Davante Adams Returns to Raiders After Paternity Leave

Davante Adams has rejoined the Las Vegas Raiders following a nearly two-week absence for the birth of his son. Although he practiced for the first time since July 31, Adams expressed he prefers not to play in the remaining two preseason games to focus on family. The Raiders are currently navigating a quarterback competition between Aidan O'Connell and Gardner Minshew, with coach Antonio Pierce expected to name a starter after their next exhibition against the Dallas Cowboys. Adams, a key player for the team, has previously thrived despite inconsistent quarterback play, recording impressive stats over his two seasons with the Raiders. He remains optimistic about the team's progress and the ongoing competition, emphasizing the importance of communication and practice with both quarterbacks. Adams's return brings a boost to the Raiders as they prepare for the upcoming season.
