Vikings’ Jamal Adams Carted Off Field vs. Giants
Jamal Adams was examined in the medical tent after 11 defensive snaps, and the Vikings said the injury and its cause are still unclear.
- On Saturday, Minnesota Vikings safety Jamal Adams was carted off the field during his preseason debut against the New York Giants, sustaining a non-contact injury in the second quarter at MetLife Stadium.
- During the second quarter, Adams stumbled while defending a 15-yard pass to receiver Calvin Austin III after playing just 11 snaps in a versatile safety-linebacker role.
- Head coach Kevin O'Connell said the team is "gonna miss" Adams, while teammates Byron Murphy and Josh Metellus appeared visibly upset after checking on him in the medical tent.
- Defensive coordinator Brian Flores must now adapt his scheme without the veteran, potentially creating increased opportunities for younger players like Jakobe Thomas and Jacob Thomas during the preseason.
- The 30-year-old faces uncertainty following a career marked by injuries affecting his groin, ankle, and quad; an official diagnosis is pending, but his history suggests a potential long-term absence for the Vikings' recent signing.
