THOUSAND OAKS, Calif. (AP) — The Los Angeles Rams are running low on healthy running backs before the regular season has started.

Henderson left practice with a thumb injury that turned out to be a sprain. Henderson seems likely to be ready for the season opener, when he will be the Rams’ presumptive starter largely because he’s the only running back left on the roster who has carried the ball in an NFL game.
