Whittington (chest) is questionable to return to Sunday's NFC Championship Game against the Seahawks, Nate Atkins of The Athletic reports.

EDGE Analysis

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.

Whittington (knee) was not listed on the Rams' injury report Wednesday, Adam Grosbard of The Orange County Register reports.

EDGE Analysis

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.

Whittington (knee) has been ruled out for Saturday's game against the Panthers in the wild-card round.

EDGE Analysis

Whittington was sidelined for all three of the Rams' practices leading to him being ruled out Thursday. With Davante Adams back from his hamstring injury, there likely won't be many targets to go around behind Puka Nacua and Adams, with Konata Mumpfield, Xavier Smith and Tutu Atwell left to compete for those looks among wide receivers. Blake Corum is a candidate to return kickoffs in Whittington's absence.

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

EDGE Analysis

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.

Whittington (knee) was estimated as DNP on Tuesday's practice report, Sarah Barshop of ESPN.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Los Angeles didn't actually practice Tuesday but was required to release an estimation ahead of Saturday afternoon's wild-card matchup with the Panthers. Whittington suffered a knee injury is Sunday's win over the Cardinals and underwent an MRI.

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.

EDGE Analysis

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.

Whittington (knee) has been ruled out for the rest of Sunday's game against the Cardinals.

EDGE Analysis

Whittington was taken to the locker room after injuring his right knee, and medical staff have deemed his injury severe enough for him to not return to Sunday's game. Tutu Atwell and Xavier Smith will see more snaps at wide receiver the rest of the way, but Whittington is now in jeopardy of missing the wild-card round of the NFC playoffs.

Whittington (knee) is questionable to return to Sunday's game against the Cardinals.

EDGE Analysis

Per Adam Grosbard of The Orange County Register, Whittington came out of the blue medical tent with a brace on his right knee and was testing it out before eventually being taken to the locker room. Xavier Smith and Tutu Atwell would be in line for more snaps on offense if Whittington is unable to return, and in that scenario, Blake Corum would also serve as the Rams' primary returner on kickoffs.

Whittington returned three kicks for 80 yards during Monday's 27-24 loss to the Falcons.

EDGE Analysis

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.
