The plunge into hell continues for the Los Angeles Rams.

Rams star wide receiver Davante Adams is expected to miss 6-to-10 weeks with a hamstring injury that he sustained during the team’s Week 6 loss to the Arizona Cardinals, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reported on Monday. Rapoport adds that Adams is expected to undergo surgery on his hamstring tendon in order to clean it out.

Adams suffered a non-contact injury in the second half of the Rams’ 18-16 defeat to the Cardinals at SoFi Stadium in Inglewood, Calif. Here is the video of the play.

The 33-year-old Adams had caught 30 passes for 480 yards and four touchdowns over the first six games of the season. He had looked resurgent at times (especially during fellow receiver Puka Nacua’s earlier injury absence) and was even getting some of his vintage swagger back.

But now the six-time Pro Bowler Adams will likely miss roughly the next two months of the season because of his hamstring ailment. The Rams have their bye week coming up in Week 11, but Adams’ absence will almost certainly stretch into December with the given timeline.

After the loss to Arizona, the Rams now sit at a disappointing 2-4 this season. Myles Garrett, Trent McDuffie, and Kobie Turner are among the other Rams who are currently hurt, and even their kicker just suffered a fluke injury during a tackle attempt on Sunday.
