Antonio Pierce won't address speculation surrounding Raiders and Davante Adams' future
Las Vegas Raiders coach Antonio Pierce channeled his inner Bill Belichick after being asked repeatedly about star wide receiver Davante Adams’ status with the team
HENDERSON, Nev. (AP) — Raiders coach Antonio Pierce channeled his inner Bill Belichick on Wednesday, delivering his own version of “We're on to Cincinnati” after being asked repeatedly about star wide receiver Davante Adams' status with the team.
“Davante's dealing with a hamstring (injury),” Pierce said. “He's rehabbing, and the rest of us are focusing on Denver.”
The Raiders visit the Broncos on Sunday, and whether Adams will be on the flight to Denver is very much an open question given this week's developments. He could miss his second game in a row with a hamstring injury, but multiple reports have said he wants out of Las Vegas and that the Raiders might be willing to accommodate such a request.
Raiders players followed Pierce's cue and said their main objective was preparing for the Broncos, though wide receiver Jakobi Meyers acknowledged the Adams situation is hanging in the background.
