Los Angeles Rams wide receiver Jordan Whittington, left, gains yards carrying the ball as Dallas Cowboys cornerback Josh Butler and others give chase during the first half of a preseason NFL football game, Sunday, Aug. 11, 2024, in Inglewood, Calif. INGLEWOOD — There are a lot of mouths to feed in the Rams’ receivers room, but Jordan Whittington made a strong case during Sunday’s 13-12 preseason win over the Dallas Cowboys that he deserves his spot at the table.
He continued to make plays through the first half. On one reception, he crossed behind the offensive line after the snap for an opening in the flat. He made another catch through a big hit, then a few plays later caught a button hook and fought through contact to pick up a first down. Kicker Joshua Karty made both of his field goal attempts, from 28 and 39 yards out respectively, a fact that would feel entirely insignificant if not for all the Rams’ kicker woes a year ago.
The first pick came on an overthrow of Whittington. It was unclear what exactly happened on the play, however, given that tight end Hunter Long appeared to jump early but no false start was called, which may have flustered Bennett.
