The Rams are not exactly bludgeoning the rest of the NFL like was predicted by many throughout this past off-season, but LA is hanging around and is firmly in the NFC playoff discussion.
Sean McVay’s club may soon get a boost from the return of WR Davante Adams, who ruptured his hamstring in Week 6.
Below, we will dish out an Adams injury update and look at when the veteran receiver will be back and return to the Rams’ lineup.
Davante Adams fantasy football injury update: When will WR return?
Adams suffered a ruptured semitendinosus in the fourth quarter of Week 6 against the Arizona Cardinals while running a route.
The WR underwent a successful cleanup procedure by Dr. Neal ElAttrache in October.
The initial timeline for Adams’ return was 6-10 weeks. Rams head coach Sean McVay said in late October that Adams’ recovery would be on the shorter side of that timeframe.
Exactly six weeks from the time of the injury would be Sunday, November 29. The Rams’ first game after that date is Thursday, December 3 at home against the Kansas City Chiefs.
Here is a look at the Rams’ schedule around the time that Adams is projected to return.
- Week 13 Thursday, December 3: Chiefs at Rams
- Week 14 Sunday, December 13: Rams at 49ers
- Week 15 Sunday, December 20: Cowboys at Rams
- Week 16 Friday, December 25: Rams at Seahawks
