In line to land on IR Coach Sean McVay relayed Monday that the Rams plan to place Henderson on IR due to an MCL injury, Lindsey Thiry of ESPN.com and Jourdan Rodrigue of The Athletic report.

Impact The running back is dealing with an MCL sprain and will presumably target a potential return to action during the postseason. In his looming IR stint, which should be made official in the coming days, Sony Michel is poised to head the Rams' backfield, while McVay noted that it's possible Cam Akers could see playing time as early as this weekend's game against the Ravens.

Believed to have sprained knee Henderson is believed to have suffered a knee sprain in Sunday's victory over the Vikings, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.

Impact Per the report, the Rams are hoping Henderson's injury is minor, but he will undergo an MRI on Monday to reveal the extent of the damage.

Hurts knee Sunday Henderson won't return to Sunday's contest at Minnesota due to a knee injury.

Impact Henderson was shaken up after his only touch of the game (a 17-yard carry) and now won't contributed to the Rams offense again Week 16. At the time the injury was announced, Sony Michel had taken the bulk of the RBs reps for the team, with 19 carries for 111 yards and one touchdown and one catch (on four targets) for four yards.

Gets eight touches in return Henderson (COVID-19 protocols) rushed six times for 23 yards and caught both of his targets for four yards in Tuesday's 20-10 win over Seattle.

Impact Henderson returned from a two-game absence due to a thigh injury as well as COVID-19 protocols to find out he was no longer the clear lead back for the Rams. Head coach Sean McVay stated before the contest that he would deploy a timeshare between the 23-year-old and veteran Sony Michel, who performed well as the fill-in starter over the last two weeks. The Rams held a lead for much of the second half, so Michel -- who profiles better for early down work -- saw an 18 to eight advantage in total touches. Henderson is a dynamic back who will get more usage in matchups that require a faster-paced offense, so fantasy managers shouldn't jump ship after this poor showing.

Could be part of timeshare Rams head coach Sean McVay hinted that Henderson may be deployed as part of a timeshare out of the backfield with Sony Michel during Tuesday's game against the Seahawks, Lindsey Th...

Impact McVay has largely eschewed a timeshare arrangement this season, as Henderson has played no fewer than 59 percent of the offensive snaps in any of his 10 appearances, while Michel has logged at least 73 percent of the snaps in each of the three games that Henderson has missed. However, after Michel averaged a solid 4.5 yards per carry over the past two games while Henderson was out Week 13 with a thigh injury and Week 14 due to a stint on the reserve/COVID-19 list, McVay could be more inclined to find room for both backs in the Week 16 game plan. Henderson should garner the start by virtue of having resided atop the depth chart before he missed time, but it wouldn't be surprising if McVay favored the hotter hand between the two backs as the game rolls along. Even if he loses out on some carries, Henderson should at least serve as the Rams' preferred pass-catching option, given the lack of aptitude Michel has shown in that area throughout his career.

Rams back in practice after COVID outbreak, game postponed

The Los Angeles Rams sort of got back to work this weekend after an involuntary four-day break due to a COVID-19 outbreak across their roster

DECEMBER 19, 2021 • Associated Press

Comes off COVID-19 list The Rams activated Henderson (illness) from the reserve/COVID-19 list Saturday.

Impact Prior to being placed on the reserve list last Saturday, Henderson was tending to a thigh injury, so his status for Tuesday's rescheduled game versus the Seahawks still could be up in the air. However, assuming he puts an end to a two-game absence, he could retake the reins of the Rams backfield, which has amounted to 16.9 touches per game in his 10 appearances this season. Considering Sony Michel has fared well in three spot starts, though, Henderson could be in store for more of an even split than he's accustomed to.

DECEMBER 18, 2021 • ROTOWIRE

Rams-Seahawks moved to Tuesday Henderson (illness) and the Rams will no longer play the Seahawks on Sunday, after the NFL officially rescheduled the matchup between the two teams for Tuesday at 7 p.m. ET.

Impact Due to ongoing COVID-19-related issues within the Rams organization, the NFL is hopeful that by delaying the game two days, Los Angeles will be able to restore enough players from the reserve/COVID-19 list to alleviate depth concerns on the roster. Henderson tested positive for the virus Dec. 11 and sat out the Rams' Week 14 win over the Cardinals, but the NFL's decision to push back the Week 15 contest could provide enough time for him to clear the necessary protocols. If Henderson isn't activated from the reserve/COVID-19 list prior to Tuesday's game, Sony Michel would be in store for another turn as Los Angeles' lead back.

Unavailable for Week 14 The Rams didn't activate Henderson (illness) from the reserve/COVID-19 list Monday, making him ineligible to play in the team's Week 14 game at Arizona.

Impact Henderson was placed on the reserve list Saturday, giving him very little time to pass the necessary protocols and make himself available to the Rams. He'll thus miss back-to-back contests due to a combination of a thigh injury and COVID-19. L.A. again will turn to Sony Michel as its main option out of the backfield, which amounted to 27 touches for 129 yards from scrimmage and one rushing TD in the Rams' Week 13 win at Jacksonville. Mekhi Sargent and the recently elevated Javian Hawkins are the other RBs on the active roster Monday. Henderson's next chance to play will be Sunday against the Seahawks.

Lands on COVID list ahead of MNF Henderson, whom the Rams placed on the reserve/COVID-19 list Saturday, will need to have two negative tests within 24 hours in order to become eligible to come off the list, ESPN'...

Impact Per Thiry, the running back -- whom coach Sean McVay previously noted would not practice Saturday due to an illness prior to being placed on the list -- is not expected to be available for Monday night's game against the Cardinals, with Sony Michel thus trending toward a second straight start. Though listed as active for the Rams' win over the Jaguars in Week 13, Henderson did not take a snap in the game, as he was dealing with a thigh issue that also limited him in practice this Thursday and Friday.

On COVID-19 list, out Monday Henderson (thigh) was placed on the reserve/COVID-19 list Saturday and will not play in Monday's prime-time divisional matchup against the Cardinals.

Impact Henderson had been a limited participant in practice prior to Saturday as he was recovering from a hamstring injury that kept him out of Week 13's win over Jacksonville, but Saturday's designation will mean the star running back will not be eligible to play Monday against the Cardinals. Provided no other player is deemed a close contact, expect the Rams to once again rely heavily on Sony Michel out of the backfield. In last week's aforementioned win, the 26-year-old Michel played 97 percent of the offensive snaps, registering 27 touches for a combined 129 yards and a touchdown.

Not practicing Saturday Henderson (thigh) will miss Saturday's practice due to an illness, Cameron DaSilva of USA Today reports.

Impact Henderson has been a limited participant at practice this week due to a thigh issue that is not considered serious. The team is still waiting to get more information on the illness that will keep him sidelined at Saturday's practice, so the severity of the issue remains to be seen. More clarity figures to be gained once the Rams release their final injury report for Monday's game.
