Adams Injury Opens WR1 Void for Raiders
Star Receiver Suffers Shoulder Injury in Week 2 Loss
Impact on Rookie Quarterback's Production Uncertain
The Las Vegas Raiders' passing game faced a significant blow in their Week 2 matchup as star wide receiver Davante Adams suffered a shoulder injury in the fourth quarter. The injury leaves a gaping hole at the WR1 position, opening up questions about the team's offensive production moving forward.
Adams, who played nearly all of the Raiders' blowout loss against the Buffalo Bills, took a hard hit from San Francisco 49ers linebacker Oren Burks during a practice session. The injury occurred on the first play of the session, raising concerns about the severity of the ailment.
The former Green Bay Packers standout dealt with a shoulder injury last season and has had to adjust to changes around the team, including the departure of quarterback Derek Carr and the addition of rookie quarterback Jarrett Stidham. The injury to Adams could further hinder Stidham's development and impact the team's offensive output.
