Rams to Activate Tutu Atwell From IR for Lions Game This Week

The move reverses a roster-based delay after a six-game absence with a hamstring injury.

Overview

  • Coach Sean McVay said Wednesday that Atwell will be activated off injured reserve this week before Sunday's matchup with Detroit.
  • Atwell will be added to the 53-man roster, though his offensive role and snap count remain uncertain as he returns.
  • He has not played since Oct. 19, missing four games on IR and two additional games while the team lacked roster space to activate him.
  • His availability changes the depth behind Davante Adams and Puka Nacua, with Xavier Smith, Jordan Whittington and Konata Mumpfield also in the rotation.
  • Atwell, 26, signed a one-year, $10 million deal in the offseason and has four catches for 164 yards and one touchdown this season.
