Impact Whittington sat out the Wild Card Round due to a knee injury he suffered in Week 18 versus the Cardinals, but it now appears he'll be ready to go for the Divisional Round against the Bears. However, as long as first-team All Pro Puka Nacua and veteran Davante Adams are available, there probably won't be room for the Rams' other receivers to draw many targets.

Kevin Dotson, Terrance Ferguson and Jordan Whittington among Rams' inactives for Wild Card round at Panthers Inactives for Saturday's Wild Card round playoff game between the Rams and the Panthers at Bank of America Stadium.

JANUARY 10 • THERAMS.COM

Missing wild-card round Whittington (knee) has been ruled out for Saturday's game against the Panthers in the wild-card round.

Impact Whittington was sidelined for all three of the Rams' practices leading to him being ruled out Thursday. With Davante Adams back from his hamstring injury, there likely won't be many targets to go around behind Puka Nacua and Adams, with Konata Mumpfield, Xavier Smith and Tutu Atwell left to compete for those looks among wide receivers. Blake Corum is a candidate to return kickoffs in Whittington's absence.

Still sidelined Wednesday Whittington (knee) remained sidelined at Wednesday's practice, Adam Grosbard of The Orange County Register reports.

Impact Whittington was injured in Sunday's win over the Cardinals. If he's unable to play Saturday against the Panthers, Xavier Smith and Tutu Atwell would be next up for wideout reps behind Puka Nacua and Davante Adams.

DNP at walkthrough Whittington (knee) was estimated as DNP on Tuesday's practice report, Sarah Barshop of ESPN.com reports.

Impact Los Angeles didn't actually practice Tuesday but was required to release an estimation ahead of Saturday afternoon's wild-card matchup with the Panthers. Whittington suffered a knee injury is Sunday's win over the Cardinals and underwent an MRI.

JANUARY 6 • ROTOWIRE

Undergoes MRI for knee injury Rams head coach Sean McVay said Whittington will have an MRI to determine the severity of his knee injury, Gary Klein of the Los Angeles Times reports.

Impact Whittington suffered a knee injury in the Rams' Week 18 win over the Cardinals and was unable to return. The 25-year-old's status for the team's wild-card rematch against the Panthers is unclear. Tutu Atwell and Xavier Smith will likely see more reps if Whittington is unable to return for the first-round of the playoffs.

Won't return Sunday Whittington (knee) has been ruled out for the rest of Sunday's game against the Cardinals.

Impact Whittington was taken to the locker room after injuring his right knee, and medical staff have deemed his injury severe enough for him to not return to Sunday's game. Tutu Atwell and Xavier Smith will see more snaps at wide receiver the rest of the way, but Whittington is now in jeopardy of missing the wild-card round of the NFC playoffs.

JANUARY 4 • ROTOWIRE

Leaves game due to knee injury Whittington (knee) is questionable to return to Sunday's game against the Cardinals.

Impact Per Adam Grosbard of The Orange County Register, Whittington came out of the blue medical tent with a brace on his right knee and was testing it out before eventually being taken to the locker room. Xavier Smith and Tutu Atwell would be in line for more snaps on offense if Whittington is unable to return, and in that scenario, Blake Corum would also serve as the Rams' primary returner on kickoffs.

JANUARY 4 • ROTOWIRE

Returns three kicks in defeat Whittington returned three kicks for 80 yards during Monday's 27-24 loss to the Falcons.

Impact For the third time in the last five games, Whittington failed to draw a target on offense. Konata Mumpfield and Xavier Smith have taken over as the primary backups behind Puka Nacua with Davante Adams (hamstring) still nursing an injury, and Whittington tied with Tutu Atwell with just 13 snaps on offense. It's likely that Whittington's primary role for the Rams will continue to be as a kick returner again in the Week 18 regular season finale against the Cardinals.

DECEMBER 30, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Makes single grab in defeat Whittington secured his only target for 19 yards and returned two kicks for 41 yards during Thursday's 38-37 overtime loss to the Seahawks.

Impact The absence of Davante Adams (knee/hamstring) didn't lead to an expanded role for Whittington, as he took the field for just 15 snaps on offense. His one contribution to the game was impactful, however, as his lone catch came on third down and helped push the Rams in range for a chip shot Harrison Mevis field goal. Whittington's usage has remained steady in the past four weeks, and shows no signs of moving towards fantasy relevance before the Rams take a trip to Atlanta for a Monday night showdown in Week 17.

Upgrades to estimated FP on Tuesday Whittington (back) was deemed a full participant in Tuesday's practice walkthrough, John Boyle of the Seahawks' official site reports.

Impact Whittington was estimated as limited in Monday's walkthrough, but his back injury doesn't appear to be serious. Notably, starting wideout Davante Adams (knee/hamstring) has been deemed a non-participant in both walkthroughs this week, and he's very much in danger of missing Thursday's matchup against Seattle. If Adams does sit that contest out, Whittington -- along with Konata Mumpfield, Tutu Atwell and Xavier Smith -- would be a candidate for increased offensive snaps.

DECEMBER 17, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Dealing with back issue Whittington was deemed limited for Monday's practice walkthrough due to a back injury, Adam Grosbard of The Orange County Register reports.

Impact Whittington logged a season-low four offensive snaps Sunday against Detroit, though it's unclear if that was a consequence of the back issue. He maintained his usual role as the Rams' lead kick returner, so Whittington's reduced offensive role may have simply been a result of Tutu Atwell returning from IR and Konata Mumpfield continuing to take on a larger role. Regardless, Whittington's practice participation level Tuesday and Wednesday should determine if he's at any risk of missing Thursday's big NFC West matchup against the Seahawks.

Rams' faith in their receiver depth to be tested if Adams misses short-week showdown with Seahawks

The Los Angeles Rams have largely been a two-wide-receiver team all season, so Davante Adams’ hamstring injury is likely to reveal whether Sean McVay and Matthew Stafford have anot...

DECEMBER 15, 2025 • Associated Press

Records just four snaps Whittington failed to secure his only target during Sunday's 41-34 win against the Lions.

Impact For the second time in three games, Whittington failed to make a catch, and his four snaps on offense mark a season low for the second-year pro. Konata Mumpfield's usage has increased significantly in recent weeks, leaving Whittington, Xavier Smith and a returning Tutu Atwell with just a handful of snaps to work with in recent games. Davante Adams (hamstring) is in danger of missing Thursday's divisional showdown in Seattle, but a sudden surge in usage and targets from Matthew Stafford seems unlikely given his track record so far this season.

McVay's illness didn't slow down the Rams. They got a healthy victory before bigger tests arrive

Sean McVay fell ill last Friday night, and he was forced to miss parts of the Los Angeles Rams’ final preparations while he traveled to Arizona separately from the team

DECEMBER 8, 2025 • Associated Press

Makes one small grab Whittington secured his only target for five yards during Sunday's 45-17 victory against the Cardinals.

Impact The trio of Rams' backup wideouts combined for just 16 yards on their three targets, which pales in comparison to the 17 targets that starters Puka Nacua and Davante Adams earned, which translated to 11 catches for 196 yards and a pair of Nacua touchdown catches. Matthew Stafford continues to keep his focus heavily weighted towards the duo, generally leaving little to no opportunities for the other wideouts on the team. Xavier Smith's 82-yard performance from last week now seems more like an outlier than a true breakout, leaving Whittington, Smith and Konata Mumpfield hard to trust for fantasy purposes against a Lions squad fighting for a playoff spot in Week 15.

DECEMBER 8, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Held without a catch Whittington failed to secure his only target during Sunday's 31-28 loss to the Panthers.

Impact Sunday's game against Carolina marked the third time in the last five games that Whittington was held without a catch, a concerning trend made more troubling by a three-catch, 82-yard performance by Xavier Smith. Whittington actually played the least of the Rams' backup wide receiver corps, with both Smith and Konata Mumpfield logging 20 snaps to Whittington's 18. Tutu Atwell (hamstring) is trending towards a return for the Week 14 contest against the Cardinals after logging three full practices this week as well, which would push Whittington further down the depth chart.

DECEMBER 1, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Ties season high for catches Whittington secured all three targets for 17 yards during Sunday's 34-7 victory against the Buccaneers.

Impact It was another monster game for Puka Nacua and Davante Adams, who combined for 19 targets and a 12-159-2 receiving line. This left little for the other two wideouts who took the field, as along with Whittington's three targets, Konata Mumpfield mustered just two targets of his own. Whittington's usage crept up again for the second consecutive week, with the second-year pro out on the field for 34 snaps on offense. Tutu Atwell (hamstring) and Xavier Smith (concussion) could both return for the Week 13 contest against the Panthers, however, which would reduce Whittington's already limited role even further.

NOVEMBER 24, 2025 • BLEACHERNATION.COM

Little impact in win Whittington secured his only target for nine yards and returned two kicks for 48 yards during Sunday's 21-19 victory against the Seahawks.

Impact The second-year pro saw the field often with Tutu Atwell (hamstring) still on IR and Xavier Smith (concussion) leaving the contest in the first half. The additional playing time didn't amount to anything significant on the stat sheet, although his lone catch was his first since Week 7. With the Buccaneers up next in Week 12, Whittington may be pressed into a bigger role if Smith is unable to clear the concussion protocol, as Atwell won't be available to return until the following week against the Panthers at the earliest. The offense still primarily runs through Puka Nacua and Davante Adams (16 targets out of 25 passing attempts) however, making it difficult to trust Whittington in fantasy lineups.
