It would be surprising and probably downright unwise for the Raiders to play Davante Adams and risk a new injury nullifying any trade in place. He missed last Sunday’s game against the Browns with a hamstring injury and a couple days later it was reported he had requested to be traded. Making some wonder if there was an injury at all.
According to reports, the Raiders are telling interested teams that Adams would not be healthy enough to play this week regardless of if he’s traded and perhaps next week as well.
Teams having conversations with the Raiders about Davante Adams have been informed his hamstring injury is expected to keep him sidelined 1-2 weeks. I’ve been told this is a real injury. He is expected to miss this week, but could be back next week if there are no snags.

Though I’d bet whether he’s with the Raiders after this week or not could play a role in whether he is out one week or two. After all, he wants out, so the Raiders want to trade him.
The trade deadline is still a month away on Tuesday November 5. There are four games between now and then. The Raiders bye week is the week after that.
