Vikings put Jamal Adams on IR after quad tendon tear

The Minnesota Vikings placed safety Jamal Adams on season-ending injured reserve on 15 August after he tore his right quadriceps tendon during a preseason win, according to nypost. com. Coach Kevin O’Connell said Adams will stay with the team while he rehabs the injury.

Earlier in the preseason, Adams was carted off in the second quarter of his debut after sustaining a right-knee injury, a fact reported by the Vikings without detailed disclosure. Coach O’Connell later confirmed the knee injury and said an MRI would be performed, casting doubt on his availability. Subsequent reports from NBC Sports and Field Gulls indicated that the injury was severe enough to rule him out for the remainder of the 2026 season.
