The Los Angeles Rams could get back two key players for Super Bowl LVI against the Cincinnati Bengals on Sunday. Sebastian Joseph-Day and Darrell Henderson Jr. have both been on injured reserve and though they’ve been practicing after being designated to return, they haven’t yet been activated.
That could happen before Sunday’s game. Sean McVay told reporters during his media availability on Monday that it’s “looking optimistic” for Joseph-Day and Henderson in their return from injuries. He didn’t commit to them playing against the Bengals, but this continues the positive trend surrounding these two players.

Joseph-Day would complement Aaron Donald, A’Shawn Robinson and Greg Gaines up front, helping solidify an already-stout defensive line against the Bengals. Joseph-Day has been recovering from a pectoral injury, missing the final 10 games of the regular season and the Rams’ first three playoff games.
The Rams have Cam Akers and Sony Michel already at running back, but Henderson would give them another piece in the backfield – one who’s a solid receiver, too.
