Whitworth announced his retirement from the NFL on Tuesday, Kevin Modesti of the Los Angeles Daily News reports.

EDGE Analysis

Whitworth goes out on top after winning a Super Bowl in his 16th and final season. He's a two-time All Pro and a four-time Pro Bowler, with 164 starts in 11 seasons for the Bengals and 71 more in five years with the Rams. The 40-year-old seemingly has a good chance to be named to the Hall of Fame later this decade when he's eligible.

Whitworth said Wednesday that he's staying active, but his retirement decision is still a few weeks away, Andrew Siciliano of NFL Network reports.

EDGE Analysis

Whitworth suffered a knee injury during the Rams wild-card win over Arizona and was subsequently sidelined for their divisional-round victory over Tampa Bay. However, the 40-year-old returned to his usual left tackle spot for the final two games of the season, including the Super Bowl win over the Bengals.

Whitworth (quadriceps) was listed as a full participant in Wednesday's walkthrough practice, Brady Henderson of ESPN.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Whitworth appears back to 100 percent form after having been held out of Friday's session. The veteran left tackle's knee injury kept him out of Los Angeles' divisional-round victory over Tampa Bay, but he was able to take part in the NFC Championship game and now appears on track for Sunday's contest against Cincinnati in Super Bowl LVI.

Whitworth (knee) was added to the Rams' injury report after not practicing Friday, Tyler Dragon of USA Today reports.

EDGE Analysis

Whitworth suffered a knee injury in the Rams' wild-card win over Arizona and was subsequently sidelined for their divisional-round victory over Tampa Bay. However, he was able to suit up for the NFC Championship game, so his current stint on the injury report could be precautionary. Nonetheless, his practice status next week should be monitored closely to ensure that is the case.

Whitworth (knee) was a full practice participant Thursday, Jourdan Rodrigue of The Athletic reports.

EDGE Analysis

Whitworth suffered the knee injury in the Rams' wild-card round win over Arizona and then went on to miss their divisional-round victory against Tampa Bay. He looks on track to return to the field for the NFC Championship game, which takes on extra importance given that Joe Noteboom (pectoral) has not participated in practice in any capacity to this point in the week.

Whitworth (knee) will practice this week and is on track to play Sunday against the 49ers according to head coach Sean McVay, Jourdan Rodrigue of The Athletic reports.

EDGE Analysis

Whitworth suffered the injury in the Rams' wild-card win over the Cardinals and missed their divisional-round win over the Buccaneers. His return would be a big boost to the Rams' offensive line, especially because Joe Noteboom, his replacement at left tackle, suffered a pectoral injury this past Sunday, and his status also is in question for the NFC Championship Game.

Whitworth (ankle/knee) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Buccaneers, Jourdan Rodrigue of The Athletic reports.

EDGE Analysis

Whitworth suffered the injuries during the wild-card victory over the Cardinals last week, and he'll be unavailable for the next round of the playoffs. Joe Noteboom is the likely candidate to start at left tackle in his place versus Tampa Bay.

Whitworth (ankle/knee) is day-to-day ahead of the Rams' divisional-round matchup with the Buccaneers, Jourdan Rodrigue of The Athletic reports.

EDGE Analysis

The left tackle suffered the injuries in the Rams' wild-card win over the Cardinals on Monday, leaving the game in the first half before returning. Whitworth's ability to play through the injury Monday bodes well for his chances to play Sunday in Tampa Bay, though his practice status the rest of the week is worth monitoring.

Whitworth is questionable to return to Monday's game against the Cardinals after suffering an ankle injury.

EDGE Analysis

Whitworth suffered the injury on the opening play of the game, but he returned for the rest of the first half after being examined on the sidelined. Given the Rams' ability to move the ball effectively on offense for much of the game, the team could opt to let Whitworth sit out significant portions of the final two quarters. Joe Noteboom would likely see the majority of snaps at left tackle in Whitworth's absence.

Whitworth (undisclosed) was activated from the reserve/COVID-19 list Thursday.

EDGE Analysis

Whiteworth was sidelined for Week 16 after landing in the health and safety protocols, but he'll be back at left tackle for the Rams this weekend at Baltimore.
