Rams star Davante Adams tore his hamstring on Sunday. He will miss six to ten weeks.
He was running a route into the end zone. No defender touched him. He pulled up with 1:18 left.
Coach Sean McVay said Adams ruptured his semitendinosus. That is a full tear in a thigh muscle.
The injury struck late in an 18-16 home loss to the Arizona Cardinals in Week 6.
Adams had 30 catches for 480 yards and four touchdowns in six games this season.
He is a six-time Pro Bowler and three-time first-team All-Pro in his 13th NFL season.
Los Angeles has lost three of its last four games. The playoff climb is getting steep.
Poona Ford and kicker Blake Grupe are out for the season. Kobie Turner misses 4-6 weeks.
Pass rusher Myles Garrett has missed five games after knee surgery. He will not practice this week.
Puka Nacua leads the receivers now. Konata Mumpfield should see more targets right away.
Adams will likely go on injured reserve. He could return in December if healing goes well.
