Sean McVay considers asking Robert Woods to unretire for Rams

Los Angeles Rams head coach Sean McVay mentioned he is tempted to ask retired wide receiver Robert Woods about returning to play. Woods, who retired in February 2026 to join the Rams' coaching staff, remains in good shape according to McVay. The Rams face challenges with injuries in their wide receiver corps, as Puka Nacua is expected to miss significant time and both Davante Adams and Jordan Whittington are on injured reserve. McVay acknowledged that bringing Woods back would likely violate NFL rules regarding coaching staff participation. The Rams will continue to rely on their remaining receivers until their starters recover from injuries.
