Weddle (pectoral) said Sunday after the Rams' 23-20 win over the Bengals in Super Bowl LVI that he will retire from football, Jordan Mendoza of USA Today reports.

EDGE Analysis

When their depth at safety was decimated by injuries heading into the postseason, the Rams were able to coax Weddle out of retirement after he had previously hung up his cleats two years earlier. The 37-year-old officially signed with Los Angeles' practice squad Jan. 12 and was elevated to the roster ahead of each of the team's four playoff contests, finishing with 18 tackles across those contests. He was on the field for all 61 of the Rams' defensive snaps in the Super Bowl victory, despite suffering a torn pectoral muscle in the first quarter of the contest. Weddle will soon undergo surgery to address the injury, but his strong showing in the postseason hasn't reinvigorated a desire to keep playing during the 2022 campaign. The six-time Pro Bowler acknowledged after the game that making a brief comeback to capture his first Super Bowl ring was enough for him to walk away from the game without any regrets.

Weddle suffered an apparent torn pectoral in the first quarter of Super Bowl LVI against the Bengals on Sunday, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.

EDGE Analysis

Weddle briefly received medical attention during the first quarter of Sunday's matchup but was able to play through the injury for the remainder of the game. He finished with five tackles (four solo). The 37-year-old is expected to retire once again during the offseason after playing a sizable role in the Rams' championship run.

Weddle was elevated to the Rams' active roster from their practice squad ahead of Super Bowl LVI against the Bengals on Sunday.

EDGE Analysis

Weddle led the Rams in tackles during the NFC Championship Game against the 49ers, and he's slated to wear the green dot on his helmet during the Super Bowl. Across his three appearances since joining the Rams ahead of the playoffs, the 37-year-old has logged 13 tackles (six solo).

Weddle has been elevated to the Rams' active roster from their practice squad ahead of Sunday's NFC Championship Game against San Francisco.

EDGE Analysis

Weddle will join the active roster for a third consecutive week as the Rams attempt to secure a trip to the Super Bowl. He totaled four tackles (two solo) across his first two appearances of the postseason.

Weddle reverted to Rams' practice squad Monday, Aaron Wilson of Sportstalk 790 Houston reports.

EDGE Analysis

Weddle will likely rejoin the Rams' active roster for the NFC Championship Game. He's been elevated to the active roster for each of the team's first two playoff games and recorded four tackles against the Buccaneers in the divisional round.

The Rams elevated Weddle from their practice squad Saturday.

EDGE Analysis

Weddle will join the Rams' active roster for a second consecutive playoff matchup. He played 19 defensive snaps in last week's wild-card win over the Cardinals but didn't record any counting stats.

The Rams reverted Weddle to the practice squad Tuesday.

EDGE Analysis

Weddle was elevated from the practice squad for Monday's wild-card victory over the Cardinals, playing 19 snaps at free safety while splitting time with Terrell Burgess. The 37-year-old may be activated again for Sunday's divisional-round matchup with the Buccaneers if starter Taylor Rapp (concussion) remains inactive.

The Rams elevated Weddle off the practice squad to the 53-man roster Monday.

EDGE Analysis

Weddle hasn't made an appearance in the NFL since 2019, but he's come out of retirement ahead of the playoffs after Jordan Fuller (ankle) was placed on injured reserve last week. The veteran safety will be active for the wild-card showdown against the Cardinals, but it's unclear how much playing time he will actually receive. Taylor Rapp (concussion) is also out, so Weddle, Nick Scott and Terrell Burgess are all candidates for increased roles against Kyler Murray and Arizona's dynamic offense.

The Rams signed Weddle to their practice squad Wednesday.

EDGE Analysis

Weddle hasn't made an appearance in the NFL since 2019, but he'll come out of retirement ahead of the playoffs after Jordan Fuller (ankle) was placed on injured reserve Wednesday. While he'll begin on the team's practice squad, it wouldn't be surprising to see him join the active roster ahead of Monday's wild-card matchup against the Cardinals. Both Weddle and Nick Scott could see snaps in Fuller's absence.

Weddle intends to come out of retirement and sign with the Rams ahead of the team's upcoming postseason run, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.

EDGE Analysis

With starting safety Jordan Fuller (ankle) out for the playoffs, Los Angeles will bring back the 37-year-old Weddle, who last played in the NFL in 2019. He spent that season with the Rams, his lone campaign with the club following nine years with the Chargers and three in Baltimore. The Rams also have a relatively experienced backup in Nick Scott, but they may need both him and Weddle to play a lot of snaps if their other starting safety, Taylor Rapp, doesn't clear concussion protocol before Monday's game against the Cardinals.
