The Minnesota Vikings and Los Angeles Rams will face off on Monday in unfamiliar territory after the LA wildfires wreaked havoc this past week. As a result, the game was moved to Glendale, Arizona, after the Cardinals offered their stadium for the Rams and Vikings to close out the Wild Card schedule.

The Rams are fairly healthy heading into this matchup, and they're getting healthy at the right time after missing both Puka Nacua and Cooper Kupp for parts of the season. In their absence, the Rams turned to Demarcus Robinson and Tutu Atwell.

While the Rams are unlikely to rely too heavily on Atwell tonight against Minnesota, he will be ready to contribute as LA chases a playoff spot and the chance to face the Philadelphia Eagles in the Divisional Round.

Is Tutu Atwell playing tonight vs the Minnesota Vikings?

The Rams have no injury concerns heading into their Wild Card showdown against the Vikings. This means they will have all their wide receivers available, including Tutu Atwell.

The Rams rested several starters for their Week 18 game against the Seattle Seahawks. However, Atwell did see some game time in their regular season finale. He hauled in five of his eight targets for 37 yards in what was eventually a 30-25 loss.

In any case, with Cooper Kupp and Puka Nacua in the thick of things, coach Sean McVay is unlikely to call upon Atwell's services all that much, though he could come in handy given the state of this Minnesota defense under Brian Flores.


Minnesota Vikings vs LA Rams prediction

We don't expect this to be a high-scoring game despite the talent on offer.

We also didn't see all that much from Sam Darnold when they faced the Detroit Lions in their Week 18 finale. You also have to consider that the Rams, as currently constructed, have several players with postseason experience.

They also have a win against the Vikings already on the board. With that in mind, we predict a closely fought win for LA, though don't expect either team to score above 24 points tonight at the State Farm Stadium in Glendale.
