There hasn't been much positive injury news for the Los Angeles Rams lately, as both Myles Garrett and Terrance Ferguson will remain on injured reserve for at least another week. Davante Adams is also on IR and was given a 6-to-10-week timeline for his return, but Sean McVay did have an encouraging update on when the Rams could get their receiver back.
McVay told reporters Wednesday that Adams will probably return "closer to the shorter term" of the 6-to-10-week timeline, which means he could be back in the mix shortly after the team's Week 11 bye. Adams ruptured his hamstring in Week 6 against the Cardinals and underwent surgery on it recently.
Adams already missed last week's game against the Raiders, which was his first of the season. He's
required to miss at least three more while on injured reserve.
Sean McVay said Davante Adams had successful clean out surgery on his hamstring and “it’s probably closer to the shorter term” of the 6-10 week timeline for Adams.

Adams has caught 30 passes for 480 yards and four touchdowns this season after leading the NFL with 14 scores in 2025. He stepped up in a big way when Puka Nacua missed two games, catching 15 passes for 332 yards and two touchdowns in those contests.
The Rams have gotten very little out of their backup receivers, so they need Adams back as soon as possible. He and Nacua have only played four games together this season; Nacua missed two games and Adams has missed one.
