Davante Adams Returns for Rams After Slow Week 5 Start

Los Angeles Rams wide receiver Davante Adams was active against the Buffalo Bills in Week 5 after a slow start, as the veteran receiver looked to regain production in the Rams passing attack. The update came after Adams missed a practice session earlier in the week for a non-injury reason. According to Sporting News, Adams had two strong games to begin the season, but those performances were followed by two quieter outings.

The report said the Rams passing offense had been inconsistent, affecting Adams early in the season. Adams did not receive a target during the first quarter against Buffalo, according to Sporting News. The Rams had only one opening drive, while quarterback Matthew Stafford completed eight passes during the period without connecting with Adams.

Sporting News reported that Adams recorded his first catch in the second quarter against the Bills, turning the reception into a touchdown. The score put him on the board after his limited involvement early in the game.

Earlier in the week, Los Angeles Rams wide receiver Davante Adams was listed as absent from practice on Thursday, Oct. 8, according to USA TODAY. The report stated the absence was not injury-related and that Adams was expected to return to action the following day. USA TODAY reported that Adams had received at least nine targets in three consecutive games before the Bills matchup. The report also noted that his role remained significant even after Puka Nacua returned to the lineup.
