Jamal Adams suffers season-ending knee injury in preseason Week 1 for Vikings

Jamal Adams suffered a brutal and heartbreaking moment during the Vikings’ preseason opener when he went down with what appeared to be a non-contact right knee injury. Adams crumbled while tracking a receiver, and after a lengthy evaluation, he was eventually carted off the field in tears. Head coach Kevin O’Connell said the initial evaluation “does not look good,” leaving the team and fans fearing the worst. After signing with Minnesota just weeks ago and preparing for a new hybrid role, this is an especially cruel setback for a veteran who was hoping for a fresh start.
