Los Angeles Rams activate DB Eric Weddle, confident six-time Pro Bowl safety is 'ready to go'

The Los Angeles Rams have activated defensive backs Eric Weddle and Blake Countess from their practice squad for Monday night's wild-card playoff game against the visiting Arizona Cardinals, the team announced.

The Rams signed Weddle and Countess last week after both of their starting safeties went down in the team's regular-season finale. Jordan Fuller suffered a season-ending ankle injury while Taylor Rapp suffered a concussion and was unable to clear protocol in time for Monday night's game at SoFi Stadium.

The 37-year-old Weddle, who came out of a two-year retirement, told reporters last week that he expected to play against Arizona.
