Ernest Jones and Darrell Henderson Jr. nearing return, could start practicing this week

The Los Angeles Rams are going to need all hands on deck to defeat Tom Brady and the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in Sunday’s divisional round matchup. Andrew Whitworth, Ben Skowronek, Brandon Powell, and David Long Jr. were all players that came away with injuries in Monday’s win over the Arizona Cardinals.

Barring the results of Whitworth’s MRI, all of them are expected to be active on Sunday versus the Buccaneers. As for guys like Ernest Jones and Darrell Henderson Jr., Sean McVay believes both of them are nearing a return for the Rams.

“Yeah, that is a possibility. Both, he and Darrell Henderson are potential guys that could return, or that we could start their clocks – whether that means they’re actually available this week or not is to be determined, but both of those guys are kind of in the same boat,” McVay said. “Ernest might be a little bit further ahead of Darrell, so that is a good thing on both of those guys.”
