The Los Angeles Rams (7-7) are getting some much-needed offensive help ahead of Thursday night’s matchup with the New Orleans Saints.
On Monday, Rams head coach Sean McVay gave the all-clear for wide receiver Tutu Atwell. He said that Atwell has cleared concussion protocol, and he is now expected to return to game action Thursday.
The news comes just in time for the Rams’ continued push for the postseason after starting 1-2.
Atwell sustained a concussion in the Rams’ heartbreaking Week 14 loss to the Baltimore Ravens.
The concussion forced him to miss the Week 15 matchup with the Washington Commanders, a game that helped the Rams hold on to a potential playoff spot.
What makes Atwell such an interesting player for the Rams is his speed. He is always a mismatch, regardless of who lines up in front of him.
Atwell was a full participant in Monday’s practice — making it more likely that he will play on Thursday.
In 13 games played this season, Atwell has a career-high 37 catches for 476 yards and three touchdowns. He also has four rushes for 35 yards.
After being crushed by injuries in Week 14 vs. the Ravens, it seems the Los Angeles Rams are finally starting to get all the good injury news heading into their Week 16 tilt with the New Orleans Saints.
