Update: Even better news. Adams has returned to the field!
Update: Good news. Adams is back on the sideline playing catch with Brian Hoyer before half. Even if he can’t come back to this game, it is a great sign moving forward.

Las Vegas Raiders wide receiver Davante Adams was exited the team’s Week 4 matchup against the Los Angeles Chargers with an apparent shoulder injury. He landed on his shoulder after being brought down on an incomplete pass and was down on the field for a few minutes while trainers attended to him. He was able to walk off the field and went straight to the locker room for further evaluation.

Potentially losing Adams for the rest of the game and beyond would be a huge blow to the Raiders, who are currently trailing the Chargers in the first half of this AFC West rivalry showdown. The offense is already missing a huge piece this afternoon with starting quarterback Jimmy Garoppolo out for today’s game with a concussion. With rookie Aidan O’Connell filling in, Jakobi Meyers and Josh Jacobs have been the primary pass-catchers and they will most likely have to continue holding down the fort if Adams is ruled out.
