Well that’s a surprise. The Los Angeles Rams cut running back Darrell Henderson on Tuesday, fresh off of their loss to the New Orleans Saints. He only saw two carries (gaining 9 yards) in Week 11’s game at the Caesars Superdome, though Rams head coach Sean McVay noted after the game that his health played a part — sharing that Henderson “felt a little something in his knee” early on Sunday afternoon. So he may be going on injured reserve.
The Rams running game gave the Saints fits no matter who was back there last week. Their 148 rushing yards were a season-high, led by backup running backs Cam Akers (61 yards) and Kyren Williams (36), with third-string quarterback Bryce Perkins (39) having some success after he finished out the second half. New Orleans rallied to finish the game strong, though, limiting L.A.’s ground game to just 19 yards in the fourth quarter. Perkins was sacked three times, losing 26 yards in that final frame.
