Adams Recovery Outlook
The Rams chose not to pursue a trade for another wide receiver before the deadline because they expect Davante Adams to return from his hamstring injury sooner than later. Adams suffered a semitendinosus rupture in the Week 6 loss to the Cardinals and was initially projected to miss six to 10 weeks. A return after the Week 12 game against the Green Bay Packers is now viewed as a realistic target.
Nacua and Whittington Updates
Wide receiver Puka Nacua is dealing with a right knee and toe injury from the game against the Washington Commanders. The team will not place him on injured reserve for roster reasons, though he faces an extended absence. In his last two games Nacua recorded 25 catches. Wide receiver Jordan Whittington was placed on injured reserve with a back injury.
Roster Moves and Tight End Plans
The Rams signed Xavier Smith to the active roster after he spent the first three weeks of the season with the team earlier. They also aim to activate tight end Terrance Ferguson from injured reserve before his 21-day window expires. Ferguson hurt his ankle in Week 3, returned to practice last week, then suffered a hamstring issue that will sideline him for a couple weeks. The team wants a roster spot ready for him regardless. With three tight ends on the field the Rams lead the league with 226 plays and 1,211 yards while ranking second in touchdowns in that personnel grouping.
