Head coach Sean McVay confirmed that Adams is feeling better and expects him on the field this weekend. “I do, yeah,” hetold reporters. “That’s what he tells me. He’s feeling good. And so, I trust the man. He’ll be ready.”
But McVay noted that the exit was precautionary since the contest was well in hand, and he believed Adams “probably could have come back if the game was closer.”
Adams himself described the injury as a muscular issue in his side oblique region just below the ribs and said that it was “feeling better now.”
Hisperformance this season remains elite. With nine touchdown receptions, he leads the league and has vaulted into the top 10 all‑time in receiving scores.
The return of such a key veteran offers the Rams a strong offensive boost as they battle within a tight NFC West race.
Rams Eye Momentum and Depth as Davante Adams Arrives
The good news on Adams arrives at a strategic moment for the Rams. With a 7‑2 record and the division title still up for grabs, keeping their top weapons healthy matters more than ever.
The return of Adams secures not just talent but experience in a group that leaned on youth and depth earlier in the year.
Bench players and younger receivers have stepped up in Adams’ absence, but his presence keeps the room confident and allows the offense to maintain its balance.
McVay praised Adams for his continuous improvement and noted that he is “like a fine wine getting better with age.”
Maintaining roster health now becomes as important as game planning. The Rams know they must navigate a full 17‑game season while keeping their stars available for the playoff push.
