Raiders coach Antonio Pierce, in the wake of Tuesday's trade that sent three-time All-Pro receiver Davante Adams to the New York Jets, said it was "business as usual" for Las Vegas and did not see the move as part of a "rebuild," Paul Gutierrez of ESPN reports.

"Next man up, move on," Pierce said Wednesday, when asked the message he gave to his team. "He was out for the last [three] weeks, so we're fine. ... That's how we've been really operating the last couple weeks.

"You never replace an All-Pro receiver like Davante. But at the end of the day, we're not trying to. We're trying to be the best versions of ourselves."

Adams missed the Raiders' previous three games with a purported hamstring injury and requested a trade on Sept. 30, the day after Las Vegas beat the Cleveland Browns with Adams cheering on from the sidelines to even their record at 2-2.

The Raiders have lost their past two games, though, at the Denver Broncos and at home against the Pittsburgh Steelers, by a combined score of 66-31, as Adams remained away from the team. Adams, acquired by the Raiders in a blockbuster trade with the Green Bay Packers in 2022, had 18 catches for 209 yards and a TD in three games this season.

His hamstring no longer an issue -- and reunited with his old Packers quarterback Aaron Rodgers -- Adams is expected to play for the Jets on Sunday night at Pittsburgh.
