US EditionAfter ‘Lean’ Recovery Moments, Rams QB Matthew Stafford Ready for Playoffs
Davante Adams, NFL leader in receiving touchdowns, is expected to return from a hamstring injury, boosting the Rams' red-zone offense for the NFC wild-card game.
- Rams expect Davante Adams to return for Saturday's wild-card game on the road in Charlotte against the Carolina Panthers.
- After Week 15, Adams' hamstring forced him out for three games, but he returned to practice last week and warmed up before the regular-season finale after being limited on Thursday and Friday, McVay said.
- According to ESPN Research, Adams is the first player in NFL history to lead the NFL in receiving touchdowns with three different teams and he is a six-time Pro Bowl selection.
- Adams' return should ease pressure on Matthew Stafford, as the Rams' red-zone conversion was 66.2% with him but only 6 for 13 in the past three weeks, McVay said.
- With Adams expected back, the Rams still face availability questions across the roster, as Kevin Dotson, Jordan Whittington, and Shaun Dolac are all week-to-week or facing MRIs, and Rob Havenstein's recovery remains uncertain.
