| Oct 29, 2026 | NFL | Back Lower Lumbar Sprain/Pull | Grade 1 | — | Whittington's back flared up in practice ahead of LA's Week 8 game vs. the Chargers. He played through the injury but was placed on IR and will miss at least 4 games. |
| Sep 10, 2026 | NFL | Leg Quad Strain | — | 1 | Whittington is listed as doubtful for Monday's game against the New York Giants due to a quadriceps injury. He missed Week 3 but returned in Week 3. |
| Jan 4, 2026 | NFL | Knee Strain | Grade 1 | 1 | Whittington suffered a right knee injury in the first quarter of the Week 18 game against the Arizona Cardinals. The injury ruled him out for the remainder of that game against the Cardinals and the subsequent Wild Card playoff round. |
| Oct 6, 2024 | NFL | Shoulder | — | 2 | Whittington sustained a shoulder injury during the Rams’ Week 5 loss to the Green Bay Packers. Although he did not miss any games immediately due to a bye week following the injury, the ongoing issue later resulted in him missing the games in Week 8 and 9 |
The Rams are expected to put WR Puka Nacua on IR after he got hurt on the final play of Sunday's win over the Commanders, according to multiple reports. Nacua sprained the MCL and PCL in his right knee and sustained a turf toe injury to his right foot. Landing on IR would cost Nacua at least four games, with a Week 11 bye extending his absence. That would make Week 15 his earliest possible return date. We'll watch for updates on his progress in the meantime.
Rams HC Sean McVay says WR Cooper Kupp is expected to miss “an extended period of time” and might hit IR, according to ESPN’s Sarah Barshop. If IR is just a maybe, that indicates the timeline sits around four games. With Puka Nacua already out, there’s clear opportunity the next few weeks for other Rams WRs and TE Colby Parkinson. You can also expect to not see QB Matthew Stafford high in our weekly rankings. Check your Free Agent Finder to see who might make sense for your situation
Rams WR Cooper Kupp injured his left ankle near the end of the first half of Sunday's game vs. the Cardinals. He's been deemed doubtful to return. We'll look for further updates on the injury, but this could be disastrous for a Rams team already without WR Puka Nacua for at least three more games -- and likely more. L.A. is now down to WRs Demarcus Robinson, Tyler Johnson, Tutu Atwell, and Jordan Whittington.
