As expected, the Rams will have one of their top receivers for one of the best matchups of Week 11.
Receiver Davante Adams is active after he was questionable with an oblique injury.
Adams has 42 receptions for 568 yards with a league-leading nine touchdowns so far in 2025.
Rams defensive end Kobie Turner is also active after he was listed as questionable with a back injury.
For Los Angeles, quarterback Stetson Bennett, kicker Joshua Karty, running back Jarquez Hunter, offensive lineman Beaux Limmer, offensive lineman D.J. Humphries, and defensive lineman Desjuan Johnson are inactive.
For Seattle, quarterback Jalen Milroe, receiver Tory Horton, receiver Jake Bobo, outside linebacker Jared Ivey, outside linebacker Connor O’Toole, and offensive lineman Mason Richman are inactive.
The Rams are set to have both of their top receivers in the lineup for Sunday’s showdown with the Seahawks.
Davante Adams was listed as questionable to play due to an oblique injury that kept him from fully participating in practice this week. Head coach Sean McVay said during the week that Adams was on track to play and Adam Schefter of ESPN reports that remains the case on Sunday.
Adams has 42 catches for 568 yards and nine touchdowns on the season. If Adams catches another touchdown, he will have 10-touchdown seasons with three different teams over the course of his career.
The Rams also listed defensive lineman Kobie Turner (back) as questionable. Official word on both players will come 90 minutes ahead of the 4:05 p.m. ET kickoff in Los Angeles.
The NFL suspended Rams offensive tackle Alaric Jackson for two games in 2024. The league and the team knew the basis for the punishment, even if the media and the fans did not.
On Thursday, a Philadelphia woman sued Jackson in L.A. for allegedly recording her without consent during sex. On Friday, Rams coach Sean McVay was asked about the situation.
“As with any of those things, especially as a legal matter, we keep those things in-house,” McVay said, via a transcript provided by the team. “That’s been consistent since I’ve been here, how we deal with those things out of respect for the process. This isn’t something that we weren’t aware of. [We’ve had] very clear communication and understanding of it and I’ll keep it to that, hopefully you guys can understand.”
Will there be any additional discipline?
“That’s not something that we’re talking about right now,” McVay said. “Like I said, we’re keeping those things in-house. This is something that was a previous incident and so as it goes through that process we’ll deal with those things behind the scenes. I was made aware. There won’t be any actions as it relates to Alaric as far as his status for the game this week.”
The simple truth is that, per the labor deal, there can be no further action taken. If some new information unrelated to the incident comes to light, that’s different. The rules are clear that there can only one punishment, implemented by the team or the league.
McVay also asked whether the allegations impacted the negotiations resulting in a three-year, $56.3 million contract for Jackson in the 2025 offseason.
“I really do respect and appreciate your question, but I just want to be able to — out of just consistency for how we handle these things, keep that stuff in-house,” McVay said. “I apologize because I do understand you guys have a job to do, but that’s been par for the course with how we want to be able to handle it out of respect for the situation. That’s going to be consistent with what I say on those things. I do appreciate you guys understanding on that.”
Is McVay concerned Jackson may be distracted by the litigation?
“You talk about those things,” McVay said. “I think it’s very important that you always have communication and you’re aware of it. You acknowledge it and you let them know based on those personal conversations that go on. He’s done a great job of being able to focus on the things that he can control and acknowledge it. You can talk to him about it, but I haven’t gotten that sense.”
The truth is that a lawsuit will be far less of a distraction than the league investigation was. The lawsuit will play out slowly, with little happening during the balance of the 2025 season. Jackson will then be able to address the matter in the offseason.
Even if it’s not resolved before the start of the next football season, it could take a year or two (or longer) for the case to go to trial.
Davante Adams has 42 catches this year. More than 20 percent of them have resulted in touchdowns.
He has nine, in nine games. With one more, he’ll become the third member of one very specific club.
Via NBC Sports research, a tenth touchdown catch with the Rams will make Adams only the third player in NFL history to have a 10-or-more receiving touchdowns in a given season with three different teams.
Adams has done it with the Packers and Raiders. Brandon Marshall did it with the Jets, Bears, and Broncos. Terrell Owens did it with the Cowboys, Eagles, and 49ers.
Whether Adams will even have a chance to get to 10 on Sunday against the Seahawks remains to be seen. He’s questionable for the game with an oblique injury.
Adams could have been working on his fourth team with double-digit touchdowns. In only 11 games with the Jets last season, he had seven receiving touchdowns.
In all, Adams has six seasons with 10 or more touchdown catches — including a league-leading 18 in 2020.
Adams is also eighth on the all-time receiving touchdown list with 112. He’s four away from catching Antonio Gates, and nine away from matching Larry Fitzgerald.
Matthew Stafford’s NFL career began in 2009. He’s now in his 17th season. And he has never — not once, not ever — had a record above .500.
That can change on Sunday against the Seahawks.
Stafford has 231 regular-season starts. He’s 115-115-1. With a win against Seattle in start No. 232, Stafford would have the most starts before pushing his record above .500 in NFL history.
The reason for the unusual record is obvious. He spent the first 12 years of his career with the Lions, at a time when the Lions were a far cry from what the Lions currently are.
It’s amazing, in hindsight, that he stayed with the Lions as long as he did. But that’s how he is. Never complain. Show up. Do the job. Go home. Do it again. Never complain.
He’s gotten his reward in recent years. A Super Bowl ring in 2021. Maybe another one this year. A first-ballot, no-question, drop-the-mic Hall of Fame enshrinement.
And maybe a rightful spot in the conversation as one of the best to ever do it.
