Tutu Atwell barely played as a rookie last year before suffering a season-ending shoulder injury, failing to touch the ball a single time on offense. There were high hopes coming into Year 2, especially after he played well enough to get the veteran treatment during the preseason by sitting out all three games.
When the season began, Atwell barely played. He never got on the field for more than nine snaps in the first six weeks and was even a healthy scratch multiple times. In the last two games, however, Atwell has stepped up. He’s played a total of 58 snaps and caught four passes for 71 yards since Week 12, making an especially impressive one-handed grab against the Seahawks on Sunday.
