Las Vegas Raiders wide receiver Davante Adams is not expected to suit up this weekend due to a lingering hamstring injury, according to ESPN’s Jeremy Fowler.
Adams, who has been sidelined for the past three games, has recorded 18 catches for 209 yards and one touchdown in three appearances this season. The Raiders are being cautious with their star receiver, opting to hold him out as he continues to recover.
However, the decision to sit Adams for another game has sparked a wave of speculation among fans, particularly in Pittsburgh.
With the Steelers hosting the Raiders this weekend, many are wondering if Adams’ absence might be linked to ongoing trade rumors. As whispers about a potential trade swirl, Pittsburgh fans are eagerly hoping that the All-Pro receiver will soon be donning black and gold.
“Would he play if they gave him a different colored jersey?” one fan joked, hinting at a possible trade to the Steelers.
“Is he expected to play for the Steelers???” another fan posted, echoing the sentiment shared by many on social media.
“Translation: ‘We haven’t agreed to a trade yet, so we won’t play him,'” another fan commented.
One more added, “Davante just gonna switch sidelines.”
The buzz around Adams’ potential move to Pittsburgh has been growing, especially with the Steelers reportedly in the market for a wide receiver.
The team’s offense has struggled to find consistency behind top receiver George Pickens, and adding a player of Adams’ caliber would undoubtedly provide a significant boost.

As trade talks continue, Adams’ absence from the lineup only fuels the rumors that a deal may be in the works. While nothing is official, the excitement in Pittsburgh suggests that fans are eagerly awaiting any updates that could bring the star receiver to their side.
