Rams head coach Sean McVay said Davante Adams could be ready to return following the Week 12 matchup with Green Bay, potentially putting the receiver back in action against the Chiefs on Thursday night in Week 13.

Speaking to reporters, McVay expressed optimism about Adams’ recovery and described a return after the Packers game as a realistic possibility. Adams has not played since injuring his hamstring during the Oct. 18 defeat against the Cardinals. His 2026 totals stand at 30 receptions, 480 yards and four touchdowns.

The Rams next face the Cardinals before a shortened Week 11 bye. Green Bay then visits for a Wednesday night contest in Week 12, the NFL’s first Thanksgiving Eve game.

The receiving group is also without Puka Nacua, who hurt his knee late in the victory over the Commanders. Nacua is expected to miss an extended period, leaving the Rams dealing with injuries to both receivers.
