Darrell Henderson Jr. hasn’t been the most durable running back since coming into the NFL in 2019, and he was banged up once again on Sunday against the Colts. At the start of the fourth quarter, Henderson suffered a rib injury on a carry to the right side, landing awkwardly.
He was taken to the locker room shortly after, where he was evaluated. The Rams deemed him questionable to return with a rib injury, and he was replaced by a combination of Sony Michel and Jake Funk.
