Davante Adams Set to Return for Rams' Wild Card vs Panthers After Hamstring, Knee Scare

Adams says his hamstring feels great after a cautious ramp-up, following evaluation of a separate knee issue.

Overview

  • The veteran receiver is expected to play Saturday against Carolina after missing the final three regular-season games.
  • He told reporters his hamstring "feels great" and disclosed knee soreness that surfaced the night of the injury and was later evaluated.
  • Adams said bailing out on the Week 15 route helped him avoid a worse setback, and the Rams then took a conservative approach to his return.
  • Los Angeles went 1-2 without him and its red-zone touchdown rate fell from 66.2% over the first 14 games to 46.1% across the last three.
  • He finished the regular season with an NFL-best 14 receiving touchdowns and is viewed as a pivotal complement to Puka Nacua with Matthew Stafford.
