Summarised from 4 outlets · 6 reports · Updated 19 Oct, 23:19 · Archive

Los Angeles Rams wide receiver Davante Adams will miss six to 10 weeks with a ruptured hamstring sustained in Sunday's 18-16 loss to Arizona.

Davante Adams suffered a ruptured hamstring in the closing moments of Sunday's 18-16 loss to the Arizona Cardinals at home. Head coach Sean McVay announced on Monday that the injury will sideline the 33-year-old for six to 10 weeks. The future Hall of Famer sustained the injury on a non-contact play late in the game, pulling up in the end zone and limping off the field.

Adams has recorded 30 receptions for 480 yards and four touchdowns this season, his second with the Rams. McVay acknowledged the severity of the loss, saying 'His contributions can't be measured. You don't replace somebody like him.' The team now faces a depth crisis at wide receiver, with Konata Mumpfield ranking third on the squad with eight receptions for 127 yards.

The injury is the latest blow to a Rams team that fell to 2-4 on Sunday. On Tuesday, McVay revealed that defensive tackle Poona Ford has ruptured his triceps and will miss the remainder of the season, while defensive end Kobie Turner will be sidelined for four to six weeks with a groin injury. Star edge rusher Myles Garrett has already missed the past five games with a knee issue and has been ruled out for the upcoming game against Las Vegas.
