Overview
- The Rams placed Adams on injured reserve after he suffered a ruptured left semitendinosus in their Week 6 loss to the Cardinals and will require surgery with an estimated six-to-10-week recovery window.
- Head coach Sean McVay said the team has not held internal talks about adding a wide receiver, while outside reporting indicates the club is expected to at least explore trade-market options.
- Puka Nacua is set to remain the Rams’ primary target and Konata Mumpfield is slated to move into the WR2 role as existing receivers and tight ends absorb increased targets.
- The team is juggling multiple other injuries to key players and sits 2–4, heightening the short-term stakes for roster decisions ahead of the trade deadline.
- Adams is a six-time Pro Bowler and three-time First-Team All-Pro in the second year of a two-year deal signed in March 2025, and he entered the injury having 30 catches for 480 yards and four touchdowns in six games.
