Will Davante Adams Play Tonight vs. Seahawks? Latest Injury Update for Thursday Night Football

Will Davante Adams play tonight? Ahead of arguably the biggest game of the 2025 NFL season, the Los Angeles Rams receiver is doubtful to play tonight on Thursday Night Football (8:15 p.m. ET, ESPN) against the host Seattle Seahawks at Lumen Field.

Adams left last week's win over the Detroit Lions with a non-contact hamstring injury that head coach Sean McVay said "didn't look good," but the Rams aren't ruling him out yet. We break down the latest injury news and how it impacts our NFL Week 16 predictions.

When Adams went down last week with that hamstring injury, it seemed unlikely he'd be able to suit up four days later in a road game against one of the NFL's best defenses.

Los Angeles has refused to rule out its star receiver, though he didn't practice during the week and carries a "doubtful" tag into tonight's matchup. WIth that coming on a short week, it'd be pretty surprising to see him try to play through injury with the NFL playoffs just a few weeks away.

Adams enters Week 16 as the NFL leader in receiving touchdowns (14) with a whopping 12 of those coming in the red zone. While fellow wideout Puka Nacua is in line to inherit some of Adams' targets if he misses time, the biggest beneficiary of his absence (besides Seattle's defense) could be running back Kyren Williams, who is tied for the NFL lead with eight rushing touchdowns inside the 5-yard line.

Assuming Adams doesn't play tonight, it'll be a major loss for Matthew Stafford, who features a 75% chance to win MVP ahead of this rematch with a Seahawks defense that held him to a season-worst 130 passing yards on a 53.6% completion rate in Week 11. Our Gary Pearson broke down Stafford's outlook tonight in his Rams vs. Seahawks prediction.
