Eric Weddle is coming out of retirement to sign with the Los Angeles Rams after the season-ending injury to Jordan Fuller.
Weddle's return to the Rams was announced by his agent.
Los Angeles' overtime loss to the San Francisco 49ers on Sunday will require season-ending surgery on defensive signal-caller Will Fuller, who suffered an ankle injury.
The Rams have two other injuries in their secondary. Safety Taylor Rapp, who grabbed his fourth interception of the season against the 49ers, has entered the concussion protocol, while teammate Darious Williams suffered a shoulder injury in the game.
The Rams host the Arizona Cardinals in a wild-card round playoff game on Monday. The time is 3:20.
He retired after the Rams' season in which he started all 16 games. He was the leader of the team.
A six-time Pro Bowl selection and two-time All-Pro, Weddle has 29 interceptions, including four returned for touchdown, 8 forced turnovers, 7 fumble recoveries, 9.5 sacks and 98 pass deflections in 13 seasons.
He spent his first nine seasons with the Bolts, who selected him in the second round of the 2007 draft, and three seasons with the Ravens before joining the Rams.
