Adams (quadriceps) is active Sunday against the Seahawks, Dan Salomone of the Giants' official site reports. Adams will make his 2024 debut after spending the first four weeks of the season on IR. The Houston product will be a depth option at linebacker for the G-men, but he'll likely see most of his work on special teams.
The Giants activated Adams (quadriceps) from injured reserve Saturday, Dan Salomone of the Giants' official site reports. Adams began the regular season on injured reserve after injuring his groin during training camp. He was designated to return from IR on Wednesday, and while he was a full participant in all three practices week, he is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Seahawks due to a quadriceps injury. Adams played mostly on special teams with the Browns in 2023 and finished with 17 tackles (11 solo) and one forced fumble over 17 regular-season games.
Adams (groin) was designated to return from injured reserve Wednesday, opening up a 21-day practice window, Dan Duggan of The Athletic reports. Adams suffered a groin injury in the Giants' second preseason game, ultimately being placed on injured reserve and missing the first four games of 2024. The linebacker was a full participant at practice Wednesday according to Dan Salomone of the Giants' official site, suggesting that he's relatively close to making his return to game action.
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.
