Sean McVay: Tutu Atwell trade had "nothing to do" with possible Puka Nacua suspension
NBC Sports • • sports
Key Points:
- The Rams reacquired wide receiver Tutu Atwell in a trade with the Dolphins, aiming to add depth and speed to their receiving corps.
- Questions arose about whether the trade was related to potential disciplinary action against Puka Nacua, who faces a lawsuit alleging biting and antisemitic remarks.
- Head coach Sean McVay denied any connection between the Atwell trade and Nacua’s legal issues, emphasizing the move was purely for adding depth with a familiar player.
- Atwell’s previous time with the Rams saw limited impact, but the team is giving him another opportunity to contribute this season.
- The Rams’ need for receiver depth extends beyond concerns about Nacua, and Atwell’s familiarity with the system made him a preferred choice over unfamiliar players.
