The Vikings lost safety/linebacker Jamal Adams to a torn quad tendon during Saturday's preseason opener at the Giants. That's a brutal hit to your secondary depth chart right when you need it most. Adams was supposed to be a key piece of the defense, and now you're scrambling to figure out your safety rotation for the season. This is the kind of injury that forces teams to get creative with their roster moves and could open up opportunities for backup safeties to step up and prove themselves.
