WR Davante Adams antonio pierce announcement that he is leaving the Raiders now another significant issue for the Team……

1. Sick days

After missing two days of practice with an illness, Davante Adams seems to be on the right track.

The receiver has been fighting “a bug” going around the locker room, according to Head Coach Josh McDaniels, but was back at practice Friday and is questionable to play. Along with Adams, Clelin Ferrell, Johnathan Abram and Tashawn Bower have missed some time this week due to illness. McDaniels and his staff have taken necessary precautions in making sure players take it easy and try to keep the illness from spreading.

“If the player’s healthy enough to be here and be able to be in the meetings and around some guys here and take part in the day to day, we’d just put a mask on him and try to avoid the spreading of it,” McDaniels said Friday morning. “So, some guys have been in masks this week. Some guys have obviously had it a little worse than others. But I think we know how to maybe handle it a little bit better, and that’s what we tried to do.

2. Elite company

While we’re still on the subject of Davante Adams, he’s continuously been putting up numbers on par with Hall of Famers.

Last week against the Houston Texans, Adams became the fifth receiver in NFL history to eclipse the 700 receptions and 75 career touchdown mark in his first nine seasons. He joins Jerry Rice, Marvin Harrsion, Calvin Johnson and Larry Fitzgerald.

“[H]e’s a unicorn. That’s what I’ve said since we got him, and he’s a different player,” McDaniels said of Adams. “When you have players like that, it doesn’t always mean that teams are going to play with split safeties or double or anything like that. … I think he’s been productive against every coverage. I’ve seen basically everything he’s done for most of his career, and he knows how to attack it – outside, inside, split safety, post safety, man-to-man coverage, zone.

“He’s a very smart player, very cerebral, learns really quickly. If you tell him something, five seconds later he can pretty much do it. A very unique player.

With two more touchdowns, he’d become the fourth receiver in history to surpass 700 receptions and 80 career touchdowns in his first nine seasons. Adams’ last contest with multiple touchdown catches was Week 5 against the Kansas City Chiefs.
