A collision with two 49ers defenders injured Raiders star Davante Adams on the first play of Friday’s joint practice, an injury termed “not crazy serious.”
HENDERSON, Nev. — Davante Adams burst off the line, and within seconds, Jimmy Garoppolo’s well-placed pass came his way, but so did 49ers defenders Oren Burks and Charvarius Ward.
“Unfortunately Adams went down,” 49ers defensive coordinator Steve Wilks said. “I thought it was a bang-bang play, definitely not intentional, and I hope he has a speedy recovery, because he’s one of the top players in the league.” But that’s not necessarily why the bulk of the 49ers’ starting players likely will sit out Sunday’s preseason opener against the Raiders. Another driving factor in that is the starters’ immense workload in Friday’s joint practice.“I’m not sure,” 49ers leading receiver Brandon Aiyuk said. “Practice, you get it raw, exactly what it’s going to be. Games are a little different and there’s not as much one-on-one work.
Aiyuk added: “You get a period that might be good, one that might be alright. It’s pretty much that game situation were you go through the flows, the ups and downs, of a game.”
