Coach Sean McVay said Adams could be back after the Week 12 game against the Packers, with the team targeting a Week 13 return against the Chiefs.\n\nThe Rams opted not to add a receiver at the trade deadline, a decision that looks more reasonable if Adams is truly close. \"We're optimistic Davante's return is sooner than later, which is a big deal to us,\" McVay said.\n\nThe timing matters more than usual because Puka Nacua is expected to be out for an extended period of time, leaving the Rams thin at receiver. Adams coming back healthy would give Los Angeles a legitimate top target again heading into the stretch run, and fantasy managers searching the waiver wire have taken notice of a player who was a major difference-maker before the injury.\n\nLos Angeles plays the Packers in Week 12 before the planned return date against Kansas City in Week 13.","published_at":"2026-11-11T23:33:22.872608+00:00","source_count":4,"written_from":[{"outlet":"Yahoo Sports","publisher":"Yahoo Sports","title":"Waiver Wire Watch: Is Davante Adams a Secret Weapon Stash for the Fantasy Football Playoffs?","url":"https://sports.yahoo.com/articles/waiver-wire-watch-davante-adams-214130140.html"},{"outlet":"The Athletic","publisher":"The Athletic","title":"Rams targeting Week 13 return for Davante Adams; Puka Nacua out 'extended period of time'","url":"https://www.nytimes.com/athletic/7774400/2026/11/11/rams-davante-adams-return-puka-nacua-injury/"},{"outlet":"Pro Football Talk","publisher":"NBC Sports","title":"Sean McVay: Davante Adams could return after Week 12 game vs. Packers","url":"https://www.nbcsports.com/nfl/profootballtalk/rumor-mill/news/sean-mcvay-davante-adams-could-return-after-week-12-game-vs-packers"}],"more_coverage":[{"outlet":"Yahoo Sports","publisher":"Yahoo Sports","title":"Sean McVay: Davante Adams could return after Week 12 game vs. Packers","url":"https://sports.yahoo.com/articles/sean-mcvay-davante-adams-could-210454146.html"},{"outlet":"Yahoo Sports","publisher":"Yahoo Sports","title":"Rams targeting Davante Adams to return in Week 13 vs. Chiefs; Puka Nacua to miss 'significant' time","url":"https://sports.yahoo.com/nfl/breaking-news/article/rams-targeting-davante-adams-to-return-in-week-13-vs-chiefs-puka-nacua-to-miss-significant-time-213849671.html"},{"outlet":"Yahoo Sports","publisher":"Yahoo Sports","title":"Rams optimistic Davante Adams could return after Week 12","url":"https://sports.yahoo.com/articles/rams-optimistic-davante-adams-could-214618860.html"},{"outlet":"New York Post","publisher":"New York Post","title":"Rams get major Davante Adams injury update as receiver room crumbles","url":"https://nypost.com/2026/11/11/sports/rams-davante-adams-injury-update-sean-mcvay-receiver-crisis/"},{"outlet":"Yahoo Sports","publisher":"Yahoo Sports","title":"McVay says Rams couldn't find a good trade for a receiver.
