Overview
- ESPN's Jeremy Fowler reports the Rams could shut down Davante Adams for Weeks 17 and 18 to have him ready for the postseason, with similar expectations noted by Adam Schefter and Ian Rapoport.
- Sean McVay listed Adams as doubtful for Monday at Atlanta, and a team source told ESPN it would not be a surprise if he also sits Week 18 at Arizona.
- Adams remains week-to-week after re-aggravating a hamstring injury on Dec. 14 against Detroit and missing the Week 16 loss to Seattle.
- Los Angeles showed it can produce without Adams, rolling up a season-high 581 yards in Week 16 with Puka Nacua functioning as the primary threat.
- The Rams have clinched a playoff berth but still face significant seeding outcomes, including a path to the NFC West crown or the No. 1 seed if they win out.
