Davante Adams praises Rams coach Sean McVay's tailored practice and rest policies

Davante Adams commended head coach Sean McVay for the Los Angeles Rams’ practice model that integrates personalized schedules and mandatory rest days. The team’s medical department uses these off-days to address various ailments, including Matthew Stafford’s back problems, Byron Young’s knee issues, Alaric Jackson’s blood-clot battle, and precautionary measures for Myles Garrett. Adams shared that after more than a decade of playing, he finally secured a genuine rest day by asking the staff to modify the practice load.

He emphasized that the system balances mental and physical demands, avoiding the old-school mentality of pushing players to the limit. McVay’s strategy has helped the Rams avoid major injuries and expedite recoveries for players like Adams, Jackson and Quentin Lake, who missed time in late 2025 but returned for the playoffs.
