Minnesota Vikings Fear the Worst After Former All-Pro Jamal Adams Is Carted Off Field Following Non-Contact Knee Injury
Minnesota Vikings veteran defender Jamal Adams suffered a potential major right knee injury during the second quarter of Saturday's preseason game against the New York Giants at MetLife Stadium. Adams, who signed a one-year deal with Minnesota in late July, went down with a non-contact injury while defending a play and was subsequently carted off the field to the locker room after evaluation in the medical tent. Following the Vikings' 13-10 victory, head coach Kevin O’Connell delivered a pessimistic initial assessment, stating that the preliminary examination did not look good pending official medical imaging. The 30-year-old former All-Pro had played just eleven snaps in his preseason debut, attempting to carve out a hybrid safety and linebacker role. Adams has battled significant injuries in recent seasons following successful stints with the New York Jets and Seattle Seahawks. Team personnel expressed strong support as roster cuts approach.
