Ahkello Witherspoon has become a valuable player in the secondary for the Los Angeles Rams, taking over for Cobie Durant as a starter opposite Darious Williams. He remained a starter in Monday night’s playoff game against the Minnesota Vikings and was playing well before getting hurt in the third quarter.
During T.J. Hockenson’s 26-yard touchdown, Witherspoon pulled up lame near the end zone and was promptly taken out of the game. He suffered a thigh injury and was immediately ruled doubtful to return.
