The Los Angeles Rams reportedly are not rushing star receiver Davante Adams to return from his hamstring injury.
But the division isn't the only concern, as wide receiver Davante Adams hasn't played recently, and a new report from ESPN's Jeremy Fowler is a bad update for the Rams redzone threat for the rest of the regular season. "The Rams very well could shut down Davante Adams (hamstring) for the final two regular-season games," Fowler reports.
Both the Broncos and the Rams lost during Week 16. So, how does that affect the NFL playoff picture with two weeks to play?

The Chargers will be represented by five players, including Justin Herbert and Derwin James Jr., while the Rams will send four players that include Matthew Stafford and Puka Nacua.
Camryn Irwin, D'Marco Farr, and Stu Jackson sit down for an episode of Between the Horns to discuss the NFL playoff picture, reactions to Thursday night's loss to the Seattle Seahawks, previewing Monday night's game against the Atlanta Falcons and more.

NFL playoff picture: Rams tumble to NFC's 6th seed in disastrous Week 16
