Rams' Davante Adams out 6 to 10 weeks with ruptured hamstring
Los Angeles Rams receiver Davante Adams tore his hamstring in Sunday's loss to the Arizona Cardinals. He will miss six to 10 weeks, coach Sean McVay said. Kicker Blake Grupe and lineman Poona Ford are out for the rest of the season after the 18-16 defeat.
Los Angeles Rams wide receiver Davante Adams ruptured his hamstring and will miss six to 10 weeks, coach Sean McVay said Monday, Yahoo Sports, ProFootballTalk and the Rams reported.
Adams, 33, was hurt in the fourth quarter of Sunday's 18-16 loss to the Arizona Cardinals, ProFootballTalk reported. He pulled up while running a route in a non-contact injury. Yahoo Sports reported that he started hopping in the back of the end zone before limping off. The Rams said he ruptured his semitendinosus, one of the hamstring muscles.
Adams leads the Rams in receiving yards, Yahoo Sports reported. He has 30 catches for 480 yards and four touchdowns in six games, ProFootballTalk reported. He was a key part of the offense while Puka Nacua missed time early in the season.
A six-week recovery would bring Adams back in December, while 10 weeks would put his return near the last two regular-season games in January, Yahoo Sports reported. The Rams are likely to place him on injured reserve.
Adams was one of several Rams hurt against Arizona. Kicker Blake Grupe tore his ACL while trying to make a tackle and is out for the season, the team reported. He was placed on injured reserve Monday. McVay said the Rams are "working on some different options" at kicker and "certainly we'll have something here in the next day or two."
Nose tackle Poona Ford ruptured his triceps and will also miss the rest of the season. Defensive lineman Kobie Turner has a groin strain and is expected to miss "a handful of weeks," McVay said. ProFootballTalk reported that Turner is headed to injured reserve and will miss four to six weeks.
Cornerback Trent McDuffie, who has a groin injury, is "progressing," McVay said. His status for Sunday's road game against the Raiders will be decided at the end of the week.
The loss dropped the Rams to 2-4, a stunning turn for a team heavily touted before the season, Yahoo Sports reported.
