Rams bring back RB Darrell Henderson Jr., sign him to practice squad

The Los Angeles Rams were in need of running back help with Kyren Williams and Ronnie Rivers both injured, and they found some on Tuesday. The Rams announced they have signed Darrell Henderson Jr. to the practice squad, reuniting with the veteran who they cut last season.

Additionally, the Rams signed Royce Freeman to the active roster, so he will help fill the void of Williams and Rivers this week.

It’s unclear exactly what the plan with Henderson is, but he’ll provide some additional depth behind rookie Zach Evans, who is the presumed starter, and Freeman. Williams is expected to miss at least one week, while Rivers could be out 4-5 weeks with a PCL injury.

Henderson was drafted by the Rams in the third round in 2019, spending three-plus years in Los Angeles. He rushed for 1,742 yards and 13 touchdowns during his tenure, averaging 4.4 yards per carry.

After being cut by the Rams last November, Henderson was claimed off waivers by the Jaguars but he only lasted a couple of weeks in Jacksonville before being cut. He hasn’t played a game since last November and wasn’t on a roster this offseason.
