Jamal Adams, the former first-round pick of the New York Jets<\/a>, was back at MetLife Stadium on Sunday battling for a roster spot with the Minnesota Vikings.<\/p>\n

But just two weeks after signing with his new club, it\u2019s not looking great, as he was carted off in the first half of the Vikings’ 13-10 win due to a knee injury.<\/p>\n

Adams was covering New York Giants<\/a> receiver Calvin Austin III in the red zone when he had to start sprinting across the field to handle his route. But Adams fell down to the turf with a non-contact injury, it seemed, and he didn\u2019t get up quickly.<\/p>\n

A cart eventually came out onto the turf and brought Adams back to the Vikings\u2019 locker room.<\/p>\n

During an in-game interview, Vikings head coach Kevin O\u2019Connell was asked about Adams\u2019 knee injury, and the veteran sideline leader said it was “not good” after the first look at it.<\/p>\n

“In such a short amount of time, Jamal has done such an unbelievable job coming here,” O\u2019Connell said. “You feel his passion every single day. Certainly felt it spending a few moments with him before they took him in.<\/p>\n

NFL PLAYERS MAY COLLECTIVELY BARGAIN FOR GRASS FIELDS IN FUTURE NEGOTIATIONS BUT IT WOULD COME AT A COST<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n

“You\u2019re just crushed for him, the role he was kind of paving for himself, and then just having a personality, experience, toughness that he brought in such a short amount of time. We\u2019re going to miss him.”<\/p>\n

The fact O\u2019Connell is already saying the team is going to miss him says all you need to know about the severity of the injury for Adams.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s a shame considering he was having a great game up to that point, making a key stop on a run play by the Giants and flying around at his linebacker position.<\/p>\n

Adams joined the Vikings just before training camp got underway on July 28, where he knew he\u2019d have to battle for a roster spot for the upcoming season.<\/p>\n

Heading into his 10th NFL season, Adams has known this feeling, which wasn\u2019t there earlier in his career.<\/p>\n

On that MetLife Stadium turf, Adams became a staple for the Jets after they took him sixth overall out of LSU in 2017. He made two Pro Bowls in 2018 and 2019, including a First Team All-Pro selection in the latter season after totaling 6.5 sacks, 75 tackles, two forced fumbles, one pick-six and seven passes defended across 14 games.<\/p>\n

But after that season, the Jets traded Adams to the Seattle Seahawks<\/a>, where he would spend his next four seasons. In 2024, he split time with the Tennessee Titans and Detroit Lions before finding a home with the Las Vegas Raiders in 2025.<\/p>\n

Adams transitioned from safety to linebacker last season, and the Vikings were planning to do the same with the 30-year-old before this injury. Adams, though, views himself as a defensive Swiss Army knife, having the ability to be versatile if need be.<\/p>\n

Now, Adams will hope that further testing can be graceful in terms of recovery despite non-contact knee injuries usually meaning the worst for athletes.<\/p>\n
