Ahkello Witherspoon was absent from practice on Thursday.
Fantasy Impact
Witherspoon continues to battle a thigh injury. He'll likely have to practice in some capacity on Friday to have a good chance of playing in Sunday's Divisional Round game against the Eagles.
The Rams have signed free agent CB Ahkello Witherspoon.
Fantasy Impact
Witherspoon appeared in four games with the Steelers last season, tallying 17 tackles, one interception, and two passes defensed. The 28-year-old should see plenty of playing time in a revamped Rams’ secondary, if he can remain healthy.
Ahkello Witherspoon and the Pittsburgh Steelers have agreed to terms on a two-year contract.
Fantasy Impact
Pittsburgh traded for Witherspoon last season, and he developed into a starter down the stretch. With Witherspoon now back in the fold, he joins Cam Sutton, Levi Wallace, Arthur Maulet, and James Pierre in the cornerback room. This likely eliminates cornerback as a first-round option for the Steelers and makes offensive line, safety, and wide receiver three top needs.
After sustaining a foot injury on Sunday, an MRI revealed a foot sprain that will keep the third-year corner from action for at least a month. Emmanuel Moseley is currently in the lead to replace Witherspoon, not Jason Verrett who struggled on Sunday in his return from an Achilles tear.
Fantasy Impact
Witherspoon started his 2019 campaign on a mission to bounce back from a mediocre sophomore year. He's played a key role in the 49ers secondary and while his loss isn't crushing to the 49ers D/ST value, it does hurt slightly. The team gets an early Week 4 bye so they may only lose Witherspoon for 3-4 games. With a stout defensive line and linebacking corps, the team should continue to cause issues for opposing QBs and RBs.
