Raiders head coach Antonio Pierce vowed to keep his focus on football after wide receiver Davante Adams made a trade request a couple of weeks ago and his message hasn't changed much in the wake of Tuesday's trade that sent Adams to the Jets.

Pierce said, via multiple reporters, that it will be business as usual for the Raiders after the trade. Pierce noted that Adams did not play in the team's last two games, so they are already familiar with heading into games without the wideout.

"Next man up. Move on," Pierce said.

Jakobi Meyers also missed last Sunday's game, but Pierce said the wideout will practice on Wednesday. Meyers, Tre Tucker, DJ Turner, and Tyreik McAllister are the receivers on the 53-man roster in Vegas.
