- Davante Adams suffered a ruptured semitendinosus on a late-fourth-quarter route into the end zone during the Rams' 18-16 loss to the Cardinals; Adams will undergo surgery performed by Dr. Neal ElAttrache and hopes to return by the Rams' post-Week 11 bye
- Poona Ford is out for the rest of the season with a ruptured triceps, while defensive tackle Kobie Turner will miss "a handful of weeks" with a groin injury and is likely headed to injured reserve for at least four games
- Blake Grupe tore an ACL and was placed on injured reserve on Monday, leaving the Rams without a kicker; the team will work out veteran kickers Brandon McManus and Matt Prater on Tuesday as potential replacements
- McVay said Myles Garrett will not return to practice this week, having missed the past five games following mid-September knee surgery, while cornerback Trent McDuffie is "progressing" from a groin injury
- Super Bowl odds at DraftKings collapsed from 5-1 preseason favorites to 12-1 after Sunday's loss, per ESPN Research, as the Rams weigh whether to add another receiver alongside Puka Nacua, Konata Mumpfield, Jordan Whittington, Tutu Atwell, CJ Daniels, and Alex Bachman
Why it matters: The Rams opened as 5-1 Super Bowl favorites and now sit at 12-1 odds with their top receiver, starting nose tackle, and starting kicker all lost — Adams alone missed 6-10 weeks removes the team's most reliable downfield target alongside Puka Nacua and could force the front office to explore trades or free-agent additions before the Rams' Week 11 bye.
