Last week Davante Adams said, if it were up to him, he wouldn’t play in the preseason. His head coach responded by saying “If you’re healthy, you’ll play.”
But in the end, Adams preference won out apparently. As Adams didn’t dress for tonight’s preseason game against the Cowboys.
Adams had missed the first preseason game in Minnesota because he was back in Las Vegas awaiting the birth of his son. When the team returned to Las Vegas, Davante rejoined the team this week.
He was asked about whether he will play in the second preseason game and spoke honestly that it wasn’t what he’d prefer. Adding that the last time he played in the preseason was the 2017.
But Antonio Pierce is a former player and he’s old school. He had all the healthy starters in the opener last week, and that’s what he wanted to do this week as well. And in that, Davante would be included. But apparently something changed between now and then.
