what happened to davante adams

Davante Adams is currently playing for the Los Angeles Rams and recently missed time with a hamstring (and minor knee) injury, but he has returned and is active for their playoff run.

Current situation

• Adams injured his hamstring running a deep route in a December 14 game against the Detroit Lions, which also revealed a knee issue, and he missed the final three regular-season games.

• As of early January 2026, he has been cleared to return and is expected to play in the Rams’ wild-card playoff game against the Carolina Panthers.

How he’s playing now

• In his first season with the Rams, Adams caught 60 passes for 789 yards and led the entire NFL with 14 receiving touchdowns despite the late-season injury and three missed games.

• Rams coach Sean McVay and Adams both expressed confidence that he can again be a major red-zone threat alongside quarterback Matthew Stafford in the postseason.

Contract and future chatter

• Adams, now 33, signed a two-year deal with the Rams and has been a central piece of their offense, especially near the goal line.

• There has been some speculative discussion that he could be an offseason cap casualty because the Rams could save money by cutting him after June 1, but this is a financial projection, not a report that he is definitely being released.

Key career / trending notes

• Adams has 117 career touchdown catches, the most among active players and seventh all time, which keeps him in the spotlight whenever injury or contract news comes up.

• His recent absence and return have been a trending topic because it is his first postseason appearance since his Green Bay Packers days, and the Rams are viewed as legitimate Super Bowl contenders this year.
