Minnesota Vikings veteran defender Jamal Adams will miss the entire 2026 season due to a right knee injury sustained during a preseason game. The injury occurred Saturday in a 13-10 victory over the New York Giants.
According to a report from the NFL Network on Sunday, Adams suffered the injury during the preseason contest. The severity of the injury will sideline the defender for the entirety of the 2026 NFL season.
The NFL Network reported that Adams’ right knee injury will keep him off the field for the upcoming season. The Vikings won the preseason game against the Giants 13-10, but the victory was overshadowed by the loss of a key defensive player.
Adams’ absence represents a significant blow to the Vikings’ defense heading into the 2026 season. He is a veteran presence on the team, and his experience will be missed. The team has not yet announced how they will address the loss of Adams, but they will likely look to other players on the roster to step up and fill the void.
