Tutu Atwell, the versatile Rams receiver and former quarterback, expressed his enthusiasm for the potential of joining the U.S. Olympic flag football team in 2028, a sentiment echoed by other NFL stars like Justin Jefferson. With the recent approval allowing NFL players to compete in flag football at the Olympics, Atwell highlighted the competitive spirit. Coach Sean McVay supported the decision, seeing it as a unique opportunity for players, despite concerns from existing flag football competitors regarding the influx of NFL talent. Rams quarterback Matthew Stafford also joked about the possibility of participating.

Amid discussions about this new initiative, the Rams announced the signing of David Quessenberry, a seasoned offensive lineman who has triumphed against adversity, battling illness to return to the field. This adds depth to the Rams' roster as they prepare for the upcoming season.
