NFL: Decoding Devante Adams' career stats and achievements
Las Vegas Raiders' star wide receiver, Davante Adams, is week-to-week with a hamstring injury sustained during training. As the team leader in receiving yards, his absence may heavily impact the Raiders' offense. Raiders are reeling from a 36-22 home loss, versus Tennessee Titans, and defensive end Maxx Crosby will be out when they face the Cleveland Browns. Here we decode Adams' injury and stats.
Adams' injury details and update
Adams injured his hamstring in the last minutes of Thursday's practice, leading to a week-to-week absence, per league sources who spoke to ESPN. The Raiders have ruled him out for Sunday's game against the Browns, signaling a potential extended recovery. This injury raises concern, as ESPN league sources note that hamstring issues are particularly troublesome for wide receivers in the NFL.
2023 season highlights and 2024 season so far
In the 2023 season, Adams recorded 103 receptions for 1,144 yards and 8 touchdowns, averaging 67.3 yards per game. So far in 2024, he's started strong with 18 catches, 209 yards, and 1 touchdown in just three games. However, it is even more concerning for the Raiders, given that Adams last sat out a game in 2021 while playing for the Green Bay Packers.

Adams boasts a stellar career with 890 receptions, 10,990 receiving yards, and 96 touchdowns over 153 regular-season games. He has an average of 71.8 yards per game during the regular season. Meanwhile, in the postseason, he's added 72 receptions, 910 yards, and 8 touchdowns in 11 appearances.
