The Rams elevated Witherspoon from the practice squad to the active roster Saturday. Witherspoon will be elevated for a second straight week, and he will provide depth for the Rams' secondary against the Packers on Sunday. In Week 4 against the Bears, he played seven snaps on defense and registered one solo tackle.

Witherspoon signed with the Rams' practice squad Wednesday. Witherspoon's return to LA won't include an immediate spot on their 53-man roster. Considering he remained a free agent throughout training camp, the Colorado product will likely need some time to prove he's ready to compete on Sundays. However, once he does so, he'll likely have the opportunity to move to the active roster and bolster the Rams' depth in the secondary.

Witherspoon is slated to sign with the Rams on Wednesday, Jordan Schultz of BleacherReport.com reports. Witherspoon had a career year in 2023 yet remained unsigned throughout the offseason. It now appears though that the Colorado product will ultimately end up back with the Rams, where he spent last season after stops in San Francisco and Pittsburgh. Although it's not clear how long it may take him to get into game shape, he should bolster the team's depth in the secondary, as Cobie Durant is dealing with a toe injury and Darious Williams is on IR due to a hamstring injury.

Witherspoon logged seven total tackles (four solo), including one tackle for loss while also deflecting a pass in Sunday's 26-25 win over the Giants. Witherspoon was tied for Los Angeles' third-leading tackler in Week 17, posting the most total stops he has had in a game all season. The veteran cornerback has been a staple on the Rams' defense in his first season with the team, recording 47 total tackles, 14 pass deflections and three interceptions in 16 appearances. Expect Witherspoon to continue his productive run in Los Angeles' secondary during the team's divisional matchup with the 49ers in Week 18.

Coach Sean McVay said Monday that he expects Witherspoon (groin) to play Thursday versus the Saints, Gary Klein of the Los Angeles Times reports. Witherspoon sustained a groin injury during Sunday's game versus the Commanders, but it doesn't look like it will force him to miss extended time. He's been one of the Rams' most reliable corners so far this season, so if he suits up, Witherspoon figures to draw a healthy dose of Chris Olave on Thursday.
