Though the Raiders could be tempted to move Adams back to safety following Johnson's injury, it would be a bad idea. Firstly, Adams is thriving at linebacker, and defensive coordinator Patrick Graham has been pleased with his acclimation. Secondly, the aging defender no longer possesses the athleticism required to play a coverage role at safety.

The Las Vegas Raiders suffered a significant injury during Sunday's training camp practice when safety Lonnie Johnson Jr. broke his fibula after colliding with teammate Maxx Crosby, according to ESPN.
