Just five carries Monday Henderson rushed five times for 31 yards and caught four of six targets for 10 yards in Monday night's 31-10 loss to the 49ers.
Impact Henderson fell victim to the flow of Monday game, which saw the Rams trailing with their offense on the sideline for the majority of the contest. However, he also was examined for a concussion during the second half, but fortunately was able to return. Although backup Sony Michel wasn't very productive either, managing just six touches for 31 yards, Henderson still now enters Los Angeles' bye week coming off his worst output of the season. The tailback will strive to make a larger impact while hoping for more opportunities in Week 12 versus the Packers.

Back in Monday's game Henderson returned to Monday's game in San Francisco after a concussion evaluation, Jourdan Rodrigue of The Athletic reports.
Impact Henderson missed the bulk of back-to-back possessions for the Rams but got back on the field for the team's fourth drive. He'll continue to operate as L.A.'s lead runner out of the backfield, with Sony Michel and Buddy Howell the other options in reserve.

Evaluated for concussion Henderson is under evaluation for a concussion during Monday's game at San Francisco.
Impact Prior to this announcement from the Rams, Henderson's last touch occurred on a six-yard catch on the same play in which unnecessary roughness was called on the team's starting left tackle Andrew Whitworth. If Henderson ultimately is diagnosed with a concussion, he'll end Week 10 with two touches for 16 yards from scrimmage. Sony Michel and Buddy Howell are the other healthy running backs on L.A.'s active roster.

Leaves game briefly Henderson (ankle) rushed 11 times for 55 yards and had three receptions for three yards in Sunday's 28-16 loss to the Titans.
Impact Henderson was sidelined with an ankle injury in the second quarter, but he returned to action later in the period and appeared to finish the contest without any setbacks. The Rams had to abandon the run after starting the second half down three scores in what turned out to be a pseudo upset. Assuming his ankle holds up during practice this week, Henderson will get a tasty matchup against the 49ers next Monday.

Back in action against Titans Henderson (ankle) returned to Sunday's game against the Titans.
Impact Henderson's absence didn't last long, as he was announced as questionable to return in the second quarter and returned later that quarter. It remains to be seen whether the injury will impact his workload or effectiveness moving forward, but Henderson's fantasy managers can breathe a sigh of relief.

Scores two touchdowns Henderson ran for 90 yards and one touchdown on 14 carries against Houston on Sunday, adding a three-yard touchdown reception on two targets.
Impact Henderson had an uncharacteristically inefficient game against the Lions in Week 7, so there was reason to believe Henderson would bounce back against the Texans on Sunday. He did just that, and he's quietly putting together a strong season as the Rams' clear RB1. Through seven active games Henderson is up to 648 yards and seven touchdowns from scrimmage -- a standard he should continue to uphold if Matthew Stafford continues to direct a much-improved Rams passing game. He carries another favorable projection as the Rams take on the Titans in Week 9.

Inefficient on big workload Henderson ran for 45 yards on 15 carries and caught three receptions for 19 yards on six targets against Detroit on Sunday.
Impact The Lions seemed to play the run tough Sunday -- backup Sony Michel produced just four yards on two carries himself -- and Henderson's pass-catching returns were bad relative to the volume, too. Henderson has been steady if not explosive in his other 2021 games, so it's reasonable to expect a bounce back against Houston in Week 8, but it would still be reassuring to see him do more with his targets going forward. Luckily for Henderson, the Rams have no real alternatives. He seems to be good enough for them, but even if he isn't they might need to ride with him anyway.

Scores through ground and air Henderson rushed 21 times for 78 yards and a touchdown and brought in two of three targets for 29 yards and another score in the Rams' 38-11 win over the Giants on Sunday.
Impact The third-year back once again served as the clear lead back while outpacing Sony Michel by 12 carries. Henderson crossed the goal line from two and 23 yards out on the ground and through the air, respectively, on back-to-back drives late in the first half. The 24-year-old's receiving score was his first of the season, and he's now found the end zone as a rusher on four occasions over his first five games. Henderson will look to exploit another favorable matchup when the Rams host the winless Lions in Week 7.
