Adams (groin) was placed on injured reserve by the Giants on Tuesday, Tom Pelissero of NFL Network reports. Adams went down with a groin injury in New York's second preseason game Aug. 17 versus the Texans. He was designated to return from IR, meaning that he'll miss at least the first four games of the 2024 season before he's first eligible to return in Week 5 against the Seahawks on Oct. 6.

Adams (groin) was placed on injured reserve by the Giants on Tuesday, Tom Pelissero of NFL Network reports. Adams went down with a groin injury in New York's second preseason game Aug. 17 versus the Texans. He was designated to return from IR, meaning that he'll miss at least the first four games of the 2024 season before he's first eligible to return in Week 5 against the Seahawks on Oct. 6.
Adams (groin) will not return to Saturday's preseason game at Houston, Patricia Traina of SI.com reports. It's still not clear exactly how severe Adams' groin issue might be, but it will keep him out of the rest of the Giants' second preseason contest in any case. Until he's back on the field, rookie K.J. Cloyd could see an uptick in reps.
The Giants signed Adams on Friday. The 28-year-old veteran linebacker has 85 games of experience under his belt. Adams played in all 17 games for the Browns last season and has also spent time with the Bears and Colts during his six-year career. He's a capable depth linebacker who excels on special teams.
