Super Bowl favorite Los Angeles Rams could eye WR market amid 2-4 record, Davante Adams’ IR stint, and Puka Nacua injury (Image via Getty: Puka Nacua and Davante Adams)
The Los Angeles Rams entered the 2026 season as Super Bowl favorites, especially after trading for Myles Garrett and prompting Aaron Donald to come out of retirement. This calls for a screaming change before the trade deadline – November 10. All through the 2026 offseason, if you asked anyone, they would tell you the Super Bowl favorites were the Los Angeles Rams. Consequently, this deadly duo hasn’t played a single game together in the 2026 NFL season, failing to share the field when it mattered most to live up to those Super Bowl expectations. He’s currently on a 2-4 Rams team without any of them. Kobie Turner is suffering from a groin injury and will be out for 4 to 6 weeks. Poona Ford suffered a ruptured triceps, and he’s out for the 2026 season. To add the cherry on top, star wide receiver Davante Adams suffered a ruptured hamstring in Week 6 loss to the Arizona Cardinals. He’s placed on IR and will be out for 6 to 10 weeks. Maybe Garrett is their hidden gem, but if the 2–4 record takes a turn for the worse, will they even make it to the big games? He has only recorded 1 rushing touchdown and 1 receiving touchdown across 4 of his 6 games. He could be listed as questionable for the Week 7 matchup vs. the Las Vegas Raiders.

Because the Rams traded for Garrett, to top it off, Aaron Donald – the Super Bowl-winning defensive tackle – even came out of retirement just. Yet, Donald ended up missing Week 4 due to minor back soreness. Because depending on Puka Nacua is going to become heavier with every passing minute, anyhow, let’s check out the wide receiver market for the Rams,. Two games were missed due to a hip/groin injury. Because it’s not nothing, but at least not a significant injury, “I wouldn’t say precautionary,.
It’s a stark contrast: Donald won a ring for the Rams, while Garrett could never win one in Cleveland. Even NFL Insider Ari Meirov reported via X a few days ago, “Aaron Donald came out of retirement to play alongside Myles Garrett, Kobie Turner, and Poona Ford, among others. Still, there’s a ray of hope even if there’s a cloud of doubt: NFL insider Ian Rapoport reported just hours ago that Nacua underwent testing on his calf, and it is believed to be minor.
The following eight wideouts could be considered before the trade deadline: Indianapolis Colts WR Josh Downs, Jacksonville Jaguars WR Brian Thomas Jr., Minnesota Vikings WRs Jordan Addison and Jauan Jennings, Cleveland Browns WR Jerry Jeudy, Dallas Cowboys WR George Pickens, Washington Commanders WR Stefon Diggs, and Tampa Bay Buccaneers WR Chris Godwin, according to Rams Wire’s Cameron DaSilva. Sean McVay’s suffering team could consider trading for Buffalo Bills WR Josh Palmer, Indianapolis Colts WR Keenan Allen, and Tennessee Titans WR Calvin Ridley, according to Pro Football Rumors’ Sam Robinson. Instead, injuries have kept the defensive stars apart, while recent offensive blows to Davante Adams and Puka Nacua have derailed the season. The reason? Their blockbuster trade for Myles Garrett from the Cleveland Browns. Myles Garrett isn’t ready to come back and is still on IR. So, here we are, exploring the trade market to strengthen the Rams’ receiving corps and revive their playoff hopes – if they have any left. When there’s no manpower, who will fight the battle when it matters most? To top it off, Puka Nacua left Thursday’s practice with a calf injury. What that doesn’t tell us is whether or not Puka Nacua will be able to play this weekend for the Los Angeles Rams. I think it’s safe to say Puka Nacua is up in the air for Sunday,” Ian Rapoport added. So, there goes another wide receiver. This one potential move could help the franchise turn its season around.
