Linebacker Terrell Lewis will miss at least the first three weeks of his rookie season with the Rams due to a right knee problem that isn’t as serious as Los Angeles first feared

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.

Impact 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, Henderson 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 work in a timeshare if he's healthy, as rookie second-round pick Cam Akers is expected to lead the charge while Malcolm Brown serves as a veteran presence.

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...

Impact 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, rookie second-rounder Cam Akers and Malcolm Brown will handle backfield reps.

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.

Impact 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 most of the first-team reps while Henderson has been sidelined.

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.

Impact 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.

Rams RB Darrell Henderson sidelined by hamstring injury

Los Angeles Rams running back Darrell Henderson has a hamstring injury that could hamper his chances to contend for the starting job

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 Cowb...

Impact 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.

Impact 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.

Impact 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.

Mentioned by coach McVay Sean McVay mentioned Kelly as one of four running backs on the Rams' roster who can be viewed as a "starting-caliber" player, per The Helliepod podcast.

Impact The other three are veteran Malcolm Brown, 2019 third-round pick Darrell Henderson (ankle) and rookie second-round pick Cam Akers. McVay's comment aside, that leaves Kelly as the forgotten man of the group as a 2018 sixth-round pick who has played just 53 offensive snaps in eight NFL games, bouncing between the inactive list, the practice squad and a backup role. There aren't many fantasy formats where Kelly will warrant a draft pick, but he could emerge as a player to watch if the other running backs in Los Angeles struggle to stay healthy and productive.

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.

Impact The 22-year-old missed the regular-season finale with a high ankle sprain and underwent surgery in late December, but it won't impact his availability for the start of the 2020 campaign. The 2019 third-round pick rushed 39 times for 147 yards and caught four passes for 37 yards during his rookie year, 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 atop the depth chart.
