Las Vegas Raiders star wideout Davante Adams did not practice Thursday and Friday because of a shoulder injury he sustained against the Los Angeles Chargers.

The injury is not of a concern that will keep the former Fresno State star away from playing against his former team the Green Bay Packers on Monday night at Allegiant Stadium in Las Vegas.

The injury occurred in the second quarter just before halftime.

Adams went to the locker room and returned to the game in the third quarter, though he said “it definitely doesn’t feel good right now.”

Raiders coach Josh McDaniels said on Thursday that Adams is “doing better.”

“Working at it and doing everything he can to get himself to where he wants to be,” McDaniels said.

Adams added that his shoulder is “getting better every day. Just got to keep working at it.”

In an update Saturday, McDaniels said Adams will practice on Saturday.

Adams was a limited participant and is listed as questionable for Monday’s game.
