The starting job is Michel’s to lose moving forward. Henderson was healthy and available for the Rams Tuesday against the Seahawks, and the running back received only 8 touches for 27 yards (3.4 average).

Reeder does still have a role on the Rams defense as a run-stopping linebacker, and he will be an important player against teams like the 49ers. The fallout in the weeks that followed resulted in rookie Ernest Jones taking over as the primary inside linebacker for LA’s defense, and Jones has been relatively effective in recent outings. In LA’s most recent loss, Week 12 against the Packers, Aaron Rodgers sought out coverage mismatches against the Rams’ linebackers - and Troy Reeder had a rough outing in an important NFC matchup.
