Overview
- Adams pulled up on a non-contact route late in the Rams’ Week 6 loss to the Cardinals and head coach Sean McVay confirmed Monday that he sustained a ruptured hamstring and will miss about six to ten weeks.
- Multiple reporters say Adams is expected to undergo surgery to speed recovery and that the Rams will place him on injured reserve, which opens a roster spot but guarantees a multi‑game absence.
- The 33-year-old had been productive this season with about 30 catches for 480 yards and four touchdowns through six games, and his red‑zone role was a key part of the Rams’ offense.
- With Adams sidelined, Puka Nacua becomes the clear lead target and the team must rely on undersized depth or add help via trade or free agency before the Nov. 10 deadline.
- The injury compounds a broader Rams crisis — including season-ending and multi-week losses on defense and special teams — and the Week 11 bye will shape any timeline for Adams’ possible return.
