Davante Adams has not been ruled out for Rams vs. Seahawks

It’s going to be cold and it could rain Thursday night in Seattle.

Not exactly ideal conditions for any receiver, let alone a nearly 33-year-old with a hamstring injury.

So while it seems doubtful the Rams would let Davante Adams risk further damage against the Seattle Seahawks, that didn’t stop coach Sean McVay on Tuesday from indulging in some play.

McVay told reporters that a decision on Adams’ status wouldn’t be made until game time.

“He’s as tough as it gets,” McVay said in a video conference with reporters, “and so he wants to be able to see what that looks like with the time we have.”

The Rams, of course, could use Adams, a future Hall of Famer who leads the NFL with 14 touchdowns.

But that storyline seemed to evaporate when the 12th-year pro left Sunday’s win over the Detroit Lions after grabbing his left hamstring and falling to the turf while running a route.

Adams had been nursing a hamstring issue for weeks. If he plays Thursday, he could risk aggravating the injury. And the Rams, who have already clinched a playoff spot, still have games left against the Atlanta Falcons and Arizona Cardinals.

The Adams situation couldn’t have come at a worse time for the Rams.

The game against the Seahawks is the most important of the season for both teams.

The Rams and Seahawks are both 11-3. But the Rams, the current top-seeded team in the NFC, hold the tiebreaker due to their 21-19 victory over the Seahawks on Nov. 16 at SoFi Stadium.

Adams, who turns 33 next week, has 60 catches for 789 yards.

Rookie Konata Mumpfield, a seventh-round pick by Pittsburgh, could be called upon to fill Adams’ role in an offense featuring star wide receiver Puka Nacua.

Mumpfield played 32 of 72 offensive snaps against the Lions. He made five catches for 42 yards and a touchdown.

Quarterback Matthew Stafford said if Mumpfield had an expanded role against the Seahawks, he would have “a ton of confidence” in the rookie.

McVay noted the Rams also have receivers Tutu Atwell, Xavier Smith and Jordan Whittington.

“We have a group of guys who have played significant football and know all the spots,” McVay said.

Defensive lineman Braden Fiske injured his ankle against the Lions, and his status also won’t be determined until the game, McVay said.

Etc.

McVay and his wife Veronika welcomed their second son, Christian Alexander McVay, on Monday. “Mommy and baby are doing great, so what a blessing,” McVay said, “and what a crazy week playing on a Thursday.” “Just because you don’t really get a chance to prepare and do things that I think are consistent with putting guys in a position to get positive results,” he said. “We’ll see where they are as soon as we get past this one.”
