Overview
- Coach Sean McVay confirmed Monday that Adams suffered a ruptured hamstring on a non-contact route late in the Rams’ 18-16 loss to the Arizona Cardinals and will miss six to ten weeks.
- Multiple reports say Adams is expected to have surgery to speed recovery and that the team will place him on injured reserve, making him unlikely for the Week 12 game against the Green Bay Packers.
- Adams entered Week 6 with 30 catches for 480 yards and four touchdowns this season and has a recent history of hamstring trouble that cost him late 2025 games.
- The loss deepens a broader Rams injury crisis that includes season-ending injuries to Poona Ford and kicker Blake Grupe plus a multi-week absence for Kobie Turner, leaving limited proven receiving depth behind Puka Nacua.
- The Rams must weigh short-term options such as promoting backups, signing free agents or pursuing a trade before the Nov. 10 deadline while the team uses its Week 11 bye to evaluate recovery timelines and roster moves.
