Jordan Whittington Injury Update: Rams vs Seahawks Week 9

Jordan Whittington's Injury Update

In the Rams' Week 9 matchup against the Seahawks, wide receiver Jordan Whittington suffered a knee injury. Whittington was injured in the second quarter of the game and was ruled out for the remainder of the contest. The Rams have not yet released an official update on the severity of Whittington's injury, but he is expected to undergo an MRI on Monday to determine the extent of the damage.

Whittington's Role on the Rams

Whittington has emerged as a key contributor for the Rams this season, especially in recent weeks. He has 21 receptions for 259 yards and two touchdowns in his last five games. Whittington's ability to stretch the field and create separation has made him a valuable target for quarterback Matthew Stafford.

With Whittington out of the lineup, the Rams will be without one of their most dangerous offensive weapons. Van Jefferson and Tutu Atwell are expected to see an increase in targets, and the team may also consider promoting undrafted rookie Lance McCutcheon from the practice squad.

The Rams' Outlook

The Rams are currently 3-5 on the season and are in need of a win to keep their playoff hopes alive. They will face a tough test in the Seahawks, who are 6-2 and have won four straight games. The Rams will need to find a way to replace Whittington's production if they want to have a chance at winning this game.
