The Los Angeles Rams suffered another blow Monday when coach Sean McVay announced wide receiver Davante Adams will miss 6-10 weeks with a ruptured hamstring. The injury adds to a growing list of sidelined players after the Rams fell to the Cardinals on Sunday despite being 13.5-point favorites.
Defensive tackle Poona Ford is out for the season with a torn triceps, while fellow tackle Kobie Turner will miss 4-6 weeks with a groin injury. Kicker Blake Grupe also tore his ACL. The Rams, preseason Super Bowl favorites, have dropped to 2-4 and became the fifth such team in the last 50 years to fall below .500 through six weeks.
Quarterback Matthew Stafford has struggled, with observers noting he looks diminished. Edge rusher Myles Garrett has not played since undergoing knee surgery after Week 1.
Elsewhere, Giants rookie Malik Nabers posted 12 catches for 165 yards against the Saints, giving him 398 yards over three weeks—the most by a Giants player since Odell Beckham Jr. in 2015. New York replaced Jameis Winston with J.J. McCarthy during the loss.
The NFC East became the first division ever to go winless in consecutive weeks with all teams active, following a tie and Eagles and Cowboys losses the previous week. SportsLine projects no team in the division will reach eight wins.
