Weddle came out of retirement for the Rams for this playoff run only and hasn’t disappointed. He has played in each game and has logged over 130 combined snaps in the past three games.
Weddle also led the team in tackles with nine in L.A.’s 20-17 win over San Francisco in the NFC Championship Game.
He’s never won the Super Bowl in his career, but he’s hoping to ride off into the sunset with one on Sunday evening.
Countess hasn’t played much this season, but he remains on the team for depth purposes. He’s played with the Rams from 2016-2018 and had his best season in 2017. For that season, he finished with 25 total tackles (19 solo) along with an interception.
Kickoff for Super Bowl LVI will be at 6:30 p.m. ET.
