Rams to lean on Royce Freeman, Darrell Henderson vs. Steelers

Freeman is likely to start, but the workload could change depending on the Steelers' defensive alignment. The performance of Freeman and Henderson in this game will determine their roles in the upcoming weeks, as Williams is out until Week 12.
