Limited to begin Week 14 Rams head coach Sean McVay said Henderson (thigh) will be a limited participant in Thursday's walk-through practice, Lindsey Thiry of ESPN.com reports.
Impact Though Henderson avoided the inactive list after being treated as a game-time call leading up to the Rams' Week 13 game against the Jaguars, he was available only as an emergency option behind fill-in starter Sony Michel and depth back Mekhi Sargent in Los Angeles' 37-7 win. Given that the Rams controlled the game from start to finish and Michel performed well in the lead role (129 total yards and a touchdown on 27 touches), Henderson was able to get some much-needed maintenance for the thigh injury he picked up in a Week 12 loss to Green Bay. Assuming he's able to maintain limited activity the next two days or upgrade to full participation, Henderson should have a more realistic chance at playing Monday in Arizona, though he could be moved into more of a timeshare with Michel.

LA Rams finally show adaptability in skid-snapping victory

Active but doesn't play Sunday Henderson (thigh) didn't play during Sunday's 37-7 win against the Jaguars.
Impact Afterward, coach Sean McVay noted Henderson was available to the Rams offense, if needed, but game flow ultimately kept him on the sideline. It's no surprise as the game quickly turned into a blowout after halftime with Sony Michel running effectively in Henderson's place. Michel ended the contest with 24 carries for 121 yards and one touchdown and also gathered in three of four targets for eight yards. As the Rams prepare for a key divisional matchup with the Cardinals on Monday Night Football in Week 14, it'll be interesting to see whether Henderson can log more than the one limited session that he managed Friday on his injured thigh.

Available Sunday Henderson (thigh) is listed as active Sunday against the Jaguars, Jourdan Rodrigue of The Athletic reports.
Impact Henderson suffered a thigh injury during last Sunday's loss at Green Bay and didn't get back on the practice field until Friday. With just one capped session under his belt, he entered the weekend as questionable, and Jay Glazer of Fox Sports reported earlier Sunday that Henderson would be available but not likely to be the Rams' No. 1 running back Week 13. L.A. thus appears poised to rely on Sony Michel and, to a lesser extent, Mekhi Sargent out of the backfield Sunday, while Henderson is available in some capacity.

Impact This makes the pregame warmups 90 minutes before the game all that much more important. This situation remains as clear as mud. Sony Michel will likely get more work than usual, and Henderson might just be available on an emergency basis.

Impact Even if Henderson does suit up, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network suggests that Los Angeles' top back may not have a full workload in the contest. If that's the case, Sony Michel could be in store for a sizable workload on the ground, particularly if the Rams are able to establish an early lead against the 2-9 Jaguars. Official confirmation of Henderson's Week 13 status will arrive when the Rams declare their inactives 90 minutes prior to kickoff.

Impact Rams head coach Sean McVay already revealed that Henderson and Odell Beckham (hip) will be game-time decisions ahead of Sunday's 4:05 p.m. ET kickoff, but only Beckham was deemed as expected to play. If Henderson is made inactive, Sony Michel could be tasked with a three-down role, much like he handled Week 3 (74 percent snap share, 20 carries, four targets), when Henderson missed a win over Tampa Bay due to a rib injury. With depth back and special teamer Buddy Howell (thigh) already ruled out for Sunday's game, the Rams may promote Javian Hawkins and/or Mekhi Sargent from the practice squad before Sunday even if they anticipate Henderson playing.

Questionable for Sunday Coach Sean McVay said Henderson (thigh) will be listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Jaguars, Jourdan Rodrigue of The Athletic reports.
Impact The same goes for WR Odell Beckham (thigh), though in his case McVay said he'd be surprised if the wideout didn't play, while a similar comment regarding Henderson was noticeably absent. The Rams' starting back thus appears truly questionable, with Sony Michel set to fill in and likely handle a large workload if Henderson lands on the inactive list before Sunday's 4:05 ET kickoff.

Logs no practice reps Thursday Henderson (thigh) was a non-participant at Thursday's practice, Lindsey Thiry of ESPN.com reports.
Impact Henderson has yet to get on the practice field this week due to the thigh injury that he suffered in this past Sunday's loss in Green Bay. He does have one more session to prove his health before the Rams post their final Week 13 practice report. If he's limited or sidelined Sunday against the Jaguars, Sony Michel is the next man up in L.A.'s backfield.

Tending to thigh issue Henderson didn't take part in Wednesday's walkthrough due to a thigh injury, Lindsey Thiry of ESPN.com reports.
Impact Per Jourdan Rodrigue of The Athletic, coach Sean McVay relayed Monday that Henderson came out of the Rams' Week 12 loss at Green Bay with a quad issue, but it since has been reclassified to be to his thigh. The injury isn't expected to be a long-term concern, but it remains to be seen if Henderson will be able to join his teammates on the practice field Thursday and/or Friday. Sony Michel would be the primary beneficiary if Henderson is limited or out come game day.

Picks up quad injury Henderson emerged from Sunday's loss in Green Bay with a quadriceps injury, Jourdan Rodrigue of The Athletic reports.
Impact Coach Sean McVay relayed Monday that Henderson could be "limited" in practice this week due to the health concern, but it shouldn't be a long-term issue. While Henderson was seen donning a wrap on his quad Sunday, he paced the Rams backfield with 20 touches for 73 yards from scrimmage and one TD on an 81 percent share of the offensive snaps. Elsewhere at running back, Sony Michel handled the other 19 percent but logged just four touches for 25 total yards.

Finds end zone Henderson recorded 16 carries for 55 yards in Sunday's 36-28 loss to the Packers. He added four receptions for 18 yards and a touchdown.
Impact Henderson rebounded from a volume perspective after seeing only five carries in the team's Week 10 loss to earn at least 20 touches in a game for the third time on the campaign. He wasn't all that efficient on the ground, as he averaged only 3.4 yards per carry and his longest rush went for only seven yards. However, Henderson did produce well as a receiver, as he found the end zone on a six-yard reception late in the second quarter and recorded four catches for the second consecutive game. Most importantly, Henderson continued to serve as the Rams' clear lead back heading into a Week 13 matchup against the Jaguars.
