Adams Injury Update

The Los Angeles Rams decided against trading for another wide receiver before the trade deadline. Coach Sean McVay explained that the team feels optimistic about Davante Adams coming back from a hamstring injury sooner than later.

McVay previously stated that Adams would miss six to 10 weeks after suffering a ruptured semitendinosus during a Week 6 loss to the Cardinals. On Wednesday, McVay mentioned that a return after the team hosts the Green Bay Packers in Week 12 is a realistic timeline.

More Receiver Woes

The Rams are also missing wide receiver Puka Nacua. He hurt his right knee and toe during a game against the Washington Commanders.

McVay stated that the team will not put Nacua on injured reserve for roster reasons, but the player will still miss an extended period. Nacua recently recorded 25 catches across two games, while the rest of the squad combined for 18 in that same span.

Roster Changes

The team made several other moves on Tuesday. Wide receiver Xavier Smith was signed to the active roster, having spent the first three weeks of the season with the team before being cut. Meanwhile, wide receiver Jordan Whittington went on injured reserve due to a back injury.

Coach McVay also spoke about tight end Terrance Ferguson, who injured his ankle in Week 3 and returned to practice last week. Ferguson then hurt his hamstring on Friday, keeping him out for a couple of weeks. The Rams aim to open a roster spot for him before his practice window closes to avoid keeping him on injured reserve for the rest of the season.
