Wide receiver Davante Adams suffered a ruptured hamstring that will sideline him for six to ten weeks, while defensive tackle Poona Ford and long snapper Blake Grupe each received season‑ending blows in the loss to the Cardinals. The timing compounds a schedule that already began with a tough start.
Yahoo Sports reported the hamstring detail, CBS News confirmed Ford’s season loss, and the Rams’ own injury bulletin listed the players and added that Myles Garrett and Trent McDuffie remain under evaluation. Sports Illustrated explored how the roster might be reshaped, mentioning Kobie Turner as a potential replacement.
The open question is how the coaching staff will adjust the offense and defense with Adams and Ford unavailable.
