Rams' Tutu Atwell: Nabs three receptions Sunday
Tutu Atwell had three receptions off of four targets for 48 yards in Sunday's 41-10 loss to the Cardinals.Atwell bounced back from a no-catch performance in Week 1, finishing as the Los Angeles Rams' second-leading receiver following Cooper Kupp's (ankle) early departure. With the team already down Puka Nacua (knee), Atwell could find himself in an increased role for Sunday's upcoming tilt against the 49ers.

Rams' Tutu Atwell: Invisible in defeat
Tutu Atwell played six snaps and didn't record a target during Sunday's 26-20 overtime loss to the Lions.Despite being held out through the entire preseason, Atwell barely took the field Sunday, even after Puka Nacua (knee) left the game. Tyler Johnson (5-79-0) took over as the tertiary wideout and was on the field for 51 snaps, which signals that he'll likely step in as the No. 3 wide receiver behind Cooper Kupp and Demarcus Robinson if Nacua misses time. Atwell's role seems set as a depth option for head coach Sean McVay, and an increased workload seems unlikely against the Cardinals in Week 2.

Rams' Tutu Atwell: Getting chance at No. 3 job
Tutu Atwell is competing with Demarcus Robinson for the No. 3 WR role but may ultimately fall further down the depth chart, Cameron DaSilva of Los Angeles Rams Wire reports.Atwell lost said role to Robinson down the stretch last season, despite starting the year strong while Cooper Kupp was sidelined by a hamstring injury. Atwell had 246 receiving yards Weeks 1-3, and then just 237 yards over 13 subsequent regular-season appearances (though he did score a 38-yard TD on his lone target in a playoff loss to Detroit). The 2021 second-round pick now seems likely to land in a depth role for the final year of his rookie contract, with some risk of falling behind not only Robinson but also sixth-round pick Jordan Whittington.

Rams' Tutu Atwell: Falls out of starting role
Tutu Atwell finished the 2023 regular season with 39 receptions for 483 yards and three touchdowns and five rushes for 31 yards.This season was supposed to be the next step up for the big-play threat, and in his first four games he looked like he was on that path as he put up an impressive 22-270-1 receiving line. Things went downhill from there, however, as Atwell put together just 11 catches for 197 yards and two touchdowns over his next seven games before losing his starting role to Demarcus Robinson. In the Los Angeles Rams' playoff loss to the Lions, Atwell burned past Kindle Vildor for a 38-yard touchdown but didn't get another touch the rest of the way, similar to the final six games of the regular season with just 40 snaps on offense before being used as a starter in the season finale with Puka Nacua, Cooper Kupp and Robinson all getting rest. Atwell has one year remaining on his rookie contract, but with Nacua and Kupp now entrenched as the top two targets for Matthew Stafford, it'll be difficult for the Louisville product to carve out a role beyond the third or fourth option at wide receiver.

Rams' Tutu Atwell: Miserable day as starter
Tutu Atwell caught two of four targets for seven yards and rushed once for minus-4 yards during Sunday's 21-20 victory against San Francisco. He also recorded a two-point conversion.With Cooper Kupp (coach's decision) out and Puka Nacua and Demarcus Robinson's time on the field capped to keep them healthy for the playoffs, Atwell took the field for 64 of the Los Angeles Rams' 67 snaps on offense, his highest snap share since Week 8 against the Cowboys. Despite the increased role, Atwell managed only a pair of short gains on his two catches, and another pass attempt from quarterback Carson Wentz went straight through Atwell's hands and was intercepted by 49ers safety Tayler Hawkins. While a 39-483-3 receiving line over 16 games this season is an improvement over the Louisville product's rookie campaign, it still has to be considered a disappointment given the expectation of a much bigger role for Atwell. The rise of Robinson in recent weeks as a starter alongside Kupp and Nacua has relegated Atwell to a backup role entering the playoffs.

Rams' Tutu Atwell: Cleared for Thursday
Tutu Atwell (concussion) doesn't have a designation for Thursday's game against the Saints.After Adam Schefter of ESPN reported Monday that Atwell cleared concussion protocol, the wide receiver then was listed as a full participant on all three of the Los Angeles Rams' Week 16 injury reports. Atwell thus will work behind starting wide receivers Cooper Kupp and Puka Nacua on Thursday, an arrangement that hasn't afforded the third-year pro many looks in the passing game when the latter two players are available. Kupp and Nacua have played in every game since Week 5, resulting in Atwell settling for a cumulative 15-206-2 line on 28 targets over his last nine contests.

Rams' Tutu Atwell: Listed as full on practice estimate
Tutu Atwell (concussion) was a full participant at Tuesday's walkthrough, Adam Caplan of SiriusXM NFL Radio reports.Atwell was listed the same way on Monday's practice estimate, but the Los Angeles Rams actually logged some on-field work one day later. There's an expectation from Sean McVay that Atwell will return from a one-game absence Thursday at New Orleans after making his way through the concussion protocol as of Monday, per Adam Schefter of ESPN. Nevertheless, Atwell has surpassed 30 receiving yards just twice over his last 10 appearances en route to a cumulative 20-230-2 line on 37 targets and two carries for eight yards during that stretch.

Rams' Tutu Atwell: Expected to play Thursday
Coach Sean McVay said Monday that Tutu Atwell (concussion) is expected to play Thursday versus the Saints, Gary Klein of the Los Angeles Times reports. Per Adam Schefter of ESPN, Atwell has cleared the NFL's five-step concussion protocol.Atwell wasn't able to suit up for Sunday's win over the Commanders while working his way through the protocol for head injuries, but he's been cleared for Week 16. In his last four appearances, Atwell has failed to surpass three targets, so he'll likely work in a depth role behind Cooper Kupp and Puka Nacua on Thursday.

Rams' Tutu Atwell: Inactive as expected Sunday
Tutu Atwell (concussion) is inactive for Sunday's game against the Commanders, Gary Klein of the Los Angeles Times reports.Early Sunday reports indicated Atwell was trending toward not playing versus Washington, and his absence is now official. With the third-year pro apparently not having gained clearance from an independent neurologist, veteran Demarcus Robinson, who produced a 3-46-1 line on 10 targets in the Week 14 overtime loss to the Ravens, is slated to work as the No. 3 receiver for the Los Angeles Rams behind the starting duo of Cooper Kupp and Puka Nacua.

Rams' Tutu Atwell: Unlikely to play
Tutu Atwell (concussion), who is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Commanders, is considered unlikely to play, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.Atwell never upgraded to full practice participation this week and doesn't appear to have passed the final phase of the five-step concussion protocol -- gaining clearance from an independent neurologist -- so he looks on track to miss his first game of the season. Official word on Atwell's status will arrive when the Los Angeles Rams release their inactive list approximately 90 minutes before Sunday's 4:05 p.m. ET kickoff. Assuming Atwell isn't available, Demarcus Robinson would likely serve as the Rams' No. 3 receiver behind Cooper Kupp and Puka Nacua.
