Davante Adams is currently suffering from a hamstring injury that has all Los Angeles Rams fans concerned. However, according to a new report from ESPN’s Jeremy Fowler, the season is not over for the wide receiver, who has 14 touchdowns this year.

ā€œSource on Davante Adams’ hamstring flare-up: ā€˜Week to week. He has been nursing it for a while.’ He’s been limited in practices with a hamstring issue for multiple weeks, re-aggravated it Sunday. He’ll rest with hopes of returning soon,ā€ Fowler reported on X.

Adams is currently the second-best receiver the Rams have, so losing him entirely before the game against the Eagles is not an option. His 789 receiving yards demonstrate how valuable he has been to the offense, and he also leads the team in touchdowns, surpassing Nacua and Parkinson, who have 12 touchdowns combined.

Xavier Smith is another name that could be added to the list to help the team in the game, with 11 receptions for 173 yards this season. Tutu Atwell will likely see more minutes on the field, as he has one touchdown, 5 receptions, and 173 yards this season, making him a potential key contributor for the Rams.

As the report indicates, Adams has played through limitations for part of the season, but as a veteran, he has managed to stand out among his younger teammates and will likely be able to play at least one of the final games of the regular season.
