Rams Star Davante Adams Out 6-10 Weeks With Ruptured Hamstring
Los Angeles Rams wide receiver Davante Adams will miss 6-10 weeks with a ruptured hamstring, head coach Sean McVay announced on Monday, October 19. Adams suffered the injury on Sunday during an 18-16 loss to the Arizona Cardinals. The setback removes the leading receiver from a Los Angeles team that has fallen to 2-4 through six games.
Adams pulled up with a non-contact injury while running a route late in the fourth quarter and did not return to the game. He finished the loss with 3 catches for 39 yards. Through six games this season, Adams has 30 catches for 480 yards and 4 touchdowns, and he led the NFL with 14 touchdown catches in 2025 during his first season with the Rams.
The absence leaves Puka Nacua as the clear centerpiece of the Los Angeles passing game for the weeks ahead. The other available wide receivers for the Rams include Tutu Atwell, Jordan Whittington, and Konata Mumpfield. Los Angeles travels to face the Las Vegas Raiders in Week 7, and the Raiders enter that game at 3-3.
Adams was not the only major loss McVay confirmed on Monday from the Arizona game. Defensive tackle Kobie Turner is headed to injured reserve with a groin injury and will miss 4-6 weeks. Defensive tackle Poona Ford is out for the season with a triceps injury, and kicker Blake Grupe is out for the season with a torn ACL.
The timeline for Adams is a long one without being labeled season-ending, and his return will depend on how the next two months unfold for a Rams team that expected to contend this season. Los Angeles built its offense around Adams and Nacua as a star pairing, and that plan is now on hold until at least late November. The Rams have to find wins without their top red zone threat while the rest of the NFC West keeps moving.
