It’s as if the Rams are incapable of catching a break when it comes to injuries. Just as Jordan Whittington has started to emerge as Matthew Stafford’s go-to target, he suffered what appears to be a shoulder injury in Sunday’s loss to the Packers.
Whittington was shaken up on a play late in the game, walking into the tunnel in the fourth quarter and missing at least part of the final drive. The severity of the injury is unclear but he was spotted wearing a sling as he left the locker room after the game.
That’s a bad sign for the Rams and their young receiver, but the good news is they’re entering the bye so he’ll have an extra week to recover before the team takes the field again in Week 7.
Sean McVay will address the media on Monday and likely provide an update on the rookie receiver’s status.
#Ramshouse WR Jordan Whittington had a shoulder injury, left locker room in a sling – more details tomorrow.
