Davante Adams will have surgery on his ruptured hamstring, with the Rams wide receiver hoping the procedure keeps him on the front end of the 6-10 week recovery timeline. Jeremy Fowler reports Adams will be repaired by renowned surgeon Dr. Neal ElAttrache.
Jeremy Fowler (@JFowlerESPN): Rams WR Davante Adams will undergo a procedure to repair his ruptured hamstring via renowned Dr Neal ElAttrache, per source. Adams hopes to return on the front end of the 6-10 week timeframe, as close to the post-Week-11 bye as possible, the source said.
Adams sustained the non-contact injury late in Sunday's loss to the Cardinals, and coach Sean McVay confirmed Monday that the franchise receiver would miss 6-10 weeks. The timeline makes a return close to the Rams' post-Week-11 bye the optimistic scenario — a target Adams is reportedly aiming for.
The injury caps a brutal weekend for Los Angeles: defensive tackles Poona Ford (season-ending) and Kobie Turner (4-6 weeks) are also sidelined, and kicker Blake Grupe went on injured reserve Monday. The Rams are 2-4 and now face the back half of the season without their most productive pass catcher.
