Update:

Good news has arrived for the Los Angeles Rams, as wide receiver Davante Adams will return for the playoffs after recovering from a hamstring injury that sidelined him for the past three games. He is expected to be available without restrictions for the Wild Card Round matchup against the Carolina Panthers.

Despite missing the closing stretch of the regular season, Adams led the NFL with 14 touchdown receptions, underscoring his impact within Sean McVay’s offense. In the November 30 meeting against Carolina, Adams caught two touchdown passes, although the Rams ultimately fell 31–28 in that contest.

Adams forms one of the league’s most dangerous receiving tandems alongside Puka Nacua, giving the Rams one of the most explosive passing attacks in the NFL. That pairing has positioned Los Angeles as a legitimate Super Bowl contender heading into the postseason.

In addition to Adams’ return, the Rams are also hopeful of welcoming back safety Quentin Lake. Lake finished second on the team with 10 passes defended and has not played since November 16 due to an elbow injury, but his potential availability would further strengthen a defense entering the playoffs at full throttle.
