Rams Face Seahawks With Davante Adams' Status in Doubt, Konata Mumpfield Set for Expanded Role

The staff plans a committee with the seventh-rounder in the X spot, with expectations tempered by his modest production.

Overview

  • Adams suffered a Week 15 hamstring injury and did not practice Tuesday, leaving his Thursday availability uncertain on a short turnaround.
  • Rookie Konata Mumpfield took most of Adams’ vacated snaps on Sunday and is in line to operate at the true X receiver spot opposite Puka Nacua.
  • Offensive coordinator Mike LaFleur praised Mumpfield’s reliability and traits, while Nacua referred to him as Adams’ apprentice.
  • Los Angeles expects to replace Adams through a committee that could also feature Tutu Atwell and tight end Colby Parkinson in specific situations.
  • Mumpfield has logged a 38–45% snap share over the past four games but has just five receptions for 42 yards and one touchdown this season.
