All summer, national soccer teams played on a grass field within MetLife Stadium during the World Cup. In the second NFL game back on the field's usual artificial turf surface, a player suffered a non-contact injury.
Minnesota Vikings linebacker Jamal Adams suffered a knee injury during his team's preseason opener against the New York Giants, Vikings head coach Kevin O'Connell said after the game. O'Connell said the injury was "not good" and did not provide additional details.
Adams was tracking Giants receiver Calvin Austin while playing in coverage on a second-and-12 play when the injury happened. While following Austin's sprint across the width of the field, Adams stumbled and fell forward. After hitting the ground, he immediately rolled over onto his backside and grabbed his knee.

Adams went to the blue medical tent on the Vikings' sideline after the play. After an initial evaluation in the tent, Minnesota's medical staff carted him back to the locker room.
