Overview
- Adams was removed from Los Angeles’ injury report on Thursday and will play Saturday in Charlotte after missing Weeks 16–18 with a hamstring strain and knee soreness.
- He told reporters his hamstring “feels great” and said he eased up on the Week 15 route to prevent further damage, later realizing he also had a knee issue.
- In his absence, the Rams converted 46.1% of 13 red-zone trips, down from 66.2% over the first 14 games.
- Despite missing the final three games, Adams finished the regular season with 60 receptions for 789 yards and an NFL-leading 14 touchdown catches.
- Los Angeles went 1–2 without Adams and now seeks to avenge a 31-28 Week 13 loss in Carolina with Matthew Stafford and Puka Nacua both available.
