Cam Akers started. Malcolm Brown and Darrell Henderson Jr. provided middle relief. And Henderson stayed in as the closer.
The Los Angeles Rams entered the 2020 season with a plan to utilize a running back by committee approach, but in Sunday's 37-19 victory over the Philadelphia Eagles, the plan came about as much by necessity as it was out of choice.
Akers, the rookie second-round pick from Florida State, suffered a rib injury on the opening drive and did not return. Brown and Henderson took over, but midway through the fourth quarter, Brown exited because of a finger injury and did not return, leaving Henderson as the only available back.
