Davante Adams Injury Update: What Happened to Davante Adams?
Davante Adams, the Los Angeles Rams' star wide receiver, suffered an oblique injury during the fourth quarter of their 42-26 victory over the San Francisco 49ers on November 9, 2025. He pulled up mid-route, grabbed his side, and was slow to get off the field, immediately heading to the sideline for evaluation. On X, @LindseyThiry reported that Rams WR Davante Adams said his side or oblique was hurting during the game.
Initially listed as questionable to return with a back issue, Adams did not re-enter the game as the Rams held a comfortable lead.
On X, @RamsNFL announced that WR Davante Adams is questionable to return due to a back injury.
Head coach Sean McVay provided an optimistic post-game update, clarifying it was an oblique strain and stating Adams "probably could have been able to come back if it was a little bit closer," similar to Puka Nacua's rib issue the previous week. McVay emphasized the team played it safe with the blowout win, and he expects Adams to be fine moving forward. No structural damage has been reported, and Adams was seen fighting to return before staff held him out. On X, @ProFootballDoc noted that Davante Adams left the game late with a back injury, wanted to return, but was held out by the staff and is expected to be fine for next week.
Before exiting, Adams contributed solidly: 6 receptions on 8 targets for 77 yards and 1 touchdown, his ninth score of the season, the most since 2022. He's been a key part of the Rams' high-powered offense alongside Nacua, helping extend their win streak to four games and improve to 7-2.
As of November 10, no further tests or setbacks are mentioned, and the injury is viewed as minor soreness rather than something like a disc issue. Oblique strains typically heal in 1-3 weeks with rest, but given McVay's comments and Adams' history of playing through pain, he's likely to suit up for the Rams' next game against the Seattle Seahawks on November 16, assuming full practices this week. Monitor the injury report starting Wednesday, but all signs point to him avoiding any missed time.
