More Bad News for Las Vegas Raiders as Davante Adams Struggles to Train With Injury

Published 11/17/2022, 5:00 PM EST

As if the string of losses isn’t enough, the Las Vegas Raiders have another set of problems as they head into Week 11. Adding to their already injury-plagued offense, is another one, one with worse consequences. Reports suggest their star receiver Davante Adams might just not make it to this Sunday’s game. The Raiders listed Adams as a limited participant, owing to an abdomen injury. Although there is no information on how he sustained the injury, no alarming news has come out of the Raiders camp as yet.

Adams was on the field for almost all the plays during their loss to the Indianapolis Colts. Their loss to NFL analyst-turned-coach Jeff Saturday capped off a string of disappointing performances. In fact, fans are even calling for the Raiders to fire head coach Josh McDaniels. The only thing saving him right now, it seems, is the team’s abject poverty.

Davante Adams recently found himself making headlines after he shoved a photographer after their loss to the Kansas City Chiefs. Although he was charged with misdemeanor assault, the NFL did not suspend him. The very next week, after their victory against the Houston Texans, Adams gestured all photographers to line up along the tunnel to give him more space. Definitely meant to be a humorous take, right?

This is Adams’ maiden season with the Raiders after the Green Bay Packers traded him in the off-season. Since then, the Packers have been hit hard on their offensive front, and Adams’ absence is felt dearly by QB Aaron Rodgers and the rest of the team.

Although there is no concrete news about Adams’ exclusion from Sunday’s game, the possibility of such a scenario has got everyone thinking. The Raiders face the Denver Broncos in their next game, their second meeting with the Broncos this season. Although the Raiders should emerge victorious, it will not be an easy win. Especially if they are short of players like Adams. The Broncos have one of the best passing defenses in the NFL. So the Raiders will feel the heat as Derek Carr will find fewer targets to aim for.

As the two teams fight it out at the bottom of the AFC West, the Raiders have a chance to get to even terms with the Broncos (3-7) if they win. All eyes will be on the Raiders’ practice sessions this week. Adams’ status for Sunday could prove to be the difference between winning and losing against the Broncos.
