Rams’ Davante Adams Out 6–10 Weeks With Ruptured Hamstring
All-Pro wide receiver Davante Adams will be sidelined for six to 10 weeks with a ruptured hamstring injury suffered during the Los Angeles Rams’ 18–16 loss to the Arizona Cardinals.
Head coach Sean McVay announced Monday that Adams is expected to miss six to 10 weeks following a non-contact injury late in Sunday’s loss. Adams was running a route toward the end zone in the fourth quarter before pulling up with the injury. He did not return to the game.
NFL insider Ian Rapoport reported that Adams is expected to undergo a procedure on the hamstring tendon, with the Rams hoping he can return around their Week 11 bye or shortly afterward.
The Rams will now be without one of their most productive offensive players for an extended period. According to ESPN, Adams has recorded 480 receiving yards on 30 receptions, along with four touchdowns on 49 targets through six games.
Adams’ injury is not the only major setback the Rams are dealing with. Cornerback Trent McDuffie is recovering from a groin injury that kept him out of Sunday’s game against Arizona. McVay said McDuffie is feeling better and progressing, but the team will determine his status for the Week 7 matchup against the Las Vegas Raiders later in the week.
Defensive tackle Poona Ford will miss the remainder of the 2026 season after suffering a ruptured triceps. Kicker Blake Grupe is also out for the season after tearing his ACL against Arizona and was placed on injured reserve Monday.
Defensive tackle Kobie Turner is expected to miss four to six weeks with a groin strain and is likely headed to injured reserve. However, the Rams intend to use an injured reserve return designation for Turner, leaving the possibility open for him to return later in the season.
Outside linebacker Myles Garrett also remains on injured reserve following knee surgery. McVay confirmed that the team will not open Garrett’s 21-day practice window during Week 6, and no return date has been established.
With several key players dealing with injuries, the Rams face a difficult stretch as they attempt to turn their season around. Adams’ absence will put additional pressure on the remaining receiving corps, including Puka Nacua, to help fill the void in the passing game.
Los Angeles will look to regroup against the Raiders in Week 7 as it tries to get back on track following its loss to Arizona.
