Rams' Buddy Howell: Returns for full practice
Howell (hamstring) was a full practice participant Thursday, Jourdan Rodrigue of The Athletic reports.
Howell was inactive for Sunday's divisional-round win over the Buccaneers due to a hamstring injury. However, he managed a limited practice Wednesday, before upgrading to a full session Thursday. That should put him in line to return to his role on special teams in Sunday's NFC Championship Game against San Francisco.

Rams' Buddy Howell: Misses practice Friday
Howell (hamstring) did not practice Friday and is considered questionable for Monday against the Cardinals, Cameron DaSilva of Rams Wire reports.
Howell's inability to practice yet this week is not a good sign for his availability in the wild-card round. However, with the Rams not playing until Monday, he does have an extra day to heal. Howell hasn't played an offensive snap since Week 8 against the Titans, so a potential absence would only impact the Rams' special-teams unit.

Rams' Buddy Howell: Comes off injured reserve
The Rams activated Howell (thigh) from injured reserve Saturday.
Sony Michel and Darrell Henderson should handle the majority of the backfield reps Sunday at Minnesota, leaving Jake Funk and Howell as the reserve options after completing their respective stints on IR this week. Meanwhile, L.A. also activated Cam Akers (Achilles) from the reserve/non-football injury list Saturday, but he won't make his season debut just yet. Whenever Akers receives clearance to play -- whether it's Week 17 or 18 or in the postseason -- Howell will fall further down the depth chart.

Rams' Buddy Howell: Designated for return from IR
Howell (thigh) was designated to return from injured reserve Friday.
Howell doesn't figure to factor into the mix on offense much, owning just five carries for 11 yards all season, but he does contribute on special teams for the Rams. With Howell's 21-day window now open, he could be back in action before the regular season concludes.

Rams' Buddy Howell: Heading to IR
Howell (thigh) was placed on injured reserve Friday, Aaron Wilson of Sportstalk 790 Houston reports.
The running back will miss at least three weeks before he can be activated, though he is expected to return after the minimum stay on IR. With Darrell Henderson (thigh) questionable to play in Week 13 against the Jaguars, Howell's absence could leave Sony Michel as the Rams' only healthy option in the backfield for the contest. They would likely elevate someone from the practice squad if Henderson were to be out.

Rams' Buddy Howell: Handles first carries of campaign
Howell rushed five times for 11 yards on Los Angeles' final two possession during Sunday's 38-22 win over Houston
The first-year Ram has suited up for three games this season, but Sunday was the first time he played an offensive snap. Howell is firmly No. 3 on the running back depth chart, at best, and unlikely to receive meaningful fantasy opportunities moving forward barring an injury to Darrell Henderson and/or Sony Michel.
