The Steelers placed Adams (knee) on injured reserve Tuesday, Teresa Varley of the team's official site reports. Adams suffered a knee injury during the Steelers' Week 7 win over the Jets on Sunday. He was already ruled out for Week 8 against the Giants, but the injury is severe enough to warrant a multi-week absence for the 2017 third-round pick. Adams will be forced to miss at least the next four regular-season games, and the earliest he can return is Week 13 against the Bengals on Dec. 1. Through the first seven games of the regular season, Adams tallied eight tackles (five solo), including 1.0 sacks.

Adams (knee) is out for Week 8 versus the Giants, Mike DeFabo of The Athletic reports. Adams will have to sit out for at least one game as he deals with the knee injury he suffered during Sunday's contest versus the Jets. In his stead, Isaiahh Loudermilk projects to see an expanded role.
Adams (knee) will not return to Sunday night's game against the Jets, Alan Saunders of SteelersNow.com reports. The backup nose tackle did not record a stat before leaving the game. Adams had eight tackles (five solo), including 1.0 sacks, in the Steelers' first six games. Dean Lowry and Isaiahh Loudermilk are the other backup defensive linemen available for the Steelers on Sunday.
Adams (knee) is questionable to return to Sunday's game against the Jets, Alan Saunders of SteelersNow.com reports. The backup nose tackle did not record a stat before exiting. Adams had eight tackles (five solo), including 1.0 sacks, in Pittsburgh's first six games. Dean Lowry and Isaiahh Loudermilk are the other backup defensive linemen available for the Steelers on Sunday.
Adams re-signed with the Steelers on a two-year deal Thursday, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports. Adams turns 29 in July and is coming off a 2023 in which he played a career-high 416 defensive snaps across 13 games for the Steelers. The veteran lineman finished with 24 tackles (11 solo) and one forced fumble.
Pittsburgh's top nose tackle logged a full week of limited practice sessions, but he ultimately won't be able to suit up for Sunday's affair, as he continues to recover from an ankle issue. Keeanu Benton is expected to see an increase in snaps on the Steelers' defensive line with Adams missing time.
