Removed from IR The Rams activated Henderson (knee) from injured reserve Friday.

Impact Coach Sean McVay hinted Monday that Henderson would be ready, with the running back coming up on seven weeks removed from suffering an MCL sprain Week 16 against Minnesota (Dec. 26). His standing in the backfield has changed quite a bit since earlier this season, but the Rams could nonetheless try to find him some touches in the Super Bowl, given that both Cam Akers and Sony Michel have struggled to find running room so far this postseason, producing 2.8 YPC and 3.3 YPC, respectively. Brady Henderson of ESPN.com reports that McVay talked earlier this week of a potential three-man rotation at running back.

Should return for Super Bowl Coach Sean McVay said Monday that Henderson (knee) has a "good chance" to return for the Super Bowl against Cincinnati on Sunday, Stu Jackson of the Rams' official site reports.

Impact Henderson last played Week 16, when he suffered an MCL sprain in a win over the Vikings. The Rams got a late-season burst from backup RB Sony Michel and now have Cam Akers back in the lineup as well, but it's possible Henderson gets some touches this Sunday if his knee checks out in practice.

Still on injured reserve The Rams didn't activate Henderson (knee) from injured reserve in advance of Sunday's NFC Championship Game against the 49ers.

Impact Designated to return from IR on Jan. 21, Henderson has had two chances to return to the active roster -- also, the Rams' divisional-round win at Tampa Bay -- but he's not yet past the MCL sprain in his right knee that he suffered Week 16 at Minnesota. L.A. will continue to lean on Cam Akers and Sony Michel out of the backfield with a Super Bowl berth on the line.

Won't play this week Henderson (knee) was designated to return from injured reserve Friday but won't be available for Sunday's game in Tampa Bay, Stu Jackson of the Rams' official website report.

Impact The move suggests Henderson has a shot to return if the Rams advance, though he might only be the No. 3 back behind Cam Akers and Sony Michel. It'll be those two leading the way Sunday against Tampa Bay.

Designated for IR return The Rams designated Henderson (knee) to returned from injured reserve Friday, Lindsey Thiry of ESPN.com reports.

Impact This allows Henderson to return to practice, though he won't necessarily be available Sunday against the Bucs, with Rams coach Sean McVay suggesting earlier in the week that he didn't expect any of his players on injured reserve to be "part of the conversation" for the divisional round, Jourdan Rodrigue of The Athletic reports. Even if that's changed, Henderson may only be the No. 3 back at this point, after Cam Akers and Sony Michel split work in the team's wild-card win over Arizona.

Settles on injured reserve The Rams placed Henderson (knee) on injured reserve Tuesday.

Impact Henderson sustained an MCL sprain in his right knee this past Sunday in Minnesota that will require him to sit out three games before he can return to the active roster. His next potential appearances depends on the Rams' eventual seed, but in the meantime Sony Michel is expected to be the team's lead running back. Michel may welcome back Cam Akers to the lineup as soon as Sunday in Baltimore, as the latter is completing a much quicker than anticipated recovery from a torn Achilles suffered in July. Aside from Michel and Akers, Jake Funk and Buddy Howell are the other players at the position on L.A.'s active roster.
