What happened: Vikings head coach Kevin O'Connell said Jamal Adams suffered a right knee injury, declining to specify the diagnosis. O'Connell called the injury "not good." Minnesota closed out the preseason contest with a 13-10 win over New York.

Why it matters: Adams is a veteran safety whose health carries direct weight on the Vikings' defensive depth chart heading into the regular season. A coach publicly characterizing an injury as "not good" without further detail leaves the team's evaluation period open as roster decisions approach.

What to watch: Minnesota is expected to provide additional clarity on Adams' status as the team continues preseason preparations.
