Jordan Whittington Placed on Injured Reserve With Back Issue

The Los Angeles Rams have placed wide receiver Jordan Whittington on injured reserve due to a lingering back issue. Whittington has spent most of the season battling injuries, previously suffering a quadriceps issue in Week 2. He suited up for the team's last eight games while listed as questionable. In a corresponding move, the Rams re-signed Xavier Smith to help bolster their depleted receiving corps.
