Early favorite for WR3 role? Whittington looks like the early leader in the competition for the Rams' No. 3 receiver job, according to Cameron DaSilva of Rams Wire.

Impact We've heard this before at a similar time of the year, and while Whittington has seen a few opportunities as the No. 3 receiver, it's rarely amounted to much in terms of routes and targets. The job bounced around between a slew of players last year, including Xavier Smith and Konata Mumpfield, both of whom are still on the team. The Rams also have rookie sixth-round pick CJ Daniels as a dark horse candidate for the job. In any case, the offense likely will use a lot of multi-TE formations, limiting the WR3's snap and route shares.

Competing for depth spot Entering his third NFL season, Whittington will enter training camp competing for the Rams' WR3 role behind Puka Nacua and Davante Adams, Nate Atkins of The Athletic reports.

Impact A sixth-round pick of the Rams in the 2024 NFL Draft, Whittington saw his snap count on offense increase from his rookie year to his sophomore campaign. Despite the bump in playing time, that didn't result in increased production for Whittington, who finished the 2025 regular season with 18 catches (on 25 targets) for 171 yards across 17 games. His proficiency on special teams and as a blocker will keep him on the field, but training camp will provide Whittington with the opportunity to beat out Xavier Smith, Konata Mumpfield, CJ Daniels and Tyler Scott for the WR3 job behind the dynamic duo of Nacua and Adams.

The second-year pro played 19 snaps (three on offense, 16 on special teams) and returned five kickoffs for 116 yards.

Exits NFCCG with chest injury Whittington (chest) is questionable to return to Sunday's NFC Championship Game against the Seahawks, Nate Atkins of The Athletic reports.

Impact It's not clear when Whittington suffered the injury, but he is being evaluated by medical staff to determine whether he can return to Sunday's game. Xavier Smith and Konata Mumpfield should handle kickoff return duties for as long as Whittington is out of the game.

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.

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.

JANUARY 8 • ROTOWIRE

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.
