Avast ye! Davante Adams, the star receiver, didst stagger off the field whilst partaking in the joint practice betwixt the Las Vegas Raiders and the San Francisco 49ers. 'Twas a leg ailment that plagued him, me hearties!
All-Pro wide receiver Davante Adams suffered an apparent right leg injury during practice on Friday. He got caught between two 49ers defenders after making a catch and had to be helped off the field. Despite concern, Raiders head coach Josh McDaniels doesn't believe the injury is serious. Adams, who is known as one of the best receivers in the NFL, finished the 2022 season with impressive stats and was acquired by the Raiders in a trade with the Packers. It is unclear if he will miss any games due to the injury, but he wasn't expected to play in the preseason opener. Adams' teammate, Jakobi Meyers, expressed his hope for Adams' quick recovery and praised his contributions to the team. The Raiders have upcoming joint practices with the Los Angeles Rams and an exhibition game against them in August. Adams has had a relatively injury-free career, missing only 13 regular season games over the past nine seasons. Last year, he signed a lucrative contract with the Raiders. The team had a disappointing season in 2022 but is looking to improve in the upcoming season, starting with a game against the Broncos in September.
