Tutu Atwell has cleared concussion protocol, will play vs. Saints

Tutu Atwell took a big hit along the sideline during the Rams’ loss to the Ravens in Week 15, forcing him to miss Sunday’s game. He was in the concussion protocol all week but Sean McVay said on Monday that Atwell has been cleared and will play against the Saints on Thursday night.

Atwell has been overtaken by Demarcus Robinson as the No. 3 receiver on offense, but his speed and agility will still earn him snaps as a situational player. He’s been the Rams’ best deep threat all season and even when he’s not making catches downfield, he’s drawing pass interference penalties.

In 13 games played, Atwell has a career-high 37 catches for 476 yards and three touchdowns, while also rushing four times for 35 yards.

Atwell’s return gives the Rams some additional depth behind Cooper Kupp and Puka Nacua, and he should continue competing for reps with Robinson on the outside.
