Davante Adams Sits Out Practice—Will He Still Take the Field?

Davante Adams sat out Wednesday’s practice session nursing an oblique injury, but Sean McVay remains optimistic — the wideout is slated to suit up this Sunday. It’s a bit nerve-wracking, right? Watching a key player like Adams sidelined even briefly has fans biting their nails. Still, McVay’s confidence talks volumes: Adams himself is telling the coach he’s feeling up to the task. That trust? It’s not blind. Come Sunday, the Rams’ offensive weapon, who’s been a touchdown machine with nine league-leading scores this season, will be back on the field. You gotta admire that grit — six catches, 77 yards, and a TD in their recent victory over the 49ers, despite leaving early due to what was first thought to be a back injury. Meanwhile, injuries pepper the roster with defensive end Kobie Turner missing practice and Jordan Whittington limited, but cornerback Darious Williams is firing on all cylinders. It’s a tense buildup, yet hope hangs thick in the air as the Rams prepare to charge forward. LEARN MORE

Davante Adams did not practice on Wednesday with his oblique injury, but Rams coach Sean McVay expects the wide receiver to play Sunday.

“He’s making good progress,” McVay said, via Stu Jackson of the team website. “That’s what he tells me (that he expects to play). He’s feeling good, and so I trust the man. He’ll be ready.”

Adams had six receptions for 77 yards and a touchdown in the Rams’ win over the 49ers on Sunday. He left in the second half with what the team initially called a back injury.

Adams has 42 receptions for 568 yards and a league-leading nine touchdowns this season.

Defensive end Kobie Turner (back) also didn’t practice.

Wide receiver Jordan Whittington (back) was limited, and cornerback Darious Williams (shoulder) was a full participant.
