Rams Placing CB Ahkello Witherspoon On IR

Witherspoon was out for two months earlier this season and re-injured his scapula in the Wild Card Round against the Panthers.

Witherspoon, 30, is a former third-round pick of the 49ers back in 2017. He played out the final year of his four-year, $3.88 million contract that included a $973,572 signing bonus.

The Seahawks signed Whitherspoon to a one-year contract worth $4 million in 2021. However, Seattle traded Witherspoon to the Steelers coming out of camp. He re-signed to a two-year deal in Pittsburgh in 2023.  

The Steelers elected to cut Witherspoon back in May of 2023, and he signed on with the Rams. Los Angeles re-signed him to a one-year deal last offseason and brought him back on another one-year deal in 2025.

In 2025, Witherspoon appeared in six games for the Rams and recorded eight tackles, two pass defenses and an interception.
