Rams' Ahkello Witherspoon: Questionable to return
Witherspoon is considered questionable to return to Sunday's game against the Eagles with cramping, Adam Grosbard of The Orange County Register reports.
Witherspoon recorded his second interception of the season when he picked off a pass from Philadelphia quarterback Jalen Hurts near the corner of the end zone in the third quarter. It's unclear how severe the cramping issue is, but his absence will leave the Rams without their top nickel back for the time being. With Witherspoon sidelined, expect Duke Shelley to take on a larger role behind starting cornerbacks Cobie Durant and Derion Kendrick.

Rams' Ahkello Witherspoon: Participating in practice
Witherspoon, who dealt with a hamstring injury during the offseason, is taking part in training camp practices, Jourdan Rodrigue of The Athletic reports.
Witherspoon signed with the Rams in June after being cut by the Steelers in May. He played in just four games last season but managed to post 20 tackles, two pass deflections and an interception. The 2017 third-round pick will be competing for a depth role in the Los Angeles secondary, though Rodrigue noted that Witherspoon's length and size compared to the other cornerbacks was noticeable.
