NFL news, injury updates: Raiders reportedly trade Davante Adams to Jets; Lions’ Aidan Hutchinson has surgery

After weeks of speculation, Davante Adams is headed to the New York Jets to reunite with his former QB Aaron Rodgers, according to NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport. The Jets are reportedly sending back a conditional third-round pick that can become a second-round pick based on performance.

This trade comes less than 12 hours after the Jets delivered an ugly 23-20 loss to the Buffalo Bills on “Monday Night Football.” It was the team’s first game since firing head coach Robert Saleh, and the presence of the newly-named interim head coach Jeff Ulbrich, as well as new offensive signal caller Todd Downing, wasn’t enough to stop the Jets from making costly mistakes.

Here’s a look at some of the other top stories in the NFL coming out of Week 6.

The Lions’ pass-rushing specialist is leading the NFL in sacks with 6.5, but was carted off the field in Dallas on Sunday with what was confirmed to be a broken tibia. He had surgery on it in Dallas and is expected to miss the rest of the 2024 season, per NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport. Hutchinson had 11.5 sacks in 2023 and made his first Pro Bowl last season.

If you were to just look at the Dallas Cowboys’ road results this year, you’d find a 3-0 team that, while it has some things to clean up, has been able to come away with a couple close wins, even beating the 4-2 Steelers in Pittsburgh. But at home, the Cowboys have barely been competitive, and for all but two quarters, have gotten entirely stomped on home turf. The Cowboys have given up 119 points — 39.7 points per game — at home in three games this season.

After the worst home loss of the Jerry Jones era — coincidentally on his 82nd birthday — Jones said he’s not considering a coaching change, even as questions about Mike McCarthy continue to swirl. The Cowboys are off in Week 7, and play their next two games on the road.

  • Raiders reportedly trade All-Pro WR Davante Adams to Jets, ending months of trade speculation

    The Las Vegas Raiders are trading All-Pro wide receiver Davante Adams to the New York Jets, according to NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport. The Jets are reportedly sending back a conditional third-round pick that can become a second-round pick based on performance.

    This trade comes less than 12 hours after the Jets delivered an ugly 23-20 loss to the Buffalo Bills on “Monday Night Football.” It was the team’s first game since firing head coach Robert Saleh, and the presence of the newly-named interim head coach Jeff Ulbrich, as well as new offensive signal caller Todd Downing, wasn’t enough to stop the Jets from making costly mistakes.

    Adams has a very familiar face waiting for him when he arrives in New Jersey: Aaron Rodgers, who was Adams’ teammate on the Green Bay Packers for years. With the Jets’ offense struggling, the hope is that reuniting Rodgers with one of his most successful on-field partners will help unlock all the success the team feels is just out of their reach.

    The trade ends a two-plus season tenure for Adams in Las Vegas.

  • Titans RB Tyjae Spears week to week

    Titans head coach Brian Callahan told reporters that running back Tyjae Spears is considered week to week with a hamstring injury. If Spears misses time, that means a likely workhorse role for starting running back Tony Pollard, who’s tallied 421 yards from scrimmage and three touchdowns in five games since joining the Titans from the Cowboys this season. Spears has 190 total yards and one touchdown as Pollard’s backup.

  • Miami HC Mike McDaniel says he expects QB Tua Tagovailoa back in 2024

    Good news for the Miami Dolphins: Quarterback Tua Tagovailoa is likely to return to the field sometime this calendar year, head coach Mike McDaniel told reporters on Monday. Tagovailoa, who suffered a concussion against the Buffalo Bills on September 15, was placed on injured reserve two days later.

    Tagovailoa can return to practice on October 23 after his IR stint is finished, but McDaniel said that a return this week is unlikely.

    “As far as timelines go, I know he’s not playing this week,” McDaniel said in a press conference. “I do expect to see him playing football in 2024, but where that is exactly, we’ll let the process continue.”
