THOUSAND OAKS, Calif. (AP) — Sean McVay has been as cautious as any NFL coach when making sure players are healthy for the regular season. But the Los Angeles Rams had running back Darrell Henderson Jr. back participating on a limited basis one day after spraining his thumb. While the third-year tailback Henderson was integrated into team drills despite having his left thumb in a cast, more experienced players such as wide receiver DeSean Jackson were used sparingly with an eye toward Week 1 against the Chicago Bears.
