Officially back with Jets
Adams signed his restricted free-agent tender with the Jets on Friday, Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston reports.
Analysis: Adams will return to the Jets on a one-year contract, which the team offered him in March. He has appeared in 30 games over the past two seasons, starting all but four of those while compiling 166 tackles and 11 passes defensed over that span. Adams can tentatively be penciled in as the starting strong safety heading into 2025, though the Jets could still add competition via the draft or free agency.

Receives tender
Adams was tendered by the Jets on Monday, Ethan Greenberg of the team's official site reports.
Analysis: Adams appeared in 15 games (11 starts) for the Jets in 2024, recording career highs in total tackles (84), sacks (1.0) and passes defended (six). After placing a tender on Adams, the Jets have the right to match any offer he receives in free agency. The 26-year-old from Illinois is now likely to return to New York and compete for a starting safety role throughout the offseason.

Logs career-high tackle total
Adams registered 84 tackles (42 solo), including 1.0 sacks, along with six pass defenses (one of which was an interception) over 15 games (11 starts) during the 2024 campaign.
Analysis: Despite recording 143 fewer defense snaps than in 2023, Adams increased his tackle total by two. He also had one more pass defense than in the previous campaign, though he finished with two fewer interceptions. Adams was somewhat surprisingly taken out of the starting lineup Weeks 11-14, though he returned to the starting unit for New York's final three games after Jalen Mills was placed on IR due to a collarbone injury. Adams will be a restricted free agent upon the start of the offseason, and…read more

Questionable for Sunday
Adams (ankle) is listed as questionable ahead of Sunday's matchup against the Bills, Rich Cimini of ESPN.com reports.
Analysis: The 25-year-old safety from Illinois appears to be trending toward playing in Sunday's divisional matchup, as he upgraded from limited practice sessions Wednesday and Thursday to a full workload Friday. However, if Adams is unable to suit up in Week 17 due to his ankle injury, expect Isaiah Oliver to step in and start alongside Chuck Clark in the Jets' secondary.

Exits game due to ankle injury
Adams (ankle) is questionable to return to Sunday's game against the Rams.
Analysis: Adams picked off Matthew Stafford in the second quarter of Sunday's game, but he's iffy to return due to an ankle injury. Isaiah Oliver is the top candidate to take over at free safety while Adams is sidelined.

Exits versus Jacksonville
Adams is questionable to return to Sunday's game against the Jaguars due to a nose injury, Zack Rosenblatt of The Athletic reports.
Analysis: Adams logged two tackles in the first half but is now questionable to return coming out of halftime. Starting free safety Jalen Mills was also forced out and will not return due to a chest injury. With the Jets very thin at safety, expect Ashtyn Davis and Isaiah Oliver to step into bigger roles alongside starter Chuck Clark.

Logs 10 tackles vs. Cardinals
Adams recorded 10 total tackles (five solo) in Sunday's 31-6 loss to the Cardinals.
Analysis: The 25-year-old tied Quincy Williams as the Jets' second-leading tackler in Sunday's loss, trailing Jamien Sherwood's 17-stop performance. Adams now ranks in the top three on the Jets' defense in both total tackles (58) and passes defended (five) through their first 10 games this season. Expect the Illinois product to continue starting alongside Ashtyn Davis as part of the Jets' top safety duo in Week 11's matchup against the Colts.

Should be set for Sunday
Adams (hamstring) practiced in full Wednesday.

Ruled out vs. Texans
Adams (hamstring) has been ruled out for Thursday's game against Houston.
Analysis: Adams has been unable to practice since suffering a hamstring injury in Week 7 against the Steelers, and the injury is serious enough that he'll miss a second straight game. Adams' next chance at suiting up will be Week 10 against the Cardinals on Sunday, Nov. 10. With Adams and Ashtyn Davis (concussion) both sidelined for Thursday's game, Jalen Mills and Isaiah Oliver will serve as the Jets' starting safeties.

Downgraded to out
The Jets announced Saturday that Adams (hamstring) has been downgraded to out for Sunday's game against the Patriots.
Analysis: Adams' next chance to retake the field will come Week 9 versus Houston on Thursday Night Football. As a result of strong safety Ashtyn Davis (concussion) already being ruled out, Jalen Mills and Isaiah Oliver will be New York's likeliest candidates to start at safety against New England on Sunday.

Unlikely to play vs. New England
Adams (hamstring) did not practice Friday and is listed as doubtful ahead of Sunday's game against the Patriots, Rich Cimini of ESPN.com reports.
Analysis: Adams injured his hamstring during the Jets' Week 7 loss to the Steelers, which was severe enough for him to miss all three practices this week. Unless he's able to make a quick recovery over the weekend, he'll likely be sidelined Sunday for the first time this season. With strong safety Ashtyn Davis (concussion) already ruled out, the Jets will likely have to start Jalen Mills and Isaiah Oliver at the safety positions during Sunday's AFC East clash.

Analysis: Adams suffered the injury in Sunday's loss to the Steelers and his absence from practice Wednesday will leave his status for Sunday's game against the Patriots in question.

Analysis: This was Adams' second 10-plus tackle performance in the Jets' first four contests, adding to his season total of 29 tackles. The 25-year-old safety tied Quincy Williams for the most tackles for loss during New York's Week 4 loss as well. Adams is expected to continue making plays on a strong Jets defense that's currently allowing just 15.5 points per game, the sixth-best mark in the NFL.

Fills stat sheet vs. 49ers
Adams recorded 12 total tackles (eight solo), including 1.0 sacks, and defended one pass during Monday night's 32-19 loss to the 49ers.
Analysis: Adams thoroughly impressed in Week 1, leading New York's defense in total tackles and being one of three Jets to take down Brock Purdy on Monday night. The 25-year-old safety appeared in 15 regular-season games in 2023, logging 82 total tackles and defending five passes, including three interceptions. Adams will look to build upon his excellent performance in Week 2 as the Jets take on the Titans.

Starts 15 games in 2023
Adams finished the 2023 season with 82 tackles (54 solo) and seven passes defensed, including three interceptions.
Analysis: After posting just 17 tackles in his rookie season, Adams played a much larger role in his second NFL campaign. The 24-year-old safety started in all 15 of his appearances and finished strong, with two of Adams' interceptions coming in his last three games. He'll be back with the Jets in 2024, though the team could bring in competition for the starting free safety role.

Snags INT in narrow win
Adams notched five tackles (four solo), one pass defensed and one interception during Sunday's 30-28 win over the Commanders.
Analysis: Adams now has 72 tackles (49 solo), three passes defensed and two interceptions across 13 appearances this season, career-high marks across the board. Given that he only has one game with less than four tackles this season, Edwards has showcased a floor that makes him worth fantasy consideration in deeper IDP formats heading into a Week 17 matchup against the Browns.

Game-changing interception in win
Adams had seven tackles (five solo, one TFL) and an interception in Sunday's 20-14 win over the Eagles.
Analysis: With the Eagles needing one first down to end it after the two-minute warning in the fourth quarter, Adams made the play of the game, picking off Jalen Hurts and running it back 45 yards to Philadelphia's eight-yard line. One play later, the Jets scored the go-ahead touchdown and held on for the win. Adams' strong play in the secondary was even more crucial considering the Jets were playing without starting cornerbacks Sauce Gardner (concussion) and D.J.
