Rams' Ahkello Witherspoon: Game-winning pick vs. Arizona
Witherspoon tallied six tackles (five solo) and two pass defenses (including an interception) during the Rams' 13-9 win over the Cardinals on Saturday.
Witherspoon played a season-high 73 snaps on defense Saturday. He made the biggest play of the game late in the fourth quarter, when he made a diving catch for the game-sealing interception on a pass from Kyler Murray to the end zone that bounced off the helmet of Trey McBride. It was Witherspoon's first interception of the 2024 campaign and the 12th of his eight-year NFL career. The 2017 third-round pick is up to 29 tackles (23 solo) and eight pass defenses (including one interception) across 12 regular-season games.

Ahkello Witherspoon: Return to LA expected
Witherspoon is slated to sign with the Rams on Wednesday, Jordan Schultz of BleacherReport.com reports.
Witherspoon had a career year in 2023 yet remained unsigned throughout the offseason. It now appears though that the Colorado product will ultimately end up back with the Rams, where he spent last season after stops in San Francisco and Pittsburgh. Although it's not clear how long it may take him to get into game shape, he should bolster the team's depth in the secondary, as Cobie Durant is dealing with a toe injury and Darious Williams is on IR due to a hamstring injury.

Ahkello Witherspoon: Officially signs
Witherspoon signed with the Rams' practice squad Wednesday.
Witherspoon's return to LA won't include an immediate spot on their 53-man roster. Considering he remained a free agent throughout training camp, the Colorado product will likely need some time to prove he's ready to compete on Sundays. However, once he does so, he'll likely have the opportunity to move to the active roster and bolster the Rams' depth in the secondary.

Rams' Ahkello Witherspoon: Posts numerous career-highs
Witherspoon recorded 52 tackles (43 solo), 14 passes defended and three interceptions while recovering two fumbles during the 2023 regular season.
Expected to be a depth piece for the Rams after an underwhelming and injury-riddled 2022 with the Steelers, Witherspoon instead stepped in and earned the starting cornerback role alongside Cobie Durant, and he produced career highs in tackles and passes defended while tying a career high with three interceptions. He did sustain two injuries on the year but played through them to log his first season with all games played in seven seasons in the NFL. Witherspoon is a unrestricted free agent in the offseason, and a return to Los Angeles will likely hinge on who GM Les Snead deems a priority with Kevin Dotson, Coleman Shelton and Demarcus Robinson all also pending free agents.
