INGLEWOOD, CA — The Los Angeles Rams’ pass offense has been clicking this season. But their big-time red zone threat went down with an injury Sunday.
Star wide receiver Davante Adams suffered a hamstring injury during the fourth quarter of the Rams’ 41-34 win over the Detroit Lions.
Adams was injured as he attempted to track a deep pass thrown by Matthew Stafford on third-and-3 with 12:42 on the clock in the fourth quarter. Adams stayed down on the turf for a few moments before he was helped off the field by the Rams’ medical staff. He was able to walk off the field and into the locker room under his own power.
The Rams deemed Adams questionable to return, but he never checked back into the game.
Adams produced four catches for 71 yards at the time of his injury. The veteran wideout leads the NFL with 14 receiving touchdowns this season. He was questionable going into Week 15 due to a nagging hamstring injury.
The 12-year receiver entered Week 15 with 56 catches, 718 yards and 14 touchdowns on the season.
Will Davante Adams play Week 16?
The Rams travel to Seattle on Thursday night for an NFC West showdown versus the Seattle Seahawks. Rams coach Sean McVay gave a pessimistic outlook for Adams’ availability against Seattle.
‘He was optimistic. He knows his body really well,’ McVay said of Adams. ‘We’ll see what that means. I can’t imagine that’s good for Thursday with just the short amount of time, but I certainly wouldn’t rule him out quite yet. But it didn’t look good.’
