As the Los Angeles Rams prepare for their season opener against the San Francisco 49ers on September 10 in Melbourne, Australia, wide receiver Davante Adams is addressing his recent knee issues. At 33, Adams remains a key player for the Rams, and a team insider noted his exceptional performance during training camp, labeling him as "uncoverable" despite his injury challenges.
When questioned about his knee by Nate Atkins from The Athletic, Adams jokingly referred to himself as an "old-a** man" but stated that he feels "pretty good" as the game approaches.
Last season was notable for Adams as he failed to exceed 1,000 receiving yards for the first time in six years, although he still managed to secure 14 touchdown receptions while quarterback Matthew Stafford delivered an MVP-caliber performance.
Rams head coach Sean McVay commended Adams, emphasizing his ability to inspire the team with his consistent play. The Rams are optimistic about their matchup against the 49ers, though the lengthy journey of over 7,000 miles could pose challenges, particularly regarding the health of Adams and his teammates.
Adams' experience may prove beneficial, providing leadership to younger players as they strive for a successful season under Coach McVay.
