Rams Sign Darrell Henderson, Add Royce Freeman To Active Roster

one year ago

In the wake of injuries to Los Angeles Rams running backs Kyren Williams (ankle) and Ronnie Rivers (knee), the Rams signed free-agent running back Darrell Henderson to their practice squad on Tuesday and elevated Royce Freeman to the active 53-man roster from the practice squad. Henderson, 26, spent the last four years with the Rams but was waived last November after carrying the ball 70 times for 283 yards and three touchdowns in 10 games (sevens starts). It remains to be seen where Henderson is at physically, but his familiarity with the Rams offense makes him a candidate to contribute sooner than later for however long Williams and Rivers are out. Rookie Zach Evans and Freeman should split backfield duties in Week 7 against the Pittsburgh Steelers if Williams can't play and Henderson needs more time to get up to speed.
