The Rams only have two notable players nursing injuries at this point in camp, but both Taylor Rapp and Darrell Henderson Jr. have been making good progress in their rehab. Rapp was on the field to start practice Thursday, which is another positive step for the second-year safety after he was in pads doing sprints on the sideline yesterday.
Henderson hasn’t quite made it back on the field yet as he recovers from a hamstring strain, but he was once again doing rehab work with trainers off to the side. McVay said initially after Henderson suffered the injury in Saturday’s scrimmage that the goal is for him to be ready for Week 1.
There have been no indications of Henderson suffering a setback or falling off schedule for Sept. 13, which is a good sign.
#Rams safety Taylor Rapp is on the field for the early parts of practice. He'd been out of practice the past week with what Sean McVay called a "little" knee injury. Running back Darrell Henderson (hamstring) was rehabbing on the sideline.

It’s unclear if Rapp participated in the entire practice or just the early portion of it, but either way, it’s a step in the right direction. McVay has said there is nothing that should keep Rapp out of the lineup when the Rams play the Cowboys.
As for other updates from Thursday’s practice, Jalen Ramsey and Andrew Whitworth both got the day off for rest. Aaron Donald was back after getting a veteran’s day on Wednesday.
Jalen Ramsey and Andrew Whitworth did not practice because they were given a vets day off, McVay said.
