Davante Adams injury update emerges after Las Vegas Raiders star left practice

The Las Vegas Raiders downplayed the severity of wide receiver Davante Adams’ right leg injury, which he sustained during a collision in joint-practice with the San Francisco 49ers on Friday

The Las Vegas Raiders have given a relieving update about the injury status of wide receiver Davante Adams, who exited practice on Friday with an apparent right leg issue. Head coach Josh McDaniels said he didn’t believe the problem was severe.

During a joint-training session with the San Francisco 49ers, Adams collided with cornerback Charvarius Ward and limped off the field after trainers examined him. “Bang bang. Totally clean on both sides,” McDaniels said.

Adams led the Raiders with 100 receptions for 1,516 yards last year, his first with the organisation after spending eight seasons with the Green Bay Packers. He has made six consecutive Pro Bowl rosters and is considered one of the NFL’s best pass catchers. The 30-year-old’s health is paramount to any success Las Vegas experiences this year under new starter Jimmy Garoppolo, who signed with the team after it released Derek Carr.

After initially opposing the front office’s Garoppolo move – Adams told The Ringer that he didn’t “see eye-to-eye on what we think is best for us right now” – the Fresno State product has been willing to move on from what he had hoped would be a long-term pro partnership with Carr, his college teammate.
