Summary
Davante Adams is expected to miss six to 10 weeks after injuring his hamstring in Sunday’s 18-16 loss to Arizona, with Sean McVay saying the Rams hope he can return around their Week 11 bye or shortly after.
NFL Network reported Adams will undergo a procedure to clean out his hamstring tendon, sidelining Los Angeles’ receiving-yards leader after 30 catches for 480 yards and four touchdowns through six weeks.
The injury wave spread beyond Adams: defensive tackle Poona Ford and kicker Blake Grupe are out for the season, Kobie Turner is headed to injured reserve, and Myles Garrett will not resume practicing this week.
Puka Nacua, Tyler Higbee and Colby Parkinson are set for larger offensive roles, while Aaron Donald and Braden Fiske face heavier work up front as the Rams try to cover multiple absences.
At 2-4 and last in the NFC West on tiebreakers after the Cardinals loss, Los Angeles now faces a steeper climb in the division with fewer key contributors available.
