Rams targeting Week 13 return for Davante Adams; Puka Nacua out ‘extended period of time’
The New York Times • • sports
Key Points:
- The Los Angeles Rams decided against making a wide receiver trade before the deadline, anticipating the return of star receiver Davante Adams soon.
- Coach Sean McVay indicated Adams is expected to return after Week 12, following a ruptured hamstring that has sidelined him for several games.
- The Rams face challenges with injuries, including Puka Nacua’s extended absence due to a sprained MCL, PCL, and turf toe, and tight end Terrance Ferguson’s ongoing recovery from a hamstring injury.
- The current wide receiver lineup includes Konata Mumpfield, Tutu Atwell, CJ Daniels, and Xavier Smith, who was recently re-signed after Jordan Whittington was placed on injured reserve.
- Despite a recent three-game winning streak, the Rams must navigate upcoming games without key offensive players, relying on depth and hopeful returns.
