Rams star receiver Davante Adams is listed as doubtful due to two leg injuries for Los Angeles’ NFC West showdown with the Seattle Seahawks on Thursday night.
Adams aggravated a left hamstring injury during the fourth quarter of Sunday’s 41-34 victory over the Detroit Lions. He also is battling a knee injury.
Defensive end Braden Fiske (ankle) is questionable for the pivotal game. The Rams and Seahawks are tied for first in the division with 11-3 records, one game ahead of the San Francisco 49ers.
“We’ll take it a day at a time with those guys,” Los Angeles coach Sean McVay told reporters on Wednesday. “… We’ll take it all the way up to game time and see where they’re at.”
Adams has 60 receptions for 789 yards and a league-high 14 touchdown catches in 14 games.
The six-time Pro Bowl selection is in his first season with the Rams, who are his fourth NFL team. Adams, who turns 33 on Christmas Eve, has 1,017 career catches for 12,633 yards and 117 touchdowns in 178 regular-season games (171 starts).
Fiske, 25, has 28 tackles and two sacks in his second NFL season with the Rams.
Seattle ruled out offensive tackle Charles Cross (hamstring), who was injured late in the fourth quarter of Sunday’s 18-16 win over the Indianapolis Colts.
Seahawks coach Mike Macdonald isn’t sure if this will be the only game Cross misses.
“I don’t have a time frame for you,” Macdonald said Wednesday. “We’re working through it.”
The Rams experienced equipment issues with their plane, delaying departure as the team looked for an alternative arrangement.
