How severe was Davante Adam’s injury during practice against the 49ers
Las Vegas Raiders wide receiver Davante Adams limped off the field during a joint practice with the San Francisco 49ers.
During Friday’s joint practice between the Las Vegas Raiders and the San Francisco 49ers, wide receiver Davante Adams sustained an injury. The incident occurred when he was hit by 49ers defensive back Charvarius Ward, causing Adams to point to his calf as he made his way to the locker room.
As he made his way towards the locker room, the highly esteemed wide receiver, who had been selected for the All-Pro team, gestured towards his calf with a subtle and noticeable movement.
The Raiders head coach, Josh McDaniels, stated that while he is unsure of the 30-year-old’s recovery time, he believes the injury is not severe. “I don’t think it was crazy serious. It was a bang-bang play,” McDaniels commented after Friday’s practice.
