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.

Raiders safety Lonnie Johnson Jr. has suffered a broken fibula and will get an MRI to determine if there is additional damage, a source told ESPN.
