The Los Angeles Rams are welcoming back Davante Adams.

The star wide receiver has no injury designation ahead of Saturday's wild-card matchup and is set to return against the Carolina Panthers.

Adams missed the Rams' final three regular-season games due to a hamstring injury. He was a full participant at practice this week and isn't expected to have any snap limitations versus Carolina.

He scored two touchdowns against the Panthers on Nov. 30, though Carolina beat L.A. 31-28 in a huge regular-season upset.

Despite his late-season absence, Adams led the NFL with 14 touchdown receptions in 2025. The six-time Pro Bowl also caught 60 passes for 789 yards across 14 appearances in his first campaign with Los Angeles. Adams forms one of the league's best receiving duos with Puka Nacua.

The Rams are also expected to have versatile safety Quentin Lake back against the Panthers. Lake, who ranked second on the team with 10 pass breakups this season, hasn't played since Nov. 16 due to an elbow injury.
