Weddle, 37, was one of the NFL's top safeties across the last decade before retiring after the 2019 season. He is a two-time All-Pro and six-time Pro Bowler, tallying 29 interceptions in 13 seasons. 

Weddle spent the first nine years of his career with the Chargers before a three-year stint in Baltimore. He played one season with the Rams in 2019 before his retirement. 

Los Angeles is adding Weddle after safety Jordan Fuller suffered a season-ending ankle injury in Sunday's loss to the 49ers. The Rams will face the Cardinals in the wild-card round on Monday night, with kickoff from SoFi Stadium slated for 8:15 p.m. ET.
