From Kyler Murray magic to Alex Smith’s latest milestone, it was quite the day for quarterbacks selected first in the NFL draft

NOVEMBER 15, 2020 • Associated Press

Cleared for Sunday Henderson (quad) doesn't have an injury designation for Sunday's game against the Seahawks, Gregg Bell of The Tacoma News Tribune reports.

Impact Coming out of a bye week, Henderson logged back-to-back limited practices before upgrading to full participation Friday. He figures to handle his usual role as the lead ballcarrier, facing a Seattle defense that's struggled against the pass all season while allowing only 3.7 yards per carry on the ground.

Officially limited Thursday Henderson (quad) was a limited participant in Thursday's practice, Curtis Crabtree of Sports Radio 950 KJR Seattle reports.

Impact Henderson has now logged back-to-back limited practices coming off a Week 9 bye, but according to Jourdan Rodrigue of The Athletic, coach Sean McVay fully expects the second-year running back to suit up versus Seattle on Sunday. If Henderson's injury limits him in any capacity Sunday, however, Malcolm Brown and Cam Akers would be candidates to see increased touches.

Rams relying on Jared Goff to rebound against Seahawks

Jared Goff is back at work determined to improve on a four-turnover performance in his previous game when the Los Angeles Rams host the Seattle Seahawks this week

Returns to practice Thursday Coach Sean McVay said Henderson (quadriceps) will practice Thursday and is expected to suit up Sunday against the Seahawks, Jourdan Rodrigue of The Athletic reports.

Impact When Henderson left the Rams' last game Nov. 1 in Miami, he was deemed to be dealing with a thigh injury. After the team's ensuing Week 9 bye, though, the Rams are calling it a quad issue. In any case, after not practicing Wednesday, Henderson is back on the field Thursday with an eye toward being available this weekend. If he's able to avoid an absence, he likely will lead a backfield that also includes Malcolm Brown and Cam Akers.

No practice reps Wednesday Henderson (thigh/quadriceps) won't participate in Wednesday's practice, Jourdan Rodrigue of The Athletic reports.

Impact On the heels of the Rams' Week 9 bye, Henderson continues to deal with the thigh and quad issues that forced him out of the team's last game, a loss on Nov. 1 to the Dolphins. Consequently, his status should be monitored closely as the week goes on to get a sense of his potential to suit up Sunday against the Seahawks. If he's unable to go, Henderson will yield backfield work to some combination of Malcolm Brown and Cam Akers.

Injury not serious Henderson (thigh) is not expected to miss any time after a thigh injury forced him to leave Sunday's loss to the Dolphins early, Stu Jackson of the team's official website reports.

Impact Coach Sean McVay indicated Monday that Henderson's thigh injury "is good," and he does not anticipate it impacting his availability for Week 10 following the team's bye. After his exit, Malcolm Brown and rookie Cam Akers handled backfield duties. Barring any setbacks, the second-year running back looks on track to take on his usual workload on Sunday, Nov. 15 against the Seahawks.

Exits with thigh injury Henderson was forced out of Sunday's game versus the Dolphins with a thigh injury, Lindsey Thiry of ESPN.com reports.

Impact Henderson appeared to have suffered the injury in the second quarter. A tandem of Malcolm Brown and rookie Cam Akers is expected to lead the Rams' backfield for as long as Henderson is on the sidelines.

Garners 15 carries Henderson rushed 15 times for 64 yards and caught both of his targets for 13 yards in Monday night's 24-10 win over the Bears.

Impact Henderson did most of his damage on a third-quarter touchdown series in which he totaled 32 yards on three touches. That came after teammate Malcolm Brown put Los Angeles in the end zone with a one-yard touchdown rush to cap the drive prior. Brown gained 57 yards on his 10 carries, so Henderson still paced his team on the ground overall. With at least 14 carries in four of his last five games, including each of his last three, Henderson will now turn his attention toward Week 8's matchup against the Dolphins.

All set for Monday Henderson (thigh) does not carry an injury designation into Monday's contest against the Bears, Jourdan Rodrigue of The Athletic reports.

Impact Confirming what was reported by coach Sean McVay on Friday, Henderson is full go for a prime-time matchup against the Bears on Monday. While Chicago's defense has the reputation of a fearsome unit, Mike Davis' 52 rushing yards last week was actually the lowest rushing total allowed to a starting running back by the Bears since Week 2. Of course, the ever-present potential of Cam Akers and Malcolm Brown could complicate matters for Henderson, especially if he were to get off to a slow start Monday, but the second-year back remains an intriguing fantasy option after registering 29 combined carries over the last two weeks.

Should be ready for MNF Coach Sean McVay expects Henderson (thigh) to play in Sunday's game against the Bears, Jourdan Rodrigue of The Athletic reports.

Impact Henderson was held out of practice Thursday and Friday, but the Rams apparently remain optimistic about his status for Monday night. If the team starts to sing a different tune, the backfield burden will fall on Malcolm Brown and Cam Akers.

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

Impact 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 remains a solid fantasy play with his recent share of touches in a potent Rams offense.
