Darrell Henderson Jr. - 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.

Cam Akers - May make season debut Sunday Coach Sean McVay said Monday that Akers (Achilles) has a chance to return to action Sunday in Baltimore, J.B. Long of the Los Angeles Rams Radio Network reports.
Impact The Rams sustained yet another hit to their backfield Sunday in Minnesota, where Darrell Henderson went down with a knee injury and was unable to return. McVay relayed Henderson suffered a sprained MCL in his right knee and is poised for a stint on injured reserve, which may have precipitated his ensuing comments about Akers. The second-year running back has made an unprecedented recovery from the torn Achilles he sustained just before training camp back in July, as evidenced by L.A. activating him from the reserve/non-football injury list Saturday. Akers was held out of Week 15 action, but his activity in practice this week could set him up for his season debut Sunday. With all of Henderson, Xavier Jones (Achilles) and Raymond Calais (foot) on IR, Sony Michel, Jake Funk and Buddy Howell are the healthy RBs on the team's active roster.
