Trainers put some sort of sleeve on Adams’ right shin area. He’s walking gingerly off the field now with a limp.

The Raiders need former Green Bay Packers star wide receiver Adams healthy this season. They could be without their elite starting running back, Josh Jacobs, who is holding out and is upset with the organization for slapping him with the franchise tag this offseason. (The Raiders just signed running back Damien Williams Friday, with Jacobs absent from training camp.)
Quarterback Jimmy Garoppolo, coming off of a gruesome injury himself, would prefer to have Adams and Jacobs on the field for Week 1. But having Adams able to go is preferable to having no elite help.
Raiders fans must be holding their breath after Friday’s report on Adams’ injury. It could be the start of a long season in year two for the Josh McDaniels regime in Las Vegas.
