Henderson rushed the ball 18 times for 61 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 24-17 loss to the Steelers. He added one reception for five yards.

EDGE Analysis

Henderson was the first back to get a carry in the Rams' backfield, and he led Royce Freeman in touches 19-12. His longest gain of the day went for 15 yards, and he also found the end zone midway through the fourth quarter on a one-yard plunge. With both Kyren Williams (ankle) and Ronnie Rivers (knee) on injured reserve, Henderson should have the chance to maintain significant volume for at least the next three games.

Henderson and Royce Freeman are expected to get "the majority of the workload" out of the backfield in Sunday's game against the Steelers, a source tells Adam Schefter of ESPN.

EDGE Analysis

With lead back Kyren Williams (ankle) and top backup Ronnie Rivers (knee) both landing on injured reserve in recent days, the Rams backfield has taken on new form heading into Week 7. Rookie sixth-round pick Zach Evans is the lone healthy back who was active for last week's win over the Cardinals, but he looks like he'll have to settle for the No. 3 role Sunday after the Rams signed Freeman and Myles Gaskin to the 53-man roster and elevated Henderson from the practice squad. Gaskin is expected to be inactive Sunday but could have a role beginning in Week 8 once he gets a chance to pick up the offense, while Henderson won't have much of a learning curve after having previously played 50 games for the Rams under head coach Sean McVay over the last four seasons. Schefter reports that Freeman is the Rams' likely starter Sunday, but how the Steelers line up could change the team's plans. Additionally, McVay could take a hot-hand approach to the backfield, so if Henderson is able to capitalize on his early opportunities, he could end up outpacing both Freeman and Evans in snaps and touches. While the uncertainty of how the reps will break down Sunday makes Henderson a risky lineup option for Week 7 even in deeper leagues, he may be worthy of a speculative pickup in the event he establishes himself as the Rams' top back heading into Week 8.

The Rams elevated Henderson from their practice squad Saturday ahead of Sunday's game against the Steelers.

EDGE Analysis

Henderson's elevation becomes all the more vital for fantasy managers after Kyren Williams (ankle) was placed on injured reserve Saturday. Since Henderson rejoined the Rams on Tuesday after previously spending parts of the past four seasons with the franchise, head coach Sean McVay has given the running back plenty of praise. In light of injuries to Williams and Ronnie Rivers (knee), Henderson's familiarity with McVay's system could allow him to earn playing time in a crowded group of backs that includes unproven rookie sixth-round pick Zach Evans along with veterans Royce Freeman and Myles Gaskin. At the very least, Henderson's elevation from the practice squad signals that he'll likely have a role Sunday.

Coach Sean McVay said Friday that Henderson will be active for Sunday's game against the Steelers, Adam Grosbard of the Orange County Register reports.

EDGE Analysis

Henderson signed with the Rams' practice squad Tuesday following injuries to Kyren Williams (ankle) and Ronnie Rivers (knee). McVay said the team still is deciding whether to dress only three or all four of Henderson, Zach Evans, Royce Freeman and Myles Gaskin, but Henderson will be among the team's active running backs. Confirmation of Henderson's availability will be provided when the Rams either elevate him from the practice squad or sign him to the roster by Saturday afternoon.

The Rams signed Henderson to their practice squad Tuesday.

EDGE Analysis

With the Rams having traded Cam Akers to the Vikings earlier this season and the top two options on the backfield depth chart -- Kyren Williams (ankle) and Ronnie Rivers (knee) -- both looking unlikely to be available Week 7 versus the Steelers, the team will bring back a familiar face in Henderson. Before being waived last November, Henderson spent four seasons with the Rams, appearing in 50 regular-season games and scoring 17 touchdowns while averaging 4.4 yards on 396 carries and 7.2 yards on 66 catches. Though Henderson won't be added to the 53-man roster immediately, his familiarity with head coach Sean McVay's playbook will make him a candidate for an elevation ahead of Sunday's game once he gets a week of practice under his belt. The Rams currently have rookie sixth-round pick Zach Evans and Royce Freeman as their lone healthy running backs on the roster.

The Colts worked out Henderson on Tuesday, Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston reports.

EDGE Analysis

It's an interesting development with Jonathan Taylor (ankle), Zack Moss (forearm) and Evan Hull (knee) all dealing with injuries. Henderson has managed a respectable 4.4 yards per carry in his career, so it would be understandable if Indianapolis viewed him as a worthwhile addition.

Henderson worked out for the Patriots on Wednesday, Tom Pelissero of NFL Network reports.

EDGE Analysis

The Patriots also worked out Leonard Fournette, who offers a much different set of skills in the backfield. Henderson is small and quick, but he caught only 66 passes in four seasons with the Rams and was instead much more involved as a runner (396 carries for 1,742 yards and 13 touchdowns). The Rams waived him last November and the Jaguars waived him less than three weeks later, so Henderson isn't likely to get much guaranteed money even if he signs with an back-needy team before his 26th birthday in mid-August.

Henderson made a visit with the Cardinals on Tuesday, Field Yates of ESPN reports.

EDGE Analysis

Henderson is in search of his third team of the season, after having now been cut by both the Rams and the Jaguars. He could be a decent fit in Arizona, given the team's lack of established depth behind top back James Conner, who has handled offensive snap shares north of 90 percent in four of the past five games and could be in line for more rest over the final three weeks of the season now that the Cardinals have been eliminated from playoff contention. If Henderson lands with the Cardinals, he would be vying with rookie Keaontay Ingram and veteran Corey Clement for work behind Conner.

The Jaguars waived Henderson on Friday.

EDGE Analysis

Jacksonville scooped Henderson off the waiver wire after the Rams cut him in November, but he ultimately didn't play a single snap during his tenure with the Jaguars. The rest of the league will now have an opportunity to get a look at the 25-year-old running back over the final quarter of the season.

Henderson (illness) isn't listed Wednesday on the Jaguars' first Week 14 injury report.

EDGE Analysis

Henderson was inactive for this past Sunday's loss to the Lions, but he's now past the illness that had him listed as questionable ahead of the Week 13 contest. The running back is thus on track to make his Jaguars debut this weekend against the Titans, though it's unclear if Henderson will immediately unseat JaMycal Hasty for the top backup role behind lead option Travis Etienne.
