With wide receiver Davante Adams missing another game due to injury, the Los Angeles Rams are hoping for more out of fellow wideout Jordan Whittington.

Unfortunately, that is unlikely to happen, as Whittington has disappointed this season when either Adams or wide receiver Puka Nacua have missed time this season.

So, it's not too surprising to see Whittington off to a slow start in the Week 17 contest against the Atlanta Falcons on Monday night.

Let's see what's going on.

Is Jordan Whittington playing tonight?

Yes, Whittington is active and healthy, he just hasn't been targeted yet.

The Rams' first drive didn't last long, as Los Angeles went three-and-out, so nobody really had a chance to get going.

That said, Whittington's lackluster production this season makes him far from a lock to do much, if anything on Monday night.
