It was quite a gloomy Sunday for the Las Vegas Raiders. They were already missing their QB stud, Jimmy Garoppolo. And just when you thought it couldn’t get any worse, they had to watch their “can’t-do-it-without-him” guy, hobble off the field with an injury that had everyone cringing. Adams was basically the engine that was revving up the Raiders’ offense this season. It felt like everything good that happened on the offensive side of the ball had Adams written all over it.
But then, out of nowhere, Adams was making his way to the dreaded locker room. The injury looked bad. Currently, the pro footballer is back on the sidelines prepping to step back on the field. Playing catch with Brian Hoyer with less than 2 minutes remaining in the first half. So, what’s next? Could this injury be the spark that sets their redemption blaze? Will they rise from the ashes like a phoenix in silver and black? Shoot your predictions below.
