Davante Adams has been managing a hamstring injury for the last two weeks, popping up on the injury report leading up to the Los Angeles Rams’ game against the Arizona Cardinals in Week 14. It’s lingered into this week’s prep for the Detroit Lions but it shouldn’t impact his availability for Sunday’s game.

After Adams missed two straight practices on Wednesday and Thursday, Sean McVay provided an update on the star receiver’s status on Friday. He told reporters that although Adams will be listed as questionable, he’s expected to play.

McVay said he would be “very surprised” if Adams isn’t able to play against the Lions, which is a strong indication that he’ll be good to go this weekend.

Adams has yet to miss a game this season despite managing two separate hamstring injuries and an oblique issue since Week 4, taking great care of his body this late in his career. It’s important for him to be available, given the weapon he’s been in the red zone for Matthew Stafford.

Adams leads the league with 14 touchdown receptions this season, accounting for more than a third of Stafford’s 35 touchdowns on the year.

The Rams face the Lions at 4:25 p.m. ET on Sunday afternoon, hosting Dan Campbell’s team at SoFi Stadium for the first time since 2021.
