Davante Adams News Emerges Before Cardinals Game

Originally posted on Athlon Sports | By Nate Lunak | Last updated Dec 5, 2025 3:03 PM ET

Davante Adams and the Los Angeles Rams face the Arizona Cardinals in Week 14. They look to bounce back after losing to the Carolina Panthers 31-28 last week.

In that loss, Adams was targeted five times, hauling in four receptions for 58 yards and two touchdowns. In his first season with the Rams, he's emerging as one of the top options for quarterback Matthew Stafford.

At 9-3, they're looking to win the NFC West for the second year in a row and third straight playoff appearance. The six-time Pro Bowler has yet to miss a game this season, but popped up on the injury report.

In the Rams' first two injury reports of Week 14, the wide receiver was listed as a non-participant on Wednesday and a limited participant on Thursday due to a hamstring injury.

However, on Friday, ESPN's Jeremy Fowler reported that Adams should be good to go against the Cardinals.

"Despite some practice rest this week, Rams WR Davante Adams (hamstring) is expected to play Sunday barring surprise, per source," Fowler wrote.

Through 12 games, the 32-year-old has been targeted 99 times, hauling in 52 receptions, 689 yards and 14 touchdowns (leads the NFL).

"He's doing a great job of getting open down there," Stafford said of Adams following the team's Week 9 win over the New Orleans Saints. "I'm putting it in some spots where he can go make his plays and that's awesome."

The Cardinals' defense has struggled, ranking 20th in passing yards per game allowed (219.6). Having Adams on the field gives the Rams a better chance of exploiting that weakness.

Despite Fowler's report being positive, Los Angeles does not have to announce whether or not Adams is active until 90 minutes before kickoff. The game is scheduled for 4:25 p.m. ET at State Farm Stadium, airing on Fox.
