Adams signed a two-year contract with the Rams in March for a reported $46 million with $26 million guaranteed. The star pass receiver has been on fire this season, leading the NFL with nine touchdown catches. His injury in the blowout win had the Rams community holding their breath.
Coach Sean McVay said Friday morning that Adams is expected to play against the Seahawks on Sunday. The latest injury reports brought relief to a fanbase watching their playoff hopes ride on Adams staying healthy.

Adams had six catches for 75 yards and a touchdown before exiting the game. Around the 12-minute mark in the fourth quarter, he stopped mid-route and reached for his lower back on the left side of his torso before sitting on the bench with VP of sports performance Reggie Scott.
McVay said after the game that Adams “probably could have been able to come back if it was a little bit closer,” similar to Puka Nacua’s situation last week. The Rams were up big, so they held him out as a precaution.
