Adams (hamstring) doesn't have a designation for Saturday's wild-card game at Carolina, Adam Grosbard of The Orange County Register reports.
Adams thus has been cleared for his first game action since Week 15, when he aggravated a hamstring injury. Prior to missing the final three contests of the regular season, the wideout was a TD machine, racking up 14 such catches, which ended up leading the entire NFL. While fellow WR Puka Nacua still dominates the attention of QB Matthew Stafford, Adams' red-zone prowess will be key as the Rams open the postseason.

Rams' Davante Adams: Opens week with full practice
Rotowire
Adams (hamstring) was a full participant in Tuesday's walkthrough, Sarah Barshop of ESPN.com reports.
Though Tuesday's practice was merely an estimate, Adams was listed as a full participant on a report for the first time since Week 14. The veteran wideout missed the final three games of the regular season, but head coach Sean McVay confirmed earlier this week that Adams is on track to play in Saturday's wild-card game in Carolina. He shouldn't face any limitations with his snap count this weekend.

Rams' Davante Adams: On track to play in wild-card game
Rotowire
Head coach Sean McVay said Monday that Adams (hamstring) is expected to be available for Saturday's wild-card matchup with the Panthers, Stu Jackson of the Rams' official site reports.
Adams ended up missing the final three games of the regular season due to a lingering left hamstring injury, but the Rams held him out in part to ensure that he would be closer to 100 percent for the postseason. The veteran wideout demonstrated some tangible signs of progress ahead of Week 18, as he practiced in a limited fashion Thursday and Friday. Adams should be ready to handle a full load of snaps in the playoff opener.

Rams' Davante Adams: Inactive in Week 18, as expected
Rotowire
Adams (hamstring) is listed as inactive Sunday against the Cardinals, Adam Grosbard of The Orange County Register reports.
Coach Sean McVay asserted during Week 18 prep that the Rams expected to play their healthy starters, per Sarah Barshop of ESPN.com, but Adams isn't among those names for the team's regular-season finale as he tends to a lingering hamstring injury. However, Adams was listed as limited both Thursday and Friday, displaying some progress ahead of the playoffs. He'll aim to put an end to a three-game absence in the wild-card round.

Rams' Davante Adams: Unlikely to play Week 18
Rotowire
Adams (hamstring) remains listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Cardinals but isn't likely to play, Jeremy Fowler of ESPN.com reports.
Per Sarah Bishop of ESPN.com, Rams head coach Sean McVay is planning to play his healthy starters for Week 18, even with the NFC West division title out of grasp. Adams ended the week with a pair of limited practices while working his way back from a left hamstring injury, but in the veteran wide receiver's case, the Rams may be content with holding him out one more week to ensure he is in better shape for the wild-card round of the NFC playoffs. Assuming Adams doesn't play, Konata Mumpfield and Xavier Smith would continue to handle elevated roles on offense for the regular-season finale.

Rams' Davante Adams: Questionable for Sunday
Rotowire
Adams (hamstring) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Cardinals, Adam Grosbard of The Orange County Register reports.
Rams coach Sean McVay said Friday that he'll play his starters even if the result of Saturday's Seahawks-49ers matchup renders the Rams' contest meaningless in terms of playoff seeding. Adams could be an exception, of course, but it's at least clear he's making progress. He returned to practice Thursday and managed back-to-back limited sessions to close out the week.

Rams' Davante Adams: Limited Thursday
Rotowire
Adams (hamstring) was limited in practice Thursday, Adam Grosbard of The Orange County Register reports.
This marks Adams' first on-field work since Week 15 prep as he continues his recovery from a hamstring injury. While his ability to practice is a notable sign in his recovery, he isn't expected to be available Sunday against the Cardinals, as coach Sean McVay told Adam Grosbard of The Orange County Register on Wednesday. In the end, the Rams can make a ruling on his status for Week 18 on Friday's practice report.

Rams' Davante Adams: Unlikely to play Sunday
Rotowire
Coach Sean McVay said Wednesday that he doesn't expect Adams (hamstring) to play Sunday against the Cardinals, Adam Grosbard of The Orange County Register reports.
Adams hasn't practiced since aggravating an existing hamstring injury Week 15 against the Lions, missing two games so far. He appears destined to make it three straight absences this weekend based on McVay's comments. If that comes to pass, Puka Nacua, Konata Mumpfield, Xavier Smith (chest, LP on Wednesday), Tutu Atwell and Jordan Whittington will comprise the Rams' receiving corps.

Rams' Davante Adams: DNP again
Rotowire
Adams (hamstring) is listed as a non-participant for Wednesday's practice walkthrough, Adam Grosbard of The Orange County Register reports.
Adams missed the past two games and isn't looking great for Week 18 against the Cardinals. The Rams merely held a walk-through Wednesday but should have an actual practice Thursday. If Adams doesn't participate, his likelihood of returning for Sunday's game will be slim.

Rams' Davante Adams: Inactive Monday, as expected
Rotowire
Adams (hamstring) is listed as inactive Monday at Atlanta.
The Rams will continue to keep Adams on the shelf due to his lingering left hamstring injury, seemingly with getting him healthy ahead of the playoffs in mind. He'll have one more chance to play in the regular season this coming Sunday against the Cardinals, but his odds to actually suit up in that contest are unknown at this time. With Adams sidelined for a second straight game Monday, Puka Nacua will continue to be the focal point of Los Angeles' passing attack, with WRs Konata Mumpfield, Xavier Smith, Jordan Whittington and Tutu Atwell also on hand for snaps and potential targets.

Rams' Davante Adams: Doesn't practice Friday
Rotowire
Adams (hamstring) didn't practice Friday.
Adams followed up Thursday's listing of DNP with an actual absence one day later, giving him just one more chance to mix into drills this week before the Rams potentially make a ruling on his status for Monday's game in Atlanta. Coach San McVay previously told Sarah Barshop of ESPN.com that Adams isn't expected to play Week 17, so Adams getting ruled out Saturday seems more likely than not at this juncture.

Rams' Davante Adams: Not expected back Week 17
Rotowire
Rams coach Sean McVay said Friday that Adams is unlikely to return for Week 17 against the Falcons on Monday, Dec. 29, Sarah Barshop of ESPN.com reports.
While unlikely to contribute during the most important part of the fantasy season, Adams may be back in time for the crucial portion of his own team's campaign (the playoffs). Thursday's loss at Seattle may end up decreasing the incentive to rush Adams back for Week 18, depending on the outcome of various games for the Seahawks/Rams/49ers over the next couple of weeks.

Rams' Davante Adams: Inactive Thursday, as expected
Rotowire
Adams (knee/hamstring) is listed as inactive Thursday at Seattle.
Considering Adams didn't practice this week due to a lingering hamstring injury and a new knee issue and then was listed as doubtful for Week 16 action, this comes as no surprise. With Adams sidelined for the first time this season, Konata Mumpfield, Tutu Atwell, Jordan Whittington and Xavier Smith will be the wide receivers available to work alongside clear-cut top option Puka Nacua. Adams' next chance to suit up is Monday, Dec. 29 in Atlanta.

Rams' Davante Adams: Doubtful for TNF
Rotowire
Adams (knee/hamstring) is listed as doubtful for Thursday's game at Seattle, John Boyle of the Seahawks' official site reports.
Adams missed Tuesday's walkthrough and Wednesday's practice due to a lingering hamstring injury and a new knee issue, which seemingly will combine to force his first absence of the campaign. His status will be confirmed about 90 minutes before Thursday's 8:15 p.m. ET kickoff, but assuming he's inactive, the Rams will be banking on some combination of Konata Mumpfield, Tutu Atwell, Jordan Whittington and Xavier Smith to work alongside top WR Puka Nacua.

Rams' Davante Adams: Deemed 'week-to-week'
Rotowire
Adams (hamstring) is considered week-to-week, placing his status in doubt for Thursday's game at Seattle, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.
Adams dealt with a hamstring issue in advance of each of the Rams' past two games, but he left Sunday's win against the Lions early after aggravating the issue. Coach Sean McVay told Stu Jackson of the team's official site afterward that Adams' status was uncertain for Week 16 but that he "certainly wouldn't rule him out quite yet." Rapoport's report adds a new layer to Adams' status, but the veteran wide receiver may need to practice in some capacity this week in order to suit up Thursday.

Rams' Davante Adams: Could miss Thursday's game
Rotowire
Head coach Sean McVay said after Sunday's 41-34 win over the Lions that Adams (hamstring) is unlikely to play Thursday against the Seahawks, though McVay "wouldn't rule (Adams) out quite yet," Stu Jackson of the Rams' official site reports.
Adams left Sunday's win over the Lions in the fourth quarter and didn't return after aggravating a hamstring injury. The veteran wide receiver was optimistic about his injury after the game, and while Adams appears to have avoided a significant injury, he'll be hard-pressed to recover on a short week in time to face the Seahawks on Thursday in a game with significant implications in the NFC West race.

Rams' Davante Adams: Questionable, expected to play
Rotowire
Adams (hamstring) will be listed as questionable for Sunday's game against Detroit, but he's expected to play, Nate Atkins of The Athletic reports.
Adams has been managing the same hamstring injury since September without ever missing a game, but there was perhaps some concern this week after he didn't practice Wednesday or Thursday. It sounds like the Rams may not share that concern, but they're still giving Adams an injury designation, which means his fantasy managers need to keep an eye on the situation this weekend, heading into a 4:25 p.m. kickoff Sunday.

Rams' Davante Adams: Another missed practice
Rotowire
Adams (hamstring) officially didn't practice Thursday, Adam Caplan of SiriusXM NFL Radio reports.
So far during Week 15 prep, Adams sat out Wednesday's walkthrough and then was seen rehabbing his hamstring on the side one day later, ultimately going down as a non-participant for a second straight session. He thus has one more chance to mix into drills this week, but there's been no indication from coach Sean McVay that Adams is in danger of missing Sunday's game against the Lions.

Rams' Davante Adams: Continues to rehab hamstring
Rotowire
Adams (hamstring) was spotted rehabbing on the side as the Rams warmed up for Thursday's practice, Adam Grosbard of The Orange County Register reports.
Adams didn't take part in Wednesday's walkthrough due to a lingering hamstring injury and may go down as a DNP for a second straight day, which ultimately will be revealed when the Rams post their second Week 15 practice report. He also dealt with the issue last week but suited up this past Sunday in Arizona, logging a season-low 43 percent snap share en route to four catches (on six targets) for 29 yards.

Rams' Davante Adams: Sits out walkthrough
Rotowire
Coach Sean McVay said Adams missed Wednesday's walkthrough to rest his hamstring, Nate Atkins of The Athletic reports.
Adams also was listed as a DNP last Wednesday before getting back on the field as limited Thursday and logging a full practice Friday, thereby clearing him for Week 14 action. His TD streak came to an end this past Sunday in Arizona, which marked his first outing without an end-zone visit since Week 6. Considering McVay's comment, Adams likely will follow a similar practice regimen this week, especially with two games in five days between Weeks 15 and 16.
