Tutu Atwell’s first NFL training camp hasn’t gotten off to the start he was probably hoping for. The Rams said Monday that Atwell has been placed on the reserve/COVID-19 list after reporting for camp on Sunday.
If Atwell is vaccinated, he will be able to return to the team after testing negative twice 24 hours apart. If he is unvaccinated, he will have to quarantine for 10 days, which is the same rule the NFL instituted last year when a player tested positive for COVID-19.
Atwell is the first Rams player to be placed on the COVID-19 list, but the only players who have reported for camp so far are the rookies and quarterbacks.
The Rams selected Atwell in the second round of the draft this year, adding the explosive receiver to a room already filled with talented pass catchers.
