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

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

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

Rams' Jordan Whittington: Doubtful for Monday
Rotowire
Whittington (quadriceps) is doubtful to play in Monday's game against the Giants, Benjamin Royer of The Orange County Register reports.
Whittington has not practiced since sustaining his quadriceps injury in the Rams' Week 1 loss to the 49ers. The wide receiver's likely absence for Monday's contest would be made even worse if Puka Nacua (groin) were also unable to suit up. Konata Mumpfield and Xavier Smith could see increased roles against the Giants, but if multiple wide receivers must miss time, it is likely the Rams will live in 13-personnel packages with the team's deep tight end corps.

Rams' Jordan Whittington: Misses practice Friday
Rotowire
Whittington (quadriceps) did not practice Friday.
Whittington logged 25 offensive snaps in the 27-7 loss to the 49ers in Week 1, finishing behind Puka Nacua (43) and Davante Adams (33). However, he ended with just one catch for eight yards. While there doesn't appear to be much upside surrounding Whittington ahead of the Week 2 meeting with the Giants, that could change if Nacua, who also didn't practice Friday due to a hip issue, can't suit up for that contest.

Rams' Jordan Whittington: Catches one pass in Week 1
Rotowire
Whittington caught his lone target for eight yards in the Rams' 27-7 loss to the 49ers in Week 1.
Whittington played 25 of 61 offensive snaps but saw his playing time elevated some late in the fourth quarter after the Rams pulled their starters. He also saw 13 snaps on special teams, returning four kicks for 94 yards. Whittington may need some injuries ahead of him to be a useful fantasy asset.

Rams' Jordan Whittington: Returned to Sunday's game
Rotowire
Whittington (chest) was cleared to return to Sunday's NFC Championship Game loss to the Seahawks.
Whittington suffered a chest injury late in the third quarter of Sunday's 31-27 loss to Seattle but was given the green light to return in the fourth quarter. The second-year pro played 19 snaps (three on offense, 16 on special teams) and returned five kickoffs for 116 yards. Whittington ended the 2025 regular season with 18 catches (on 25 targets) for 171 yards along with 434 yards on 17 kickoff returns across 17 games.

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

Rams' Jordan Whittington: Trending towards playing Sunday
Rotowire
Whittington (knee) was not listed on the Rams' injury report Wednesday, Adam Grosbard of The Orange County Register reports.
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.

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

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

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

Rams' Jordan Whittington: Records just four snaps on offense
Rotowire
Whittington failed to secure his only target and returned four kickoffs for 102 yards during Sunday's 41-34 win against the Lions.
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 in Week 16, but a sudden surge in usage and targets from Matthew Stafford seems unlikely given his track record so far this season.

Rams' Jordan Whittington: Held without a catch
Rotowire
Whittington failed to secure his only target during Sunday's 31-28 loss to the Panthers.
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 last week as well, which would push Whittington further down the depth chart.

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

Rams' Jordan Whittington: Limited Wednesday
Rotowire
Whittington (back) was limited in Wednesday's practice, Sarah Barshop of ESPN.com reports.
Whittington played through the back issue last Sunday against the 49ers, but he played just seven offensive snaps and appears to have fallen behind both Xavier Smith and Konata Mumpfield on the depth chart behind Puka Nacua and Davante Adams (oblique).

Rams' Jordan Whittington: Usage deteriorates again
Rotowire
Whittington didn't record a target during Sunday's 42-26 victory against the 49ers.
Whittington was on the field for a season-low seven snaps on offense, which may have been partially due to a back injury that held him out of practice for part of the week. Fellow backups Xavier Smith and Konata Mumpfield played nearly the same amount of time as starters Puka Nacua and Davante Adams (oblique). With Nacua and Adams still dominating the attention of Matthew Stafford on Sunday while generating a combined 11-141-2 stat line, it's difficult to rely on any other receiver for the Rams when the star duo is healthy. A game with massive ramifications for the NFC West is up next on the docket, as the Rams host the Seahawks in Week 11.

Rams' Jordan Whittington: Active Sunday
Rotowire
Whittington (back) is listed as active for Sunday's game against the 49ers.
After missing practice Wednesday and Thursday, Whittington logged a limited session Friday before being listed as questionable for Sunday's contest. With his Week 10 availability confirmed, Whittington will continue to work behind the Rams' clear-cut top WRs, Puka Nacua and Davante Adams. In that role, Whittington has recorded a 12/121/0 receiving line on 17 targets in eight games, a pace that keeps him off the fantasy radar in most formats.

Rams' Jordan Whittington: Misses practice again
Rotowire
Whittington (back) did not participate in practice for the second day in a row Thursday, Adam Caplan of SiriusXM NFL Radio reports.
The kick returner and wide receiver will have one more chance to practice ahead of Sunday's matchup with the 49ers. Whittington has 12 catches for 121 yards and 109 kickoff-return yards on the year. If Whittington ultimately sits out Sunday, Blake Corum might be next in line to handle kickoff-return duties.

Rams' Jordan Whittington: Makes pair of catches
Rotowire
Whittington secured two of four targets for nine yards during Sunday's 35-7 victory against the Jaguars in London.
The second-year pro actually led all Rams wideouts in snaps played in the London contest, taking the field for 41 out of 70 snaps. Whittington wasn't able to do much with that usage, however, as Davante Adams, Terrance Ferguson and Konata Mumpfield were the targets of Matthew Stafford's five passing touchdowns on the day, with Adams garnering three by himself. Whittington hasn't hit the next level in terms of production through seven games, with a meager 12-121-0 stat line as the Rams enter their bye week. He'll look to get back on track in Week 9 in a home contest against the Saints.
