Las Vegas Raiders head coach Antonio Pierce believes his team will be "fine" after trading six-time Pro Bowl wideout Davante Adams to the New York Jets.

"We didn't have him the last few weeks. We're fine," Pierce said on Tuesday, per Vic Tafur of The Athletic.

Adams has not played since Week 3. He suffered a hamstring injury in practice heading into Week 4, per ESPN's Adam Schefter, and days later requested a trade from the Raiders.

In his absence, the Raiders have gone 1-2, including a Week 5 loss to the Denver Broncos that led to a quarterback change.
