Jets WR exits, evaluated for concussion

Jets WR exits, evaluated for concussion

The New York Jets are in a close game with the Houston Texans on “Thursday Night Football.” But they may have to finish the game without one of their top receivers: Davante Adams.

The Jets were driving to close the third quarter when Adams produced a 17-yard gain on a critical fourth-and-1 from the Texans’ 48. He beat Houston’s Kamari Lassiter off the line of scrimmage and made it well past the first-down marker before cornerback Eric Murray hits him out of bounds.

But Adams was slow to get up after the play and later was evaluated for a concussion. He was seen on the game broadcast leaving the field and heading to the locker room.

Adams had six receptions for 54 yards on 10 targets when he left the game. That’s the most catches he’s had in a Jets uniform since a trade brought him to the Jets from Las Vegas.
