Rams WR Davante Adams will miss 6-10 weeks with ruptured hamstring, Sean McVay says
Los Angeles Rams head coach Sean McVay announced Monday that star wide receiver Davante Adams will miss 6 to 10 weeks due to a ruptured hamstring sustained in a 18-16 loss to the Arizona Cardinals. The 33-year-old veteran suffered the injury during a non-contact play in the fourth quarter. This development comes as part of a significant wave of injuries for the 2-4 Rams, who also lost defensive tackle Poona Ford for the season to a triceps injury and kicker Blake Grupe to a season-ending knee injury (identified as a torn ACL by some outlets). Defensive tackle Kobie Turner is also expected to miss 4 to 6 weeks with a groin injury.
