Commanders' Ahkello Witherspoon: Agrees to deal with Commanders
Witherspoon (shoulder) is signing with the Commanders, Mike Garafolo of NFL Network reports.
Witherspoon will join the team after visiting Washington on Thursday. He evidently showed during the visit that the shoulder injury which landed Witherspoon on IR to finish his tenure with the Rams is no longer bothering the cornerback. Commanders GM Adam Peters was part of San Francisco's front office when the 49ers drafted Witherspoon in 2017.

Rams' Ahkello Witherspoon: Officially placed on IR
The Rams placed Witherspoon (shoulder) on injured reserve Tuesday.
Witherspoon will miss the remainder of Los Angeles' postseason contests, including Sunday's divisional-round matchup against the Bears, due to a scapula injury he aggravated during the team's 34-31 win over the Panthers in the wild-card round. Cameron DaSilva of USA Today reports that Witherspoon broke his scapula for a second time this season versus Carolina, which would burden him with a multimonth recovery that could impact his availability for the start of OTAs.

Rams' Ahkello Witherspoon: Will go on IR due to shoulder
Witherspoon (shoulder) will be placed on injured reserve, head coach Sean McVay relayed Monday, Greg Beacham of The Associated Press reports.
Witherspoon aggravated his scapula injury during the Rams' 34-31 win over the Panthers in the wild-card round. The cornerback will miss the remainder of the Rams' postseason run due to the injury and is set to become an unrestricted free agent this offseason ahead of his age-31 campaign. Witherspoon had eight tackles (six solo) and one interception among his two passes defensed in six regular-season games and added one solo tackle prior to his departure from Saturday's playoff win.

Rams' Ahkello Witherspoon: Won't return vs. Panthers
Witherspoon (shoulder) has been ruled out for the remainder of Saturday's wild-card game versus Carolina.

Rams' Ahkello Witherspoon: Questionable to return
Witherspoon (shoulder) is questionable to return to the Rams' wild-card matchup versus the Panthers on Saturday.
Witherspoon sustained the injury in the second quarter, leaving his status for the remainder of the game up in the air. If the 30-year-old ends up being unable to return, Roger McCreary and Emmanuel Forbes would likely see increased playing time.

Rams' Ahkello Witherspoon: Active vs. Atlanta
Witherspoon is active for Monday's game against the Falcons, Stu Jackson of the Rams' official site reports.
Witherspoon has been a healthy scratch in each of the Rams' last two games, but he'll be available to play Monday night. The veteran corner has been limited to just four regular-season games mostly due to a shoulder injury and has accumulated seven tackles (six solo) and one pass defense. Witherspoon could play a key role in the Rams' secondary in the absence of Darious Williams (coach's decision).

Rams' Ahkello Witherspoon: Returning in Week 13
Witherspoon (shoulder) was activated from the injured reserve list Saturday and has no injury designation ahead of Sunday's matchup against the Panthers.
The 30-year-old will suit up Sunday for the first time since sustaining a broken shoulder blade in the Rams' Week 2 win over the Titans. Witherspoon was a key part of Los Angeles' secondary in 2024, recording 31 total tackles and nine passes defended, including one interception, across 13 regular-season contests. Now fully healthy, he's expected to operate as one of the Rams' top boundary corners in Week 13.

Rams' Ahkello Witherspoon: Practices in full again
Witherspoon (shoulder), who officially remains on IR, was a full participant in Thursday's practice, Adam Grosbard of The Orange County Register reports.
Witherspoon logged two straight full practices after being designated to return from injured reserve Wednesday. Considering his practice participation, the Rams will likely activate him to the 53-man roster in time for Sunday's game against the Panthers.

Rams' Ahkello Witherspoon: Designated to return from IR
Witherspoon (shoulder) was designated to return from injured reserve Wednesday.
Witherspoon has been sidelined since Week 2 while recovering from a broken shoulder blade, per Greg Beacham of the Associated Press. Head coach Sean McVay originally described the cornerback's injury as a broken clavicle in September, but nonetheless, the team has now opened a 21-day practice window for Witherspoon. He was a full participant at Wednesday's practice session, and it's possible that he could return to action Sunday against the Panthers. The 30-year-old will have to be activated from IR within the next 21 days, or he'll be forced to remain sidelined for the rest of the season.

Rams' Ahkello Witherspoon: Shifts to IR
The Rams placed Witherspoon (collarbone) on injured reserve Monday.
Head coach Sean McVay said that Witherspoon broke his clavicle in the Rams' Week 2 win over the Titans, so his move to IR on Monday comes as no surprise. The Colorado product played 62 defensive snaps this season before sustaining his injury, recording three total tackles and one pass defensed. McVay said Monday that Witherspoon will avoid surgery but is facing a projected 12-week recovery timeframe, per Stu Jackson of the Rams' official site.

Rams' Ahkello Witherspoon: Breaks clavicle in Week 2 win
Head coach Sean McVay relayed that Witherspoon broke his clavicle during the Rams' 33-19 win over the Titans on Sunday, Stu Jackson of the Rams' official site reports.
Witherspoon left in the second quarter of Sunday's game, and further tests and imaging revealed the fracture. The severity of the injury will keep the 2017 third-rounder out for multiple weeks, making a stint on injured reserve for him likely. Emmanuel Forbes is the top candidate to start at outside corner opposite Darious Williams for as long as Witherspoon is sidelined.

Witherspoon (shoulder) is out for the rest of Sunday's game against the Titans, Gary Klein of the Los Angeles Times reports.
The starting right cornerback did not record a stat before exiting in the second quarter. In his absence, Emmanuel Forbes will likely step forward as the Rams' "top outside corner," per Nate Atkins of The Athletic.
