Impact Whittington was a limited participant at practice Wednesday, but he now appears to be all set for Thursday's contest. The wide receiver will likely operate as the team's primary kick returner again in Week 15.

Ready to go for TNF Whittington (shoulder) is active for Thursday night's contest against the 49ers, Stu Jackson of the Rams' official website reports.
Questionable for Thursday Whittington (shoulder) is questionable to face the 49ers for Thursday Night Football in Week 15, Jourdan Rodrigue of The Athletic reports.
Impact Whittington popped up on the Rams' injury report with a shoulder issue Monday and was also listed as DNP for Tuesday's walkthrough. However, he was able to log a limited practice Wednesday and has a chance of suiting up Thursday. If Whittington can't play against San Francisco, however, Blake Corum could handle kick-return duties for Los Angeles.

Misses practice with shoulder issue Whittington (shoulder) did not practice Tuesday.
Impact Whittington also missed Monday's practice session due to his shoulder injury. The rookie sixth-round pick hasn't logged a target in any of his last six appearances, but he has played a notable role in as a kick returner. Wednesday's final practice report of Week 15 will reveal whether Whittington has a chance of suiting up for Thursday's game against the 49ers.

Gets light usage as returner Whittington returned one kick for 24 yards and failed to record a target during Sunday's 28-22 win against the Patriots.
Impact Whittington's role since the return of Puka Nacua and Cooper Kupp has been non-existent, and he hasn't managed a catch since Week 5. The sixth-round rookie's role seems to be focused on special teams at the moment (16 snaps on special teams versus five snaps on offense), and he'll continue to compete with Tutu Atwell, Tyler Johnson and Xavier Smith for a meager amount of snaps as the backups to Nacua, Kupp and Demarcus Robinson.

Gets back to full practice Thursday Whittington (shoulder) practiced fully Thursday, Sarah Barshop of ESPN.com reports.
Impact Despite missing a second game in a row this past Sunday at Seattle due to a shoulder injury, Whittington was able to string together three consecutive limited practices last week. This time around, he doesn't have any restrictions, indicating that he's past the health concern. With Cooper Kupp and Puka Nacua back in action, Whittington will find snaps and targets difficult to come by, but if Demarcus Robinson (toe/hip), who didn't practice Thursday, is inhibited or out Monday against the Dolphins, Whittington would be a candidate to step in behind the top WR duo.

Sitting out again Sunday Whittington (shoulder) is inactive for Sunday's game at Seattle, Stu Jackson of the Rams' official site reports.
Impact Whittington thus is missing a second straight contest due to a shoulder injury, but he was able to practice in a limited capacity in all three Week 9 practices, indicating he's drawing closer to a return to action. With Whittington sidelined, Tutu Atwell, Demarcus Robinson, Tyler Johnson and Xavier Smith will be the tertiary wide receivers behind the top duo of Cooper Kupp and Puka Nacua.

Deemed questionable Whittington (shoulder) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Seahawks, Sarah Barshop of ESPN.com reports.
Impact Whittington was a limited practice participant Wednesday through Friday, after playing limited snaps Week 7 and sitting out Week 8 entirely. The participation level is an upgrade from last week, leaving both Whittington and fellow Rams wideout Puka Nacua (knee) questionable for Sunday's game.

Stays limited in practice Whittington (shoulder) practiced in a limited capacity Thursday, Adam Caplan of SiriusXM NFL Radio reports.
Impact With back-to-back capped sessions under his belt this week, Whittington already has managed more work than he did a week ago before he sat out last Thursday's win against the Vikings. Meanwhile, Puka Nacua aggravated his right knee injury during this Thursday's session, which could set the stage for Whittington to regain some sway in the Rams offense if he's able to suit up Sunday in Seattle and Nacua again is forced to miss time. In the end, Friday's practice report could shed some light on the overall state of L.A.'s receiving corps.

To be limited Wednesday Coach Sean McVay said Whittington (shoulder) will be limited at Wednesday's practice, Stu Jackson of the Rams' official site reports.
Impact Whittington managed just one capped session last week before the Rams ruled him out for a Week 8 matchup with the Vikings. He'll thus aim to string together multiple appearances this week as L.A. preps for Sunday's visit to the Seahawks. Even when Whittington is cleared to return, though, he'll find snaps and targets difficult to come by with Cooper Kupp and Puka Nacua again available to the offense.

Not playing Thursday Whittington (shoulder) has been ruled out for Thursday's game against the Vikings, Adam Caplan of SiriusXM NFL Radio reports.
Impact Whittington earned some sway in a Rams passing game missing Puka Nacua (knee) since Week 1 and Cooper Kupp (ankle) since Week 2, culminating with 13 combined catches (on 18 targets) for 151 yards between Weeks 4 and 5. However, Whittington emerged from a Week 5 loss to the Packers with a shoulder injury, and even with the benefit of a Week 6 bye, he handled just nine offensive snaps and wasn't targeted this past Sunday versus the Raiders. Now that Whittington is out Week 8, Kupp will be available, Nacua is listed as questionable but remains on injured reserve, and Tutu Atwell, Demarcus Robinson, Tyler Johnson and Xavier Smith all are healthy, which may not leave much work for Whittington once he gets healthy.

Returns to practice Tuesday Whittington (shoulder) was a limited participant in Tuesday's practice session, Adam Caplan of SiriusXM NFL Radio reports.
Impact Whittington played through a shoulder injury during the Rams' Week 7 win over the Raiders, though he finished the game with zero targets. The rookie sixth-round pick was listed as a DNP on Monday's practice estimate, but he was able to see the field during Tuesday's session. Barring any setbacks, he should be good to go for Thursday's game against the Vikings, though Whittington would likely see his offensive snaps significantly decrease should one or both of Puka Nacua (knee) and Cooper Kupp (ankle) return.

Estimated as non-practice participant Whittington (shoulder) was listed as a non-participant on Monday's practice estimate, Jourdan Rodrigue of The Athletic reports.
Impact Per Stu Jackson of the Rams' official site, coach Sean McVay noted Monday that Whittington being limited to nine snaps on offense versus the Raiders on Sunday was a result of the wideout not being able to practice a lot last week due to his shoulder injury. With that in mind, McVay added that he hopes Whittington will have "a little bit more of a workload" Thursday night against the Vikings.

No targets in Week 7 Whittington (shoulder) suited up against Las Vegas, but he did not command a target in the 20-15 win.
Impact Whittington returned from a minor shoulder injury suffered in the Rams' previous contest, but he did not see his role elevated despite the team missing multiple key receivers. Tutu Atwell and Tyler Johnson served as Matthew Stafford's top wideouts instead. With Cooper Kupp (ankle) expected to return against the Vikings on Thursday, Whittington can safely be left on the waiver wire for Week 8.

Active in Week 7 Whittington (shoulder) is active for Sunday's game versus the Raiders, Jourdan Rodrigue of The Athletic reports.
Impact Whittington came out of the Rams' last contest Week 5 with a shoulder injury, but he seemingly benefited from the team's ensuing bye, parlaying three limited practices into a questionable designation and eventual active status. Fellow WR Cooper Kupp made an effort to return from the left high-ankle sprain that has sidelined him since the first half of Week 2 but ultimately will log a fourth straight DNP. Whittington thus will have plenty of opportunities in L.A.'s passing game along with Tutu Atwell, Demarcus Robinson and Tyler Johnson.

Trending toward playing Whittington (shoulder) remains listed as questionable but is expected to play Sunday against the Raiders, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.
Impact Whittington was a limited participant in practice throughout the week while he managed the shoulder issue, but he looks like he'll be able to play through the injury concern. He'll likely have a prominent role in the passing attack waiting for him, as No. 1 wideout Cooper Kupp (ankle) is questionable but is seemingly trending toward sitting out a fourth straight game Sunday, per Schefter. During Kupp's absence in the Rams' last two games, Whittington emerged as quarterback Matt Stafford's go-to option. The rookie out of Texas racked up 18 targets between those two contests and produced a 13-151-0 receiving line.

Listed as questionable Whittington (shoulder) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Raiders, Adam Caplan of SiriusXM NFL Radio reports.
Impact Whittington and Cooper Kupp (ankle) both are listed as questionable after being limited practice participants Wednesday through Friday, with coach Sean McVay saying Friday that Whittington is expected to play but Kupp may come down to a game-time decision. Whittington drew 18 targets in the final two games before a Week 6 bye, handling a near-every-down role alongside WRs Demarcus Robinson and Tutu Atwell. Kupp's return would obviously complicate things, at least in terms of projected target volume if not automatically playing time.

Expected to play Rams coach Sean McVay said Friday that Whittington (shoulder) is expected to play Sunday against the Raiders, Sarah Barshop of ESPN.com reports.
Impact Cooper Kupp, on the other hand, is considered truly questionable due to the ankle injury that's held him out since Week 2. Whittington suffered a shoulder injury Week 5, right before a bye week, and it seems he'll avoid any missed time. He drew 18 targets over the past two games but wouldn't be likely to approach that volume with Kupp back in the lineup.

Remains limited Thursday Whittington (shoulder) practiced in a limited fashion Thursday, Adam Caplan of SiriusXM NFL Radio reports.
Impact Whittington now has put together back-to-back capped sessions out of the Rams' Week 6 bye due to a shoulder injury that he sustained Week 5 against the Packers. Friday's practice report likely will give a sense of Whittington's odds to suit up Sunday versus the Raiders, a contest in which fellow WR Cooper Kupp (ankle), who also has been limited Wednesday and Thursday, may return to action. If both players are able to play this weekend, Whittington likely would take a step back in terms of target share.
OCTOBER 17, 2024 • ROTOWIRE
Set for limited practice Wednesday Coach Sean McVay said Whittington (shoulder) will be limited at Wednesday's practice, Adam Grosbard of The Orange County Register reports.
Impact Whittington emerged from a Week 5 loss to the Packers with a shoulder injury, but even with a Week 6 bye to recover, he won't be able to handle a full allotment of practice reps to begin this week. He thus will have two more chances to get back to full participation before the Rams potentially tag him with a designation for Sunday's game versus the Raiders. There's a chance Cooper Kupp (ankle) returns to action this weekend, but if he doesn't and Whittington is active, the rookie sixth-round pick would be in line for another significant workload, which has amounted to 18 targets the last two contests.

Dealing with shoulder issue Coach Sean McVay noted Monday that Whittington is contending with a shoulder issue following Sunday's 24-19 loss to the Packers, Sarah Barshop of ESPN.com reports.
Impact On the plus side, the report notes that Whittington's availability following the Rams' Week 6 bye shouldn't be affected by the issue. That said, the wideout's status will be worth tracking once the team returns to practice ahead of an Oct. 20 home contest against the Raiders.
