Paulson Adebo: Everything you need to know

Adebo posted 73 tackles and eight defensed passes (including an interception) over 12 contests during the 2025-26 season. Adebo joined the Giants during the offseason and started all 12 games in which he appeared. However, the Stanford product missed five games due to a knee injury, and he's played in just 19 contests over the past two campaigns. Adebo did record the second-highest tackle total of his career, but he had his fewest interceptions since 2022. He should be back as one of New York's starting cornerbacks in what will be the second campaign of his three-year contract next season.

Adebo tallied 10 tackles (eight solo) during the Giants' loss versus the Patriots on Monday. Adebo had been sidelined for the past five games with a sprained MCL and struggled in his return, as Drake Maye completed nine of his 11 pass attempts for 95 yards and a touchdown when targeting him. However, Adebo did manage to rack up double-digit tackles for the second time this season. The 26-year-old will look to have a bounce-back performance Week 15 versus Washington following the team's upcoming bye.

Adebo (knee) has no injury designation ahead of Monday night's matchup against the Patriots, Dan Salomone of the Giants' official site reports. The Stanford product missed the Giants' last five games due to a sprained MCL, but following a week of limited practice sessions, he'll return Monday night. Adebo is one of New York's top boundary corners, recording 48 total tackles and four passes defended across just seven appearances this season. Now fully healthy, he's expected to start opposite Cor'Dale Flott in the Giants' secondary in Week 13.
