Witherspoon was active for the first time last week in Chicago. In 2023, Witherspoon started 17 games for the Rams, setting career-highs in eight statistical categories. He’ll revert back to the practice squad after the game.
Xavier Smith is activated from the practice squad for the third time this season. Due to NFL rules, if the Rams want to promote Smith again, they will have to sign him to their active roster after the game.
The Rams also placed DT Larrell Murchison on injured reserve and activated CB Darious Williams. Williams was placed on IR before the start of the season with a hamstring injury.
Williams will take the field on Sunday. After spending the last two seasons with Jacksonville, this will be Williams’ first time putting on a Rams jersey since his winning effort in Super Bowl LVI.
