Could require IR stint
Rams head coach Sean McVay said Monday during his appearance on the "Coach McVay Show" that Whittington is a candidate for injured reserve due to a lingering back issue.
After a quadriceps injury kept him sidelined for a Week 2 win over the Giants, Whittington has suited up for each of the Rams' last seven games, but he's been listed as questionable with the back concern ahead of the previous two contests. Despite the Rams having a need for help at receiver with Davante Adams (hamstring) on IR, Whittington has been limited to just eight total offensive snaps between those two games, with the back injury perhaps contributing to his sparse playing time. With McVay noting Monday that Puka Nacua (knee) is likely bound for IR, the Rams would be left with Tutu Atwell, Konata Mumpfield and CJ Daniels as their available receivers if Whittington is also deactivated.

Terrance Ferguson
Return from IR not guaranteed
Rams head coach Sean McVay acknowledged Monday during his appearance on the "Coach McVay Show" that he's hopeful Ferguson (hamstring/ankle) will return from injured reserve this season, but was unwilling to guarantee that the tight end will be activated by the time his 21-day evaluation window closes, Cameron DaSilva of USA Today reports. "I'm reluctant to get too far ahead of anything, just because -- but yes, that is something we'd want to avoid if he's not prepared," McVay said, regarding the possibility of Ferguson being shut down.
