Rams’ Davante Adams Reinjures Hamstring; MRI Pending, Week 16 in Doubt

Early indications point to Adams sitting Thursday pending MRI results.

Overview

  • Adams pulled up on a fourth-quarter route in the 41-34 win over the Lions, exited and did not return.
  • Sean McVay said the injury “didn’t look good,” expressing skepticism about a Thursday turnaround in Seattle though he stopped short of ruling Adams out.
  • Ian Rapoport reported an MRI is forthcoming and called it hard to imagine Adams plays this week, adding the hope is a return by the playoffs.
  • An NFL doctor publicly projected Adams will miss Week 16 and possibly more time depending on the strain grade, emphasizing uncertainty until imaging.
  • Adams leads the NFL with 14 receiving touchdowns, and his potential absence would weigh on a divisional game between 11-3 teams as the Rams adjust targets to Puka Nacua and others, with Tutu Atwell available.
