Los Angeles Rams wide receiver Davante Adams will miss six to 10 weeks with a ruptured hamstring, head coach Sean McVay said Monday. The injury occurred during Sunday's loss to the Arizona Cardinals.
Los Angeles Rams head coach Sean McVay announced on Monday that wide receiver Davante Adams will be sidelined for six to 10 weeks due to a ruptured hamstring. The injury occurred late in the Rams' Week 6 loss to the Arizona Cardinals, which ended 18-16.
Adams, 33, suffered the injury on a non-contact play while running a route into the end zone in the fourth quarter. According to Sportsnet, Adams began limping and holding his left leg before exiting to the sideline. He finished the game with four targets for three receptions and 39 yards.
The loss of Adams adds to a growing list of injuries for the Rams, who dropped to 2-4 on the season. Kicker Blake Grupe tore his ACL during the same game and will miss the remainder of the season. Defensive tackle Kobie Turner is also headed to injured reserve with a groin injury and is expected to miss four to six weeks, according to NBC Sports. Star edge Myles Garrett continues to recover from knee surgery.
Before the injury, Adams had recorded 480 yards and four touchdowns on 30 receptions over six appearances. FOX Sports notes that Adams is eighth in the league in receiving yards this season. He joined the Rams in 2025 after being released by the New York Jets.
Draft Sharks reports that Adams accounted for 19.4% of the Rams' targets, 18.1% of catches, 27.7% of receiving yards, and 36.4% of receiving touchdowns through six games. The outlet notes that these numbers were partially inflated by wide receiver Puka Nacua missing two of those six games. With Adams out, Nacua is expected to absorb a larger share of the passing game.
While McVay stated the initial timeline of six to 10 weeks, NFL Network's Ian Rapoport reported that Adams is undergoing surgery to "clean" out his hamstring tendon. According to Rapoport, there are "hopes that he can return around the time of the bye or a little after." The Rams have a Week 11 bye, which could place Adams' return on the shorter end of the projected timeline.
The absence of Adams significantly alters the Rams' offensive outlook, particularly in the red zone. The team must adjust its passing attack without its primary target while dealing with multiple other key injuries. The Rams will face the Las Vegas Raiders in Week 7, requiring immediate adjustments to their offensive strategy.
