NFL insider Adam Scheft🐈er also confirmed that Adams is expected to sit out Week 5 against the Denver Broncos, though he might return for Week 6 iﷺf his recovery goes well.
In a recent update, Raiders head coach Antonio Pierce said Adams is reha🌌bbing from his injury.
When asked about Adams’ readiness for practice or the upcoming game, Pierce didn’t share any details.
Instead, he 🐲pointed out that the team focuses on their game against the Broncos while Adams works on hea🌞ling.
So, fantasy football players should plan for alternative🐟s to Adams.
Two other Raiders receivers, ♊Jakobi Meyers and Tre Tucker, will li📖kely get more playing time with Adams out.
Meyers has been a reliable option and could perform as a strong WR2, while Tucker is a riskier ch♏oi༒ce.
Trade Rumors: Will Adams Stay with the Raiders?
Aside from his injury, Davante Adams has also made headlines because he mꦍay want to l🌞eave the Raiders.
According to ESPN’s Dianna Russini, Adams has asked to be traded, but the Raiders aren’t in a rush to ꩲmake a deal.
Rꦫumors suggest Adams might want to reunite withꦺ his former Green Bay Packers teammate Aaron Rodgers on the New York Jets.
But a🐷s you can expect, this situation creates some complications.
Even if Adams heals quickly, he probably won’t want to risk playing for the Raiders ♏while trade ta🔯lks are ongoing.
Similarly, the Raiders wouldn🐲’t want him to get injured before they finalize a deal.
Raiders coach Anton🔥io Pierce also liked a soci♉al media post that hinted Adams may have already played his last game for Las Vegas.
Although Pierce hasn’t spoken directly about the trade rumors, his actions on social media have fueled speculation about Adams’ future.
Who Might Trade for Davante Adams?
As the trade rumors continue, a few teams stand out as po﷽ssible new homes for Davante Adams.
The New York Jets seem to be the ಞmost likely option because Adams has a past connection with Jets quarterback Aaron Rodgers.
And their hi🅰story to🥀gether in Green Bay could make this a good fit.
Additionally, the Dallas Cowboys and Pittsburgh Steelersꦅ are interested in adding Adams to their rosters.
Both team🐠s could use a star wide receiver like Adams to boost their offenses and make a stronger push for the playoffs.
Another team being mentioned is the New Orleans Saints, who could benefit from Adams’s chemistry with their quarterback, Derek Carr, who used to play with Adams on the Raiders.
That saౠid, whoever trades for Adams must consider his contract and injury s🧔tatus.
Adams is still und🦄er contract with the Raiders for two🧔 more years, with a base salary of $16.89 million.
However, the final two ye💫ars of his deal have no guaranteed money, so a trade could mean just one season with Adams unless a new deal is worked out.
What’s Next for Davante Adams?
Davante Adams is in his third year with the Raiders and has been a top player in the NFL, with four straight seasons of more than🅺 1,100 receiving yards.

And his futuꦇre in the NFL depends on his recove🐼ry and whether a trade deal is reached.
The next few weeks will be critical for Adams, th🍸e Raiders💮, and the teams hoping to trade for him.
Now, everyone’s watching to see how this situation unfolds.
