It’s been a training camp of opportunity for rookies Cam Akers and Xavier Jones with Darrell Henderson missing two weeks of practice with a hamstring injury, but things are trending in the “optimistic” direction for Henderson and head coach Sean McVay told reporters that “we think he’s going to be able to play.”
That would mean that Akers, Henderson and Malcolm Brown are in line to split snaps in the backfield, though perhaps not evenly. It could also keep Jones and the recently-added Raymond Calais on the inactive list against the Dallas Cowboys on Sunday depending on the degree to which they’ve played on special teams; Calais could be on the roster only temporarily.
