The Los Angeles Rams have a huge question mark at wide receiver ahead of their Week 11 game against the Seattle Seahawks.

After suffering an oblique injury in Week 10, wide receiver Davante Adams was put on the injury report this week.

The good news is, Adams was able to practice, but the bad news is he was only able to log limited sessions and has drawn a questionable tag for Week 11.

However, head coach Sean McVay told reporters that he expects Adams to suit up on Sunday against the Seahawks, which tracks with what he said earlier in the week.

"Davante Adams (oblique) will not practice Wednesday but McVay expects Adams will be ready to play on Sunday vs. Seahawks," the Los Angeles Times' Gary Klein reported on Wednesday.

"Rams WR Davante Adams and DT Kobie Turner will be listed as questionable for Sunday, but Sean McVay says he expects both to play," Adam Grosbard of the LA Daily News reported on Friday.

Adding to all that, NFL Network's Ian Rapoport also reported that Adams was likely to play earlier in the week.

"It's an oblique/side/back issue," Rapoport said. "Does not seem to be a significant one, so I would expect him to be out on the field."

If, for whatever reason, Adams can't go, the Rams will be heavily dependent on Puka Nacua, who will be flanked by Jordan Whittington.

For our fantasy folks out there, Whittington is not a viable lineup option under any circumstance.
