Coach Sean McVay said Weddle is in concussion protocol, but Weddle tweeted that he's "good as gold," Cameron DaSilva of USA Today reports.
EDGE Analysis
McVay's word trumps Weddle's self-diagnosis, but this may be encouraging news for a quick recovery. Keep an eye on Weddle's practice status Wednesday as the team gets ready for Week 2's contest versus the Saints. If Weddle misses additional time, expect Marqui Christian to jump into a starting free safety role.

Weddle is being evaluated for a possible concussion and won't return to Sunday's game against Carolina.
EDGE Analysis
The veteran was carted off the field after sustaining a nasty head injury. Now that Weddle is done for the day, Marqui Christian will likely continue to see an increase in snaps. Expect the team to have a report regarding the concussion tests in the coming days.

Weddle is doubtful to return to Sunday's game against the Panthers with a head laceration, Cameron DaSilva of USA Today reports.
EDGE Analysis
Weddle was carted off the field early in the second quarter, and after being examined in the locker room, likely won't return to the game. Marqui Christian and Nick Scott are candidates to fill in at the free safety position should Weddle be officially ruled out.

Weddle was carted off the field during Sunday's game versus the Panthers, Brendan Marks of The Charlotte Observer reports.
EDGE Analysis
There's no definitive status on Weddle's return, but he'll be examined in the locker room and likely stay there at least until halftime is over. Weddle made six tackles (two solo) before exiting the contest.

Weddle is signing with the Rams, Jeff Zrebiec of The Athletic reports.
EDGE Analysis
Released by Baltimore on Tuesday, the 34-year-old safety didn't take long to find a new team. Weddle figures to replace starting free safety LaMarcus Joyner, who is scheduled to become an unrestricted free agent when the new league year begins Wednesday.

Weddle intends to play football in 2019, Clarence E. Hill Jr. of the Fort Worth Star-Telegram reports.
EDGE Analysis
At one point Weddle hinted he'd retire once he was done in Baltimore, but it now seems he wants to continue playing despite being released by the Ravens on Tuesday. Widely viewed as the leader of an excellent Baltimore secondary, the 34-year-old safety dropped off considerably from a statistical perspective in 2018, with three passes defensed and zero interceptions. Weddle still figures to draw plenty of interest in the coming weeks, as his leadership and football IQ largely make up for subpar range.

The Ravens released Weddle on Tuesday, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.
EDGE Analysis
Weddle joins a crowded field at safety after a three-year run with Baltimore that resulted in Pro-Bowl appearances each season. The 34-year-old remains at the top of his game and should garner significant interest on the open market.

Weddle has stated a desire to return to the Ravens in 2019.
EDGE Analysis
Weddle totaled the third-fewest tackles of his career in 2018 (68) and failed to come up with an interception for just the second time in 12 seasons. While he explained he still has a desire to play, it's not certain that Baltimore will want to keep him around given his $8.25 million cap hit in 2019. If the Ravens ultimately decide to part ways, it seems Weddle is prepared to announce his retirement.

Weddle recorded eight tackles (seven solo), including a sack in Sunday's loss to Cleveland.
EDGE Analysis
Weddle has yet to record his first interception of the year, but he managed his first sack of the campaign while also racking up a season-high in tackles Sunday. Though the Ravens didn't win, the defense played well, holding the Browns to 12 points in almost 70 minutes of action. Baltimore will look to bounce back next week against Tennessee.

Weddle collected 63 tackles, six interceptions, and two forced fumbles over 16 games in 2017.
EDGE Analysis
Another year, another Pro Bowl for Weddle, who'll be heading to his fifth-career Pro Bowl and his fourth in the last five seasons. His ball-hawking ability netted him six interceptions, which marks the second-highest output of his career. It is worth noting that Weddle wasn't quite as active in defending the run this season as his tackles fell from 89 to a career-low 63, although some of that role change can be attributed to the addition of noted box safety Tony Jefferson. With Jefferson signed to be in Baltimore for the foreseeable future, it's reasonable to think that Weddle's floor in IDP formats will be a bit lower as he won't be asked to stick his nose in the run game as much as previous years. He's still a playmaker in the secondary that can rack up interceptions, but the lightened week-to-week tackle production probably knocks Weddle down from the elite tier of IDP safeties.
