fantasy asset as long as Gurley is healthy.
