What is confirmed: Adams came out of the game in the final minutes and did not return. He finished with three catches for 39 yards on four targets, according to ESPN's box score. What is not known yet is the body part or the diagnosis. Broadcast replays and observers pointed to a lower-body problem, but the Rams had not announced anything as of this writing.
The way it happened is the worrying part. Adams pulled up on a route near the goal line with no one touching him, then limped toward the sideline. Non-contact leg injuries can range from a mild strain to something that costs weeks, so the first update from the team will matter a lot.
The game itself slipped away in the last minute. Colby Parkinson's 6-yard touchdown tied it at 15, and punter Ethan Evans kicked the go-ahead extra point with 47 seconds left because kicker Blake Grupe had already left with a knee injury. Arizona answered with a drive that ended in Chad Ryland's 43-yard field goal, his sixth of the day.
Puka Nacua led the Rams with six catches for 80 yards on seven targets. If Adams misses time, Nacua would be in line for an even bigger share of Matthew Stafford's throws, and Parkinson and the Rams' depth receivers would pick up the remaining snaps.
For RSO owners, hold Adams for now and do not sell into the uncertainty. If you start him, line up a fallback receiver before waivers process this week. Nacua owners should expect his already heavy target load to hold or grow.
