Davante Adams, a former Las Vegas Raider and now a Rams star, has a serious hamstring injury and is expected to miss the game against his former team, along with five to ten more games. An NFL analyst has suggested eight-time Pro Bowler Tyreek Hill as a possible option. The Rams began the season as Super Bowl favorites, but have stumbled to a 2-4 record. They lost by three scores to the 49ers in Melbourne, and also fell to the Broncos and Bills. Their latest defeat was an 18 to 16 loss to the Arizona Cardinals, decided by a walk-off field goal. The team has a hole at receiver, though it does not appear worried about addressing it for now.
