HENDERSON RE-SIGNED ON NOV 22 Darrell Henderson has been reinstated to the Los Angeles Rams practice squad, only one day after being released.
The Rams confirmed Henderson’s signing on Wednesday via the team’s official Twitter account, just hours after designating fellow running back Kyren Williams for return from injured reserve.
HENDERSON CUT ON NOV 21 The Los Angeles Rams have released running back Darrell Henderson Jr., making room on the 53-man roster for Kyren Williams’ return from injured reserve.
Henderson was brought back to L.A. for his second stint with the team after Williams went down with an ankle injury in the Week 6 win over the Arizona Cardinals. The 26-year-old played in four games for the Rams before being cut, totaling 112 yards rushing and two touchdowns on 46 carries, as the Rams paired him with Royce Freeman to help fill the void of Williams.
However, following the breakout of Freeman in Sunday’s 17-16 win over the Seattle Seahawks, where he rushed for 73 yards on 17 carries, Henderson was the odd man out for the Rams as they hope Williams will pick up where he left off prior to injury.
NOV 19 GENO OUT Seattle Seahawks quarterback Geno Smith has been knocked out of the game vs. the Los Angeles Rams after being hit in the backfield by defensive tackle Aaron Donald.
Smith landed hard on his arm on the play and was taken into the blue medical tent for further evaluation with what appeared to be an upper-body injury on his throwing arm.
Smith has been replaced in the lineup by Drew Lock and is currently questionable to return. At the time of the injury, Smith had completed 19 of 29 passes for 197 yards and a touchdown.
Smith is currently questionable to return with what has been announced as an elbow injury.
NOV 14 NEW HOME The Rams are continuing to make Los Angeles their home despite having been back in the city since 2016. The Rams announced on Tuesday during a celebration at the Topanga Village that they will be moving to their new practice facility for the 2024 season, which will be located at the corner of West Oxnard Street and Canoga Avenue in Woodland Hills.
“This is a monumental day for the Los Angeles Rams as we can now call Woodland Hills and the City of Los Angeles our home, …” Rams CEO Kevin Demoff said. “Since bringing the Rams home to Los Angeles, Stan Kroenke’s commitment to this region is unmatched, and we are excited to expand our footprint and deepen our impact across the city.”
The announcement comes after Rams owner Stan Kroenke acquired nearly 100 acres of land in the Woodland Hills area a year ago.
NOV 13 SEAHAWKS FAVORED The Seattle Seahawks are coming off of a win on Sunday vs. the Washington Commanders, moving to 6-3 on the season, and in a tie on top of the NFC West.
Meanwhile, the Los Angeles Rams are coming off a bye week after dropping their third straight game in a loss to the Green Bay Packers.
Now, Henderson has been promoted to the active roster and could see action on Sunday against the Pittsburgh Steelers, Sean McVay said Friday.
Rookie Zach Evans was expected to see the majority of carries heading into the week but with Henderson familiar with the offense, that could change.
I liked what I saw from all four (running backs),” Sean McVay. “Darrell (Henderson) came back in. He’s a guy that’s going to be up and active this week. He’s done a great job of being able to quickly re-acclimate himself back to a lot of the things that we’ve done. He is taken good care of himself.”
