Rams Keep Tutu Atwell on IR This Week, Ruling Him Out vs. Cardinals

McVay cites roster balance as the reason for keeping the receiver on IR.

Overview

  • Coach Sean McVay said Friday that Tutu Atwell will not be activated this week and is ruled out for Sunday against Arizona.
  • Atwell injured his hamstring in Week 7, re-aggravated it, and was placed on injured reserve prior to Week 9.
  • He has now missed six consecutive games, remaining on IR despite being in a 21-day practice window.
  • The Rams have one week left to either activate him to the 53-man roster or leave him on season-ending IR.
  • McVay framed the decision as a roster-spot and game-day balance issue, while Atwell’s season includes just four catches for 164 yards and one touchdown on a fully guaranteed $10 million deal.
