Vikings' Jamal Adams Out for 2026 Season Due to Knee Injury

The Minnesota Vikings confirmed that defensive back Jamal Adams will miss the entire 2026 season due to a knee injury sustained during a game against the New York Giants.

Adams suffered a non-contact injury early in the match and was carted off the field. This injury not only affects the Vikings' safety depth but also raises questions about Adams' career trajectory, especially given his history of injuries.

At 31 years old, a season-ending injury poses significant challenges for Adams, who previously dealt with a quad injury that limited him to just one game in 2022. He had signed a one-year, $1.4 million contract with the Vikings and was expected to play a versatile role in the defense.
