Three-time Pro Bowl defender Jamal Adams was carted off the field in his ​first game with the ‌Minnesota Vikings on Saturday.

The team has not announced details about the injury.

Adams, 30, appeared to sustain the ‌injury ​during a ⁠touchdown play early in ⁠the second quarter, when Jaxson Dart connected with Malachi Fields for a 15-yard pass. ​Adams stumbled while defending receiver Calvin Austin III and ⁠stayed on the ⁠turf. Adams then entered ​the medical tent and a ​cart was brought to take him ‌to the locker room for further evaluation.

Adams played 11 defensive snaps before leaving the ⁠game and was credited with one tackle.

Adams signed with the Vikings on ⁠July ‌27 as a linebacker, ⁠but he also has ​played ‌safety since joining the ​team. ⁠He played in every game for the Raiders last season after playing in 15 games over the previous three seasons.
