Tutu Atwell is in the concussion protocol, per Rams spokesperson.

Atwell left the game in the second quarter and it opened the door for Robinson to see more playing time. He finished with a 3-46-1 line on 10 targets. The trend has been for players to miss a game when placed in protocol so this could be a situation to watch heading into Week 15 for Atwell. It would be tough to trust Robinson in typical leagues, especially running behind Kupp and Nacua.

Sean McVay says Puka Nacua has an AC sprain.

Rodrigue went on to say the team may be careful with Nacua with some rest early in the practice week, but she added it sounds like McVay expects him to play Sunday. The Rams have an early game at the Ravens in Week 14.

The Rams activated running back Kyren Williams from injured reserve.

Williams is eligible and is expected to play Sunday against the Cardinals. Williams had been out with an ankle injury suffered October 15 against the Cardinals. Williams is immediately back to being an RB1 option on our board heading into a very nice matchup against Arizona. Williams rushed 20 times for 158 yards and a touchdown against Arizona before the injury.

Sean McVay said WR Cooper Kupp will play on Sunday against Arizona.

With Kupp active, you've got to get him in your lineup. Along with Nacua, they can be considered WR1/2s, with Atwell getting knocked down the pecking order as a desperation FLEX option

Rams officially designated RB Kyren Williams to return to practice today and he is expected to play Sunday vs. Arizona.

If Williams is active he should immediately return to taking over this backfield, as it has turned into a liability since his departure.

The Rams announced on Tuesday that they have waived Henderson off of their roster.

Henderson was signed to the active roster early this month and he ran 46 times for 112 yards and two touchdowns in four appearances. He also caught 10 passes for 103 yards. But Williams is expected to be back for Week 12 and it looks like the Rams will go with Freeman as the RB2, at least until Rivers comes off the IR.

Sean McVay said the Rams will get RB Kyren Williams back against the Cardinals.

Williams has been on IR with an ankle injury, but because of the bye it's been five weeks since he was hurt. Williams should be ready to go in a good matchup in Week 12. With Rivers still on IR, the backup duties will go to either Henderson or Freeman or a combination of both. It may not be fair to expect a huge workload from Williams his first week back in the fold, but he should at least have higher-end RB2 value vs. the Cardinals.

Rams receiver Cooper Kupp had to exit Sunday’s game due to injury, but it doesn’t sound like he’ll miss too much time — if any at all.

Per Ian Rapoport of NFL Media, Kupp is dealing with a low-ankle sprain and the club will evaluate him over the course of the week.

The story quoted HC Sean McVay: “He was going to try to come back and play,” McVay said in his postgame press conference. “He was moving around at the beginning of the second half and we were hoping that he’d be able to go, but it just didn’t quite feel good enough.” The Rams get the Cardinals in Week 12 and the hope is Kupp can return to the lineup.

Rams WR Cooper Kupp limped off the field with an apparent ankle injury. He has gone into the locker room.

Kupp had his ankle stepped on while blocking on a run play. Video surfaced of him being checked out by trainers. We'll get more word down the line, but for now, Kupp is out.

Rams QB Matthew Stafford will be a full participant in practice today, per coach Sean McVay.

Stafford will be an immediate boost to Puka Nacua and Cooper Kupp, even if he's not 100%. As for his own fantasy projection, Stafford can be considered a streamer in a difficult waiver wire week.
