Remember, the goal is going to be to maximize Darrell Henderson’s availability, and his ability.

Related players: Xavier Jones, Jake Funk

The story went on to say it will be a "likely fluid, likely situational snap count" in which he’ll be complemented by Jones and Funk. Henderson has continued to look good in camp but so have the other backs. It sounds like the Rams want to do their best to keep Henderson healthy for the long haul. Jones seems like he'll be a solid handcuff for Henderson owners.

Darrell Henderson Jr. is penciled in as the Rams’ starting running back after Cam Akers tore his Achilles before training camp. That much we know.

What isn’t as clear is who will back up Henderson.

The Rams have Xavier Jones, Jake Funk, Raymond Calais and Otis Anderson on the 90-man roster right now, but they’ve combined to play zero offensive snaps in their NFL careers. So needless to say, there isn’t much experience at running back behind Henderson.

The story said Jones is the favorite to back him up after sticking with the Rams last season as an undrafted rookie. He’s getting more work in camp this year due to Akers’ absence and though it’s early, Sean McVay is encouraged by what he’s seen from Jones, as well as the Rams’ other backup running backs.
