The Raiders Have Given Meticulous Fernando Mendoza The Keys. What Should We Expect?

Lands on IR Whittington (back) was placed on injured reserve Tuesday.

Impact This is another blow to the Rams' receiving corps, as Davante Adams (hamstring) is still on IR and Puka Nacua (knee/toe) is slated to miss several weeks. Whittington would have had a chance to carve out a major role in Los Angeles' wideout room, but instead he'll be sidelined until at least Dec. 20. The Rams signed Xavier Smith off San Francisco's practice squad Tuesday to take Whittington's place on the 53-man roster and in the WR corps.

Could require IR stint Rams head coach Sean McVay said Monday during his appearance on the "Coach McVay Show" that Whittington is a candidate for injured reserve due to a lingering back issue.

Impact After a quadriceps injury kept him sidelined for a Week 2 win over the Giants, Whittington has suited up for each of the Rams' last seven games, but he's been listed as questionable with the back concern ahead of the previous two contests. Despite the Rams having a need for help at receiver with Davante Adams (hamstring) on IR, Whittington has been limited to just eight total offensive snaps between those two games, with the back injury perhaps contributing to his sparse playing time. With McVay noting Monday that Puka Nacua (knee) is likely bound for IR, the Rams would be left with Tutu Atwell, Konata Mumpfield and CJ Daniels as their available receivers if Whittington is also deactivated.

Active for Week 9 Whittington (back) is active for Sunday's game against the Commanders.

Impact Whittington was a limited participant throughout Week 9 prep as he dealt with a back injury. The kick returner and No. 4 wide receiver for the Rams is all set to suit up for Sunday's game as he looks to play through the issue.

Deemed questionable for Week 9 Whittington (back) is questionable for Sunday's matchup against Washington, Sarah Barshop of ESPN.com reports.

Impact Whittington logged a trio of limited practices this week while managing a back injury. It might not be known if he'll be able to play Sunday until inactives are announced approximately 90 minutes ahead of the start of the game. Whittington has just two catches through seven games this season, but he also returns kicks and could work his way up to more responsibilities on offense with Davante Adams (hamstring) on IR.

Limited practice Wednesday Whittington (back) was a limited participant at the Rams' practice Wednesday, Sarah Barshop of ESPN.com reports.

Impact Whittington was questionable to play in Week 8 versus the Chargers due to a back injury, but he was able to give it a go, failing to catch his only target while securing one tackle on special teams in the contest. The wide receiver will have two more chances to log a full practice before Sunday's contest against the Commanders.

Rams CB Jaylen Watson is out for season after shoulder surgery. Myles Garrett returns to practice

Rams starting cornerback Jaylen Watson will miss the rest of the season after undergoing surgery on his injured shoulder, coach Sean McVay says

NOVEMBER 4 • Associated Press

Uneventful day in win Whittington did not catch his sole target and logged one tackle on kick coverage during the Rams' 24-9 win over the Chargers on Sunday.

Impact Whittington played just four offensive snaps while logging 18 special-teams snaps in Sunday's contest. The wide receiver was able to overcome a back injury to play in the game, but the No. 4 option was overshadowed by the Rams' 13-personnel packages favoring tight ends.

NOVEMBER 3 • ROTOWIRE

Chance to play against Bolts Whittington (back) is questionable for Sunday's game against the Chargers, Nate Atkins of The Athletic reports.

Impact Whittington is working through a back issue that flared up during Thursday's practice, and he was held out of Friday's session as a precaution, per Adam Caplan of SiriusXM NFL Radio. If he's unable to play Sunday, then Konata Mumpfield, Tutu Atwell and CJ Daniels would all be in line for more offensive snaps. Despite the absence of Davante Adams (hamstring, IR), Whittington was not targeted once during the Rams' Week 7 win over the Raiders.

Rams hopeful CB Trent McDuffie might return vs. Chargers but could be without key offensive players

The injury-ravaged Rams could get cornerback Trent McDuffie back for their home game against the Chargers on Sunday but might be without several key offensive players

OCTOBER 30 • Associated Press

No targets against Las Vegas Whittington wasn't targeted in Sunday's 35-21 win over the Raiders.

Impact Even with Davante Adams (hamstring) inactive, Whittington played just 15 of 72 offensive snaps and ran only two routes on Matthew Stafford's 32 dropbacks. He's nothing more than a special-teamer and blocker when he does play offensive snaps. Whittington is lightyears from fantasy relevance.

OCTOBER 26 • Associated Press

Larger role on tap for Week 7 Whittington could operate in an expanded role offensively if Puka Nacua (calf, questionable) cannot play against the Raiders on Sunday.

Impact Davante Adams (hamstring) is on injured reserve, so quarterback Matthew Stafford would be without his top targets in the passing game if Nacua is also ruled out. In that event, Whittington, Konata Mumpfield and Tutu Atwell would likely operate as the top-3 wideouts for Sunday's game, with tight end Tyler Higbee also in the mix for more targets. Whittington has only three targets through five regular-season games, which he's turned into two catches for 12 yards.

SEPTEMBER 30 • Associated Press

No injury designation for Week 3 Whittington (quadriceps) does not carry an injury designation ahead of Sunday's game versus Denver, Sarah Barshop of ESPN.com reports.

Impact Whittington wasn't available for Monday's 28-6 win over the Giants. He didn't practice Wednesday to begin the week. However, head coach Sean McVay indicated the wideout would be available in Week 3, so his full participation in Friday's practice and omission from the injury report isn't a surprise. With Puka Nacua (hip) doubtful, Whittington could be in line for a more prominent role alongside Davante Adams.

SEPTEMBER 25 • ROTOWIRE

Practices Thursday Whittington (quadriceps) was a limited participant in practice Thursday, Nate Atkins of The Athletic reports.

Impact Whittington sustained the quad injury in Week 1 against the 49ers and hadn't practiced since that game before Thursday. Now, he's trending in the right direction as Sunday night's showdown with Denver approaches. Whittington caught one pass for eight yards on the 25 offensive snaps he played in the Rams' season opener.

SEPTEMBER 25 • ROTOWIRE

Doesn't practice Wednesday Whittington (quadriceps) did not participate in Wednesday's practice, Nate Atkins of The Athletic reports.

Impact Whittington has failed to practice since sustaining a quadriceps injury during the Rams' Week 1 loss to the 49ers. The wide receiver has missed four consecutive practices and appears no closer to suiting up for the team's Week 3 showdown with the Broncos on Sunday.

SEPTEMBER 23 • Associated Press

Inactive for Week 2 Whittington (quadriceps) is inactive for Monday's game against the Rams.

Impact Whittington drew the doubtful tag for MNF after missing practice all week due to a quad injury he sustained in the Rams' Week 1 loss to the 49ers. He'll join fellow wide receiver Puka Nacua (groin) in street clothes, and the duo will aim to be available for Week 3 against the Broncos on Sept. 27. The Rams will have four active wide receivers in Davante Adams, Konata Mumpfield, Xavier Smith and Tutu Atwell for Monday's game.
