Sitting to preserve redshirt Adeyi (undisclosed) won't play in Saturday's game against Coastal Carolina in order to preserve his redshirt, Catie Harper of the Daily News-Record Sports reports.

Impact Adeyi has appeared in four games this season while tending to injury. Rather than playing in a fifth and burning a redshirt, he'll take a seat in Week 14. The running back can still play in the postseason, as those games do not count toward redshirt eligibility.

Deemed questionable Adeyi (undisclosed) is listed as questionable for James Madison's clash with Marshall.

Impact Adeyi was available for the Dukes in Week 10, but didn't end up playing. The tailback hasn't played since Week 6, in fact, and he has 24 carries for 120 yards this season. It remains to be seen if Adeyi will manage to get involved.

NOVEMBER 5 • ROTOWIRE

Available for Week 10 Adeyi (undisclosed) is available for Saturday's game at Texas State.

Out for Week 8 Adeyi (undisclosed) is out for Saturday's game against Old Dominion.

OCTOBER 11 • ROTOWIRE

Questionable for Saturday Adeyi (undisclosed) is questionable for Saturday's game versus Louisiana-Lafayette, per the Sun Belt availability report.

Impact Adeyi, who has been on and off the injury report for weeks, is back on the report with a questionable tag ahead of Week 7. He ended up playing in Week 6 after being on the report, but only played three snaps so he was clearly limited. His status is worth monitoring ahead of Saturday's contest.

OCTOBER 8 • ROTOWIRE

Good to go Saturday Adeyi (undisclosed) is not listed on the injury report ahead of Saturday's matchup with Georgia State.

Impact Adeyi will return to the field after he was forced to miss James Madison's last game against Georgia Southern. Adeyi, a redshirt senior, should see significant work behind Wayne Knight with George Pettaway (undisclosed) ruled out.

OCTOBER 4 • ROTOWIRE

Probable for Week 6 Adeyi (undisclosed) is probable to face Georgia State on Saturday.

Impact Adeyi didn't play in Week 5 due to an undisclosed injury, but the probable tag suggests he should be able to return in Week 6. Adeyi last played in Week 4, where he rushed 13 times for 87 yards against Liberty.

OCTOBER 1 • ROTOWIRE

Sits out Week 5 Adeyi (undisclosed) did not play during James Madison's 35-10 win Saturday against Georgia Southern.

Impact Adeyi was unable to build off his Week 4 performance at Liberty and will have to wait until Week 6 before he gets another chance on the football field. According to Jarvis Haren of WHSVnews, Adeyi pulled a muscle earlier this week but was "really close" to playing. James Madison's next game sees a Saturday matchup at Georgia State.

SEPTEMBER 28 • ROTOWIRE

DNP for Week 5 Adeyi (undisclosed) did not play during James Madison's 35-10 win Saturday against Georgia Southern.

SEPTEMBER 28 • ROTOWIRE

Game-time decision for Week 5 Adeyi (undisclosed) is a game-time decision for Saturday's game against Georgia Southern.

Impact It appears that between Weeks 4 and 5, Adeyi suffered an undisclosed problem, which is currently affecting his availability. Easily a top-two back for James Madison, the running back will not look to miss Week 5, especially after a season-best performance in JMU's previous game.

SEPTEMBER 27 • ROTOWIRE

Back in action Adeyi (redshirt) is participating in JMU's spring practices, Dave Riggert of Harrisonburg Radio Group reports.

Impact Adeyi, who took a medical redshirt last season with a lower-body injury, is back in action for the Dukes. The 5-foot-8 senior transfer from North Texas handled 143 carries for 1,017 yards and six scores during his last season with the Mean Green.

MARCH 14 • ROTOWIRE

Plans to redshirt Adeyi (lower body) plans to redshirt James Madison's 2024 season, JMU Sports News reports.

Impact Currently, Adeyi is looking to re-enroll at James Madison for the team's 2025 season. However, he can play two games and maintain his redshirt for JMU's 2024 campaign. It looks like the last two games are still possible for him to play, but JMU's next three are matchups he is expected to sit out.

OCTOBER 21, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Remains off depth chart Adeyi (lower body) still isn't listed on James Madison's depth chart, per JMU Sports News.

Impact Adeyi hasn't played since Week 2, and it seems increasingly unlikely that he'll make his return to the field this week against Georgia Southern. The tailback still has no timetable for a return to action, which should once again leave Tyler Purdy and George Pettaway to handle most of the work in the Dukes' backfield.

OCTOBER 16, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Not listed on Week 7 depth chart Adeyi (lower body) is not listed on the depth chart for the Week 7 matchup against Coastal Carolina on Thursday, according to JMU Sports News.

Impact The absence of Adeyi from another depth chart should be at least concerning, and right now, the running back doesn't have a timetable for his return to action. If he doesn't feature Thursday, then Tyler Purdy and Jobi Malary would be in line to see more touches as potential backups to George Pettaway.

OCTOBER 8, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Injury revealed Adeyi has a lower-body injury, JMU Sports News reports.

Impact Previously undisclosed, Adeyi's lower-body injury caused him to sit out another game Saturday. Currently, JMU's next game is scheduled for this coming Saturday at Louisiana-Monroe.

SEPTEMBER 30, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Off Week 5 Depth Chart Adeyi (undisclosed) is not listed on JMU's Week 5 depth chart, JMU Sports News reports.

Impact Adeyi, who missed last week's high-flying win over UNC, appears set to miss his second-consecutive game with an undisclosed injury. The 5-foot-8 senior has logged 21 carries for 40 yards and a touchdown across two games this season. If Adeyi isn't able to suit up against Ball State in Week 5, his next opportunity to return will come against Louisiana-Monroe on Oct. 5.

SEPTEMBER 28, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Not seen warming up Adeyi did not come out to the field with his fellow running backs ahead of Saturday's game at North Carolina, Shane Mettlen of the Daily News-Record reports.

Impact Adeyi was not spotted warming up ahead of Saturday's contest, a concerning sign for his chances to play. He suffered an undisclosed injury in Week 2 and is at risk of missing Saturday's game as a result. If he does not play, Tyler Purdy should see increased work.
