The Giants are in line to sign Adebo to a contract, ESPN.com reports. Adebo, a 2021 third-round pick, entrenched himself as an immediate starter with the Saints but was limited to just seven appearances in 2024 before suffering a broken femur. The standout corner required surgery to address the injury, but he was deemed ready for normal offseason activities late February. With his new team, Adebo will immediately slot in as a starter across from Deonte Banks, upgrading New York's secondary substantially.

The Giants are in line to sign Adebo to a contract, ESPN.com reports. Adebo, a 2021 third-round pick, entrenched himself as an immediate starter with the Saints but was limited to just seven appearances in 2024 before suffering a broken femur. The standout corner required surgery to address the injury, but he was deemed ready for normal offseason activities late February. With his new team, Adebo will immediately slot in as a starter across from Deonte Banks, upgrading New York's secondary substantially.
Adebo (leg) is healthy and should be a full participant in offseason activities, Nick Underhill of NewOrleans.Football reports. Adebo suffered a season-ending leg injury in Week 7 and underwent surgery. Four months out of surgery, Adebo is apparently healthy and ready for a mostly normal offseason. He's scheduled to be a free agent next month and could be looking at a sizable pay day after registering three interceptions in seven games before getting hurt. Adebo turns 26 years old in July.
Adebo was in good spirits Monday regarding his recovery from a broken femur suffered in October, and he's confident he'll be ready for training camp, Katherine Terrell of ESPN.com reports. Adebo has been out of action since Week 7 and underwent season-ending surgery Oct. 18. The Stanford was amid a breakout season when he suffered the injury, finishing his 2024 campaign with 52 combined tackles, and three interceptions, including 10 passes defended in seven contests.
The Saints placed Adebo (upper leg) on injured reserve Tuesday. Adebo suffered a broken femur during the Saints' Week 7 loss to the Broncos on Thursday. He underwent season-ending surgery Friday, and he'll shift his focus toward being fully healthy for the 2025 campaign. Adebo's move to IR makes room on the 53-man roster for the Saints' signing of wide receiver Marquez Valdes-Scantling.
Adebo (upper leg) underwent season-ending surgery Friday morning to address a broken right femur sustained during Thursday's 33-10 loss to the Broncos, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports. Adebo is facing an expected recovery timetable of 4-5 months, which Schefter notes could allow him to be fully healthy by March, when he's scheduled to become an unrestricted free agent. The 2021 third-round pick was in the middle of a breakout season with the Saints, but he'll now need to turn his focus toward making a full recovery for the 2025 campaign. The loss of Adebo figures to propel rookie first-round pick Kool-Aid McKinstry into a starting role alongside Marshon Lattimore (hamstring).
Adebo suffered a broken femur in Thursday's 33-10 loss to the Broncos, Ross Jackson of WWL Louisiana reports. Adebo suffered an apparent serious injury in the first half of Thursday's loss and was carted off the field in an air cast. After being taken to a local hospital for further evaluation, he was diagnosed with a femur injury and will almost certainly be out of the season. The development is tough luck for Adebo, who was in the midst of a breakout season and will be headed to free agency this offseason.
Adebo (knee) will not return to Thursday's game against the Broncos, Luke Johnson of The New Orleans Times-Picayune reports. The cornerback was carted off with his right leg in an air cast, per Katherine Terrell of ESPN.com. Adebo still leads the Saints with six tackles (three solo) in Thursday's game. Kool-Aid McKinstry came in for him.
Adebo tallied 10 tackles (eight solo) and intercepted a pass Sunday in a loss to Tampa Bay. New Orleans' defense gave up 325 passing yards and four passing touchdowns against Baker Mayfield, but it also picked off three of Mayfield's passes. Adebo nabbed one of those, intercepting a pass intended for Mike Evans and returning it 20 yards in the second quarter. Adebo has had a keen eye for the ball this season with three pickoffs through six weeks, and Sunday also marked his third double-digit tackle performance of the campaign.
Adebo recorded 12 total tackles (10 solo), an interception and three passes defensed in Sunday's 26-24 loss to the Falcons. Adebo was able to reach double-digit stops for the second straight week while also picking off Kirk Cousins in the first quarter for his second interception of the season. The cornerback has now compiled 32 total tackles (28 solo), two interceptions and seven passes defensed over four games in 2024.
