Rash of Rams injuries will sideline Davante Adams, Poona Ford and Kobie Turner
Rams wide receiver Davante Adams stands on the field during a game against the Buffalo Bills on Oct. 12.
  • Several key players on the Rams will miss time because of injury, including wide receiver Davante Adams, who will be out six to 10 weeks with a ruptured hamstring.
  • Defensive lineman Poona Ford is done for the season with a torn triceps and Kobie Turner is going on injured reserve with a groin injury.
  • Sean McVay says pass rusher Myles Garrett will not practice this week despite being eligible to return from IR following knee surgery.

The Rams lost much more than a game to the Arizona Cardinals.

They lost four players because of injuries.

Receiver Davante Adams suffered a ruptured hamstring and will be sidelined six to 10 weeks, defensive lineman Kobie Turner suffered a groin strain and will be out several weeks and defensive lineman Poona Ford suffered a season-ending triceps injury, coach Sean McVay said Monday.

Kicker Blake Grupe was placed on injured reserve after leaving Sunday’s 18-16 defeat because of a knee injury.

“We’ve taken some shots this year,” McVay said during a video conference with reporters. “We’ve got to be able to get up and keep swingin’.

“This is a good test.”

The Rams are 2-4 heading into Sunday’s game against the Las Vegas Raiders in Las Vegas.

A team that began the season as the Super Bowl favorite now must engineer turnarounds similar to those they pulled off in 2023 and 2024 to qualify for the playoffs.

On Sunday, the Rams will once again be without edge rusher Myles Garrett, who has been on injured reserve because of a knee injury. McVay said the Rams would not open his 21-day window to return this week.

All-Pro cornerback Trent McDuffie, who sat out against the Cardinals because of a groin injury, is “progressing” and his status for the game against the Raiders will be determined late in the week.

“These are adverse moments and we’ve got to be able to push through and do hard things,” McVay said, “and that’s exactly what this situation entails.”
