Witherspoon (shoulder) is questionable to return to the Rams' wild-card matchup versus the Panthers on Saturday.
EDGE Analysis
Witherspoon sustained the injury in the second quarter, leaving his status for the remainder of the game up in the air. If the 30-year-old ends up being unable to return, Roger McCreary and Emmanuel Forbes would likely see increased playing time.

Witherspoon is active for Monday's game against the Falcons, Stu Jackson of the Rams' official site reports.
EDGE Analysis
Witherspoon has been a healthy scratch in each of the Rams' last two games, but he'll be available to play Monday night. The veteran corner has been limited to just four regular-season games mostly due to a shoulder injury and has accumulated seven tackles (six solo) and one pass defense. Witherspoon could play a key role in the Rams' secondary in the absence of Darious Williams (coach's decision).

Witherspoon (shoulder) was activated from the injured reserve list Saturday and has no injury designation ahead of Sunday's matchup against the Panthers.
EDGE Analysis
The 30-year-old will suit up Sunday for the first time since sustaining a broken shoulder blade in the Rams' Week 2 win over the Titans. Witherspoon was a key part of Los Angeles' secondary in 2024, recording 31 total tackles and nine passes defended, including one interception, across 13 regular-season contests. Now fully healthy, he's expected to operate as one of the Rams' top boundary corners in Week 13.

Witherspoon (shoulder) was designated to return from injured reserve Wednesday.
EDGE Analysis
Witherspoon has been sidelined since Week 2 while recovering from a broken shoulder blade, per Greg Beacham of the Associated Press. Head coach Sean McVay originally described the cornerback's injury as a broken clavicle in September, but nonetheless, the team has now opened a 21-day practice window for Witherspoon. He was a full participant at Wednesday's practice session, and it's possible that he could return to action Sunday against the Panthers. The 30-year-old will have to be activated from IR within the next 21 days, or he'll be forced to remain sidelined for the rest of the season.

Witherspoon (shoulder) was placed on injured reserve Monday.
EDGE Analysis
Head coach Sean McVay told reporters that Witherspoon broke his clavicle in the Rams' Week 2 win over the Titans, so his move to IR on Monday comes as no surprise. The Colorado product played 62 defensive snaps this season before sustaining his injury, recording three total tackles and one pass defended. With Witherspoon now on IR, Josh Wallace is currently the lone reserve outside cornerback on the Rams' active roster. McVay said Monday that Witherspoon is facing a projected 12-week recovery timeframe, per Stu Jackson of the Rams' official site.

Head coach Sean McVay relayed that Witherspoon broke his clavicle during the Rams' 33-19 win over the Titans on Sunday, Stu Jackson of the Rams' official site reports.
EDGE Analysis
Witherspoon left in the second quarter of Sunday's game, and further tests and imaging revealed the fracture. The severity of the injury will keep the 2017 third-rounder out for multiple weeks, making a stint on injured reserve likely. Emmanuel Forbes is the top candidate to start at outside corner opposite Darious Williams for as long as Witherspoon is sidelined.
