  • Return timeline still unclear

    Adams' (quadriceps) status remains uncertain, Nick Shook of NFL.com reports.

    Analysis: Adams played in just one game before suffering a season-ending quadriceps injury last year. "He's doing well," Seahawks general manager John Schneider said Thursday. "He's working his tail off. We want to be really careful with this. It's been two years in a row where he's been banged up now." Seattle traded for Adams in July 2020 and he went on to set a NFL record for sacks as a defensive back (9.5), but he's appeared in just 25 games overall in the past three seasons.

  • Continues to progress

    Adams (knee) is making a push to be ready for the start of training camp, John Boyle of the team's official site reports.

    Analysis: Adams is progressing well after tearing his quadriceps during Seattle's Week 1 win over the Broncos. Head coach Pete Carroll said that the 27-year-old will be ready for the start of the regular season and that he could even be back in time for the start of training camp. Adams will be a part of a talented safety trio next season playing alongside Quandre Diggs and Julian Love provided the 2017 first-round pick can return to his pre-injury form.

  • Rehabilitation remains on track

    Seahawks head coach Pete Carroll said Wednesday that Adams (knee) is "making his progress" in his recovery and "doing his stuff," John Boyle of the team's official site reports.

    Analysis: Carroll added that "everything was going the way it was supposed to go" when referring to Adams' recovery from the season-ending quadriceps tendon injury he suffered back in Week 1. The 27-year-old safety will likely spend the majority of the offseason gaining back his strength with the hope of being back to full health by the start of the 2023 campaign.

  • Making progress in recovery

    Adams (knee) remains without a timeline for full health, according to head coach Pete Carroll, but he is starting to move and do work on a treadmill, John Boyle of the Seahawks' official site reports.

    Analysis: Adams suffered a torn quadriceps tendon in his right knee Week 1, which required surgery and forced him out for the entire season. It's still unclear when he'll be able to participate in full for any offseason activities, but the 27-year-old is expected to be ready for the start of the 2023 season.

  • Officially out for season

    Head coach Pete Carroll confirmed Tuesday that Adams (knee/quadriceps) won't return in the 2022 season, Bob Condotta of The Seattle Times reports.

    Analysis: Carroll finally ruled out Adams for the season after dancing around the subject for more than a month following the safety's surgery to repair a torn quadriceps tendon in his right knee. Ryan Neal has taken over duties at strong safety in the meantime. Injuries have been a serious issue for Adams, who only played 24 games between the 2020 and 2021 seasons. Adams is on track to make it back for the 2023 campaign. He will immediately reclaim his starting role once he returns.

  • Undergoes successful surgery

    Seahawks head coach Pete Carroll said Tuesday "everybody sounds pleased" in regards to Adams' recent knee surgery, Curtis Crabtree of Sports Radio 950 KJR Seattle reports.

    Analysis: Carroll added that the safety, who has already been ruled out for the season, is going to be away from the team for the early part of his recovery from the torn quadriceps tendon in his left knee, which he sustained during the team's season-opening win over the Broncos. The procedure was Adams' fourth since he joined the Seahawks ahead of the 2020 campaign, and he'll only play 25 games through his first three seasons with the team.

  • Moves to IR

    Seattle placed Adams (knee) on injured reserve Thursday, John Boyle of the Seahawks' official site reports.

    Analysis: Adams will soon undergo surgery to address the torn quadriceps tendon in his left knee that he sustained in Monday's 17-16 win over the Broncos and will be sidelined for the rest of the season as a result. The upcoming procedure will be Adams' fourth since he joined the Seahawks ahead of the 2020 campaign, as he previously underwent a pair of shoulder surgeries along with another surgery last offseason to fuse two dislocated fingers. Seattle signed defensive back Teez Tabor off Atlanta's…read more

  • Surgery will end season

    Adams (knee) is slated for season-ending surgery on a torn quadriceps tendon that he sustained Monday against the Broncos, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.

    Analysis: After applying pressure on Russell Wilson during the first half of Week 1 action, Adams limped to the sideline and then required a cart to go to the locker room. A left knee injury was the initial culprit, but he eventually was diagnosed with a quad tendon tear. Now that surgery will be ordered up, Adams is destined for injured reserve in the near future. While his 2022 campaign is over, he's also expected to undergo a procedure on the broken finger that he sustained in the early stages of…read more

  • Needs surgery, may be out for 2022

    Head coach Pete Carroll confirmed that Adams will require surgery to address the significant left knee injury he sustained in Monday's 17-16 win over the Broncos, John Boyle of the Seahawks' official site reports. "It just breaks your heart. We're going to miss him so much," Carroll said of Adams.

    Analysis: Carroll didn't offer up a timeline for Adams' return, but the 26-year-old safety looks like he could be done for the season based on the tenor in which the coach discussed the injury. According to Brady Henderson of ESPN.com, Adams' injury is to the quadriceps tendon, which attaches to the muscle to the top of his left kneecap. An official timeline for Adams could come once surgery is completed, but at least for the foreseeable future if not the rest of the season, the Seahawks are expected to…read more

  • Sustains serious injury

    Seahawks head coach Pete Carroll said after Monday's 17-16 win over the Broncos that Adams is dealing with a serious injury, which is believed to be related to the quadriceps tendon of his left knee, Tim Booth of the Associated Press reports.

    Analysis: The safety will likely be sidelined for an extended period, though he'll presumably be sent for further tests before the Seahawks offer up a timeline for his return. At the very least, Adams will almost certainly be unavailable in Week 2 against the 49ers. Josh Jones replaced Adams in Monday's game and will presumably be first in line to start at safety while Adams is out of action.

  • Suffers knee injury on MNF

    Adams (knee) is doubtful to return to Monday's game against the Broncos, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.

    Analysis: Adams was carted to the locker room, per Adam Schefter of ESPN. Early indications suggest that Adams may have suffered a serious injury, and an update on his status will surface after the team completes tests on his knee.

  • Will float around formation

    Adams is expected to move around the defensive formation again in 2022, John Boyle of the Seahawks' official site reports.

    Analysis: Head coach Pete Carroll has signaled that the defense is expected to use more three-safety formations in 2022, and that could bode well for Adams, who thrives in the box. The Seahawks didn't replace Bobby Wagner, who left in free agency, and an unproven Cody Barton is the next man up. However, the team will likely push Adams to the box often, where his run-stuffing and pass rushing skills should be an asset. Through 24 games with the Seahawks, Adams has 170 tackles (115 solo) and 9.5 sacks.

  • Returns to practice Monday

    Adams (finger) was spotted practicing with his teammates Monday, Gregg Bell of the Tacoma News Tribune reports.

    Analysis: Adams missed the previous three practices while having a broken finger examined in Dallas. He's back in Seattle and participating in training camp, indicating that neither the finger nor the shoulder injury that had previously bothered Adams are significant enough to keep the safety off the field.

  • Suffers another injury

    Adams (shoulder) broke his finger during Wednesday's practice, but he's slated to return to the field soon, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports

    Analysis: Adams has tended to shoulder concerns the past two seasons and even underwent surgery to repair a torn labrum in his left shoulder back in December. He also had an offseason procedure to fuse the middle and ring fingers on his left hand. According to Rapoport, the most recent incident included getting his finger stuck in a teammate's helmet, for which he'll need to practice with a club and wear a special cast in games. The expectation is that Adams will have another surgery to address his…read more

  • Slated to miss time

    Seahawks coach Pete Carroll said Thursday that Adams (shoulder) is expected to be unavailable with an issue on his surgically repaired hand, Michael-Shawn Dugar of The Athletic reports.

    Analysis: Adams's expected return from a torn labrum suffered in his left shoulder last December will have to be put on hold due to this hand issue. Carroll did not provide a timeline for the one-time All-Pro's return while the safety seeks second opinions for his hand. Adams underwent surgery to repair broken fingers on the same hand in January 2021, so it's possible this current issue springs from this prior injury. As a result, backup safeties Ryan Neal and Marquise Blair should see increased reps…read more

    Adams (shoulder) is expected to be ready for training camp, Brady Henderson of ESPN.com reports.

    Analysis: Adams underwent surgery for a torn labrum in his left shoulder in December. He also had the middle and ring fingers on his left hand fused due to several dislocations since 2020, Bob Condotta of The Seattle Times reports. Adams ended up playing 12 games in 2021, recording 56 tackles and five passes defensed including two interceptions. He figures to play an integral part in the Seahawks secondary if he can stay healthy next season.

  • May be ready for training camp

    Head coach Pete Carroll said Monday that he expects Adams (shoulder) to be ready for training camp, John Boyle of the Seahawks' official site reports.

    Analysis: Adams suffered a torn labrum in his left shoulder in a Week 13 win over the Texans and underwent season-ending surgery in early December. He battled a left shoulder injury in 2020, too, so it's possible that this will be an ongoing concern for the All-Pro safety. Still, it's encouraging that he should be back in time for training camp. Adams will be an every-snap player as long as he's healthy in 2022. Prior to his injury this season, he racked up 87 tackles (56 solo), five pass breakups and…read more

    Analysis: This move was just a formality, as Adams underwent season-ending left shoulder surgery Thursday. He suffered a torn labrum along with other significant damage to his shoulder in last week's victory over the 49ers. Ryan Neal figures to be the prime candidate to replace him in the defensive backfield going forward.

    Adams is set to undergo season-ending left shoulder surgery Thursday in Dallas, Bob Condotta of The Seattle Times reports.

    Analysis: Adams suffered a torn labrum along with significant additional damage to his shoulder during Sunday's win over the 49ers. The standout safety has thus turned in consecutive 12-game campaigns in Seattle that have ended early due to shoulder surgery. Though Adams was able to compile 9.5 sacks in 2020 -- a single-season NFL record for a defensive back -- he failed to get to the quarterback at all in 2021. With Adams now done for the year, Ryan Neal is a prime candidate to handle extra snaps down…read more

    Adams (shoulder) is believed to have suffered a labrum tear that will require season-ending surgery, Jeremy Fowler of ESPN.com reports.

    Analysis: Adams was forced out Sunday's 30-23 win over the 49ers due to the shoulder injury, and Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reported Wednesday that the star safety may suffered additional damage aside from the torn labrum. According to Rapoport, Adams is expected to make a full recovery in advance of the 2022 season, but the fact that the 26-year-old has now had consecutive seasons end early due to shoulder surgeries is discouraging for his long-term outlook. Through 12 appearances, Adams notched 87…read more

  • Not returning Sunday

    Adams (shoulder) has been ruled out of Sunday's game versus the 49ers, Curtis Crabtree of Sports Radio 950 KJR Seattle reports.

    Analysis: Prior to his departure at the end of the first half, Adams compiled four tackles. The writing was on the wall when he eventually showed up on the sideline in the third quarter in street clothes, and the shoulder injury he sustained won't allow him to return. Adams' activity level in practice this week will be key to determining if he misses any additional time.

  • Injures shoulder Sunday

    Adams suffered a shoulder injury during Sunday's game against the 49ers.

    Analysis: Adams made an early departure at the end of the first half and didn't rejoin his teammates after intermission. If he's unable to return, he'll end Week 13 action with four tackles, which would mark his second fewest in a game this season.

  • Notches second INT

    Adams made nine tackles (six solo), two pass breakups and an interception in Monday's 17-15 loss to Washington.

    Analysis: Adams now has a career-high two interceptions this season, both of which were generated in the last three weeks. The 2017 first-round pick has often been criticized for his coverage skills. Adams now has 83 stops (54 solo) through 11 games, matching last year's mark. He will continue to be a high-end IDP contributor as long as he stays healthy.

  • Active Sunday

    Adams (groin) is active for Sunday's contest against the Cardinals.

    Analysis: Adams landed on the injury report Thursday after logging a limited practice due to a groin injury. The star safety wasn't able to practice at all Friday, so his availability is a little surprising. Adams will look to build off his Week 10 performance that saw him register his first interception of the season.

    Analysis: Adams was a new addition to the injury report after logging a full session Wednesday.

Adams recorded his first interception of the season in Week 10 against the Packers.

    Adams had 11 tackles (seven solo) and one interception during Sunday's 17-0 loss to the Packers.

    Analysis: The veteran safety picked off Aaron Rodgers in the end zone to end a scoring threat late in the third quarter, and he also finished second on the team in tackles. It was the 26-year-old's first interception in 21 games since joining the Seahawks last year.

  • Modest production vs. 49ers

    Adams racked up six tackles (four solo) and one pass breakup during Sunday's 28-21 win over the 49ers.

    Analysis: Adams has operated as an every-down player through Seattle's first four games of the season, and he's blitzed with regularity, but the star safety is still looking for his first sack of the season. Through 12 appearances in 2020, Adams tallied a career high 9.5 sacks. Still, Adams logged one of his more impressive games in terms of coverage versus San Francisco, including breaking up a would-be touchdown targeting George Kittle in the fourth quarter.

  • Major tackling effort

    Adams posted 12 tackles (10 solo) in Sunday's 30-17 loss to the Vikings.

    Analysis: Adams has played every snap this season. Despite blitzing the quarterback 11 times, Adams has yet to record a sack. We should expect the sacks to come around soon. After all, Adams stacked up 9.5 sacks in 2020. Fantasy managers should be satisfied with his solid tackling floor in the meantime.

  • Committed to Seattle long term

    Adams reached an agreement Tuesday with the Seahawks on a contract extension worth $70 million over four years, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.

    Analysis: There was talk Adams would attempt to reclassify as a linebacker instead of a safety for franchise tag purposes if the two sides were unable to break their stalemate. Instead, Adams appears to have agreed to the terms of the Seahawks' last offer, which included $38 million in guarantees. There may be some language in the contract itself that now made it amenable for Adams to put pen to paper, but either way he's become the highest paid safety in the league. With his future settled, he'll begin…read more

    Analysis: The 25-year-old reported to training camp Tuesday as he continues to negotiate a contract extension with the Seahawks. According to Liz Matthews of USA Today, Adams is taking things slow early in camp after undergoing offseason surgery, though there doesn't seem to be any doubt about his availability for the start of the regular season.

The 25-year-old is coming off multiple surgeries, including a January procedure to repair a torn labrum, but it appears that he'll kick off training camp without issue.

    Analysis: Adams is scheduled to play out 2021 under the fifth-year option on his rookie contract, but he likely is aiming for a long-term extension that will make him the highest-paid safety in the NFL. While comments from coach Pete Carroll suggest the Seahawks aren't expecting a holdout, Adams could have other ideas if negotiations don't progress over the next few weeks. He should be healthy for the start of camp, coming back from January surgery on a torn labrum in his left shoulder. Adams had 83…read more

    Analysis: While Adams is slated to undergo surgery for a torn left labrum, it is confirmed that surgery for his right shoulder isn't necessary. The safety played through multiple injuries this season that he'll spend the majority of his offseason healing from. Adams, who posted 83 tackles (59 solo), 9.5 sacks and a forced fumble in his first Seahawks season, will be healthy by the start of the 2021 season.

    Analysis: Additionally, Adams will require a more minor surgery to address multiple injured fingers on his left hand, so the star safety looks poised to spend much of his offseason in rehab mode. While the exact nature of Adams' right shoulder issue isn't known, the labrum surgery will likely keep him sidelined for OTAs, though he should be cleared for full activities before the start of the 2021 season.

  • Practices with limitations

    Adams (shoulder/hand) was a limited participant at Wednesday's practice, Gregg Bell of The Tacoma News Tribune reports.

    Analysis: Despite a limited tag Wednesday and being called a game-time decision by head coach Pete Carroll, Adams relayed to Curtis Crabtree of Sports Radio 950 KJR Seattle that he's "full-go" and will play in Saturday's wild-card game against the Rams. Adams led the Seahawks with 9.5 sacks over just 12 games this year, adding 83 tackles and three pass breakups as well.

  • Likely game-time call

    Coach Pete Carroll said Adams (shoulder/hand) is expected to be a game-time decision for Saturday's playoff game against the Rams, John Boyle of the Seahawks' official site reports.

    Analysis: According to Boyle, the 25-year-old was listed as a non-participant on Tuesday's estimated practice report. Carroll initially indicated he expected Adams to be able to play against Los Angeles, but his availability appears to be in question.

  • Banged up in season finale

    Adams hurt his shoulder in Sunday's regular season finale against the 49ers and was in and out of the game after suffering the injury, but coach Pete Carroll said after the game that trainers believe Adams will be available for the wild-card round against the Rams next week, Brady Henderson of ESPN.com reports.

    Analysis: Carroll added that Adams' injury was to his other shoulder as opposed to the one he injured earlier this year, suggesting this isn't an aggravation of a previous injury. The Seahawks paid a hefty sum, which included two first-round picks, to acquire Adams from the Jets this offseason, and he responded by a setting a defensive-back record with 9.5 sacks for a defense that started slowly but picked it up down the stretch.

  • Continues pass-rushing domination

    Adams posted nine tackles (seven solo) and a sack in Sunday's 20-15 win over Washington.

    Analysis: Adams has been remarkable as a pass rusher with the Seahawks, exceeding any reasonable expectations for the newcomer. The fourth-year safety has registered 9.5 sacks through 10 games, tied for seventh in the league. Every player ahead of him in the rankings has played at least 12 contests. Curtis Crabtree of Sports Radio 950 KJR Seattle reports that Adams is dealing with a couple of broken fingers, but that's not expected to cause the All Pro to miss any time.

  • Notches sack against former team

    Adams made five tackles (two solo), a sack and a pass breakup in Sunday's 40-3 win over the Jets.

    Analysis: Adams dropped an easy interception in the first half, which would've marked his first pick since Week 3 of the 2019 season. The fourth-year safety remains the Seahawks' top pass rusher, stacking up 8.5 sacks and 21 quarterback pressures through nine games. In fact, he ranks tied for eighth in the league in sacks despite missing four games this year.

  • Not at 100 percent

    Coach Pete Carroll said Monday that Adams is "at about 85 percent" due to a lingering shoulder injury, Bob Condotta of The Seattle Times reports.

    Analysis: Adams' condition hasn't affected his performance, as he has piled up 20 tackles and two sacks over the past two games. There may be an ongoing risk of re-injury for the All-Pro safety, but he's a surefire IDP asset on a weekly basis due to his significant ceiling.

  • Huge performance on MNF

    Adams made nine tackles (six solo) and a sack in Monday's 23-17 win over the Eagles.

    Analysis: Adams has juggled responsibilities as a safety, cornerback and edge rusher, and his numbers followed through accordingly. Through seven games, Adams has produced 47 tackles (31 solo) and a career-high 6.5 sacks through seven contests. Despite missing four games this year, Adams leads the Seahawks' defense in sacks by a wide margin. The 25-year-old should be confidently started in IDP fantasy formats.

  • Fine after injury scare

    Adams recorded seven tackles (six solo), two sacks and a forced fumble in Sunday's 23-16 loss to the Rams.

    Analysis: Adams hurt his shoulder on the opening drive and went directly to the locker room, but he returned quickly and ended up playing 67 of 70 defensive snaps. He was quite productive, too, and coach Pete Carroll has already cleared Adams for Thursday's matchup against the Cardinals, according to Brady Henderson of ESPN.com, a notion that is backed up by his full participation in Monday's practice estimate.

    Adams was forced out of Sunday's game against the Rams with a shoulder injury, Gregg Bell of The Tacoma News Tribune reports.

    Analysis: Adams left early in the first quarter and immediately went to the locker room. The Seahawks' secondary is already banged up, as starting cornerbacks Shaquill Griffin (hamstring) and Quinton Dunbar (knee) are inactive. Ryan Neal likely will step up at strong safety until Adams can return, but the All-Pro safety's absence affects the entire defensive dynamic, specifically the pass rush.

    Analysis: Adams returned to action last week after missing four games with a groin injury, and he went to the locker room this Sunday after just one defensive drive.

    Adams made five tackles (four solo) and 1.5 sacks in Sunday's 44-34 loss to the Bills.

    Analysis: Adams returned after sitting four games with a groin injury, and he was immediately disruptive once again. The fourth-year safety now has 3.5 sacks this season, a team high despite the extended absence. His work in coverage has been less appealing, however, as Adams has given up 272 yards when targeted over four games.

    Analysis: The Seahawks haven't finished Friday's practice yet, but barring a setback with his groin in that session, Adams is poised to rejoin the secondary following a four-game absence. His return should provide a big boost to a Seattle pass defense that has struggled mightily throughout the season, though the team will be without the services of its No. 1 cornerback in Shaquill Griffin (hamstring/concussion).

    Adams (groin) was limited in Thursday's practice, Brady Henderson of ESPN.com reports.

    Analysis: Adams has now logged back-to-back limited sessions to begin Week 9. Coach Pete Carroll has offered optimism that the star safety will return from his four-game absence against the Bills on Sunday, but in order to do so, Adams might have to upgrade to a full practice load Friday.

    Adams (groin) was a limited participant in Wednesday's practice, John Boyle of the Seahawks' official site reports.

    Analysis: Coach Pete Carroll said earlier Wednesday that Adams was "full-go" at practice, so his limited tag likely is a product of a no-contact practice rather than a red flag about his groin injury. Carroll essentially cleared him for Sunday's game versus the Bills, but the All-Pro safety will need to avoid a setback through Friday's practice. Once he's ready to go, the Seahawks' defense will immediately be stronger at every level.

  • Reps to be managed in practice

    Coach Pete Carroll says that Adams (groin/illness) will be on a pitch count during upcoming practice sessions Wednesday and Thursday with hopes that he can play Week 9 against Buffalo, Bob Condotta of The Seattle Times reports.

    Analysis: The two-time Pro-Bowl safety was on course to make his first appearance since Week 3 when the Seahawks hosted the 49ers on Sunday, but a non-COVID illness ended up keeping him on the shelf for an NFC West clash. With that in mind, Adams seemingly has a strong chance to suit up against the Bills so long as he can recover from his illness. The July trade acquisition had recorded 23 tackles and two sacks over his first three outings of the year.

    Analysis: Carroll also noted that Adams was on track for Sunday's contest against the 49ers before suffering a setback in the form of a non-COVID illness. The star safety hasn't played a snap since Week 3, but if he's indeed able to return against the 6-2 Bills, his presence would provide Seattle's defense with a notable boost.

    Adams (groin/illness) is inactive for Sunday's game against the 49ers.

    Analysis: The 25-year-old was expected to return from the groin injury this week, but the injury limited his ability to practice. Adams will instead miss his fourth straight contest, and Ryan Neal (hamstring) should continue to start at strong safety for Seattle in his place.

    Adams (groin/illness) is questionable for Sunday's game versus the 49ers, Curtis Crabtree of Sports Radio 950 KJR Seattle reports.

    Analysis: Adams was expected to return this week, but those plans were derailed after the All-Pro safety missed practice Wednesday and Thursday due to an illness. According to Brady Henderson of ESPN.com, Adams returned to practice Friday, but even coach Pete Carroll is skeptical that the safety can return Sunday having only practiced once in the last month. Adams likely is a true game-time decision, and the final verdict on his status will be revealed about 90 minutes before the 4:25 p.m. ET kickoff.

It's a crucial first step for the All-Pro safety's return to the lineup, and he has a good chance to return to action if he can avoid a setback this week.

    Analysis: Even with the benefit of a Week 6 bye, Adams was not able to move past the strained groin that sidelined him for two games prior to Seattle's open date in the schedule. Given that Adams has yet to resume practicing since sustaining the injury, he could be in danger of missing additional games beyond Week 7.

The All Pro safety has been a game-changer for the Seahawks, registering 23 tackles, two sacks and a pass breakup over 150 snaps this season.

    Analysis: For a second straight week, Adams led the Seahawks in tackles and was the best defensive player on the field. Although Cam Newton broke loose a few times, Adams was instrumental in pressuring him and slowing him down as a runner. It was uncertain whether Adams would be a consistent IDP performer with Bobby Wagner and K.J. Wright on the roster -- both recorded 100-plus tackles in 2019 -- but the All-Pro safety has made that a moot point and is a strong option moving forward.

    Adams recorded 12 tackles -- two for a loss -- and a sack in Sunday's 38-25 win over the Falcons.

    Analysis: Adams wasted no time asserting himself as the team's best defensive player Sunday, as he led the team in tackles and was an effective pass rusher, adding two QB hits as well. The All-Pro safety made Seattle's defense much more effective since he can rush the passer, clog up running lanes and play in coverage. His high tackle count is intriguing for fantasy purposes, too, as he averaged just 5.4 stops per game in 2019. He'll be an IDP monster if the tackle count remains high.

    Analysis: Adams and the Jets are expected to touch base on a lucrative long-term extension in the months to come, but the estimated $9.9 million option for 2021 -- which becomes fully guaranteed next March -- will at least ensure him a nice payday in the final year of his rookie-scale contract.

    Analysis: Adams missed two games, which partially accounted for his decline in tackles from 115 in 2018 to 75 in 2019. Despite the missed time, the sixth overall selection from the 2017 draft raised his sack total by 3.0 from the 3.5 he had in his second year.

  • Questionable for Week 17

    Adams (ankle) is officially questionable for Sunday's season finale against the Bills, Rich Cimini of ESPN.com reports.

    Analysis: Adams managed the ankle issue throughout the week and logged only limited practice time in all three sessions. The 2017 first-round pick missed Weeks 14 and 15 with the issue, so it's unclear if he's in danger of missing Sunday's contest or simply resting. If he can't go Sunday, look for Matthais Farley and Blake Countess to see an uptick in snaps.

    Adams (ankle) will be a limited participant in Wednesday's practice, Rich Cimini of ESPN.com reports.

    Analysis: After missing two straight games, Adams appears to be on track to return to game action Sunday against the Steelers. The 2017 first-round pick will need to avoid a setback during the practice week, and a full-speed workout would extinguish any doubt.

  • Unlikely to play Thursday

    Adams (ankle) is listed as doubtful for Thursday's game against the Ravens, Mike Garafolo of NFL Network reports.

    Analysis: Adams initially was expected to be a game-time call, but that appeared to be too aggressive after he sat out this past Sunday's win over the Dolphins. The 24-year-old safety will look to leverage the "mini bye" from playing a weekday game into a return to the lineup Week 16 against the Steelers. Darryl Roberts is slated to start in Adams' place for the time being.

    Coach Adam Gase said Adams (ankle) will be a game-time decision for Thursday's matchup against the Ravens, Brian Costello of the New York Post reports.

    Analysis: Adams didn't practice Monday or Tuesday, and he won't necessarily need to work into Wednesday's session to have a shot at suiting up. Regardless, if Gase's statement turns out to be true, Adams will carry a questionable tag into Thursday's tilt, and his official status won't be revealed until 90 minutes before the 8:20 p.m. ET kickoff. If Matthias Farley (ribs) is unable to go, Darryl Roberts is in line to start in Adams' place.

    Adams was spotted in a walking boot following Sunday's 22-6 loss to the Bengals, Connor Hughes of The Athletic reports.

According to Manish Mehta of the New York Daily News, Adams said he was injured early in the contest and battled through it, which may have led to the letdown on the stat line.
