Rams' Jordan Whittington: Team-high reception total Sunday

Whittington brought in six of eight targets for 62 yards in the Rams' 24-18 loss to the Bears on Sunday.

Whittington was the Rams' leader in receptions and targets while checking in second in receiving yards to Tutu Atwell. The rookie sixth-round pick now has upped his catches, receiving yards and targets in three successive weeks, benefitting from the absences of Cooper Kupp (ankle) and Puka Nacua (IR, knee). With Kupp uncertain to return for a Week 5 home matchup against the Packers next Sunday, Whittington could continue enjoying an expanded role.
