Let go Tuesday Adams was cut from the Saints' practice squad Tuesday, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.

Let go by Saints Adams was cut from New Orleans' practice squad Friday, Aaron Wilson of Sportstalk 790 Houston reports.

Joins New Orleans' practice squad Adams was signed to the Saints' practice squad on Wednesday.

Impact Adams was waived by the Jets early in October. The 24-year-old will likely fill a reserve role behind the Saints' main ball carriers on the active roster.

Hits waviers The Jets waived Adams on Saturday, Doug Kyed of Pro Football Focus reports.

Impact Adams was inactive for the first two weeks of the season and only played 11 special-team snaps in Week 3. The 24-year-old running back will need to find a new team for the 2021 campaign.

Inactive in Week 1 Adams (coach's decision) is inactive for Week 1 against the Panthers.

Impact Adams was signed to the active roster from the practice squad in order to provide depth, but he didn't make the cut for the season opener. His next chance to suit up will come next Sunday in a home matchup against the Patriots.

SEPTEMBER 12, 2021 • ROTOWIRE

Promoted from practice squad Adams was signed to the Jets' 53-man roster Monday, Ethan Greenberg of the team's official site reports.

Impact Adams joined the practice squad after being cut by New York at last week's roster deadline, but he'll quickly make his way to the active roster. The 24-year-old will provide added backfield depth while Michael Carter (undiisclosed) and La'Mical Perine (foot) deal with minor injuries.

Stashed on Jets practice squad Adams was added to the Jets' practice squad Wednesday, Andy Vasquez of USA Today Sports reports.

Impact This was the expected outcome for Adams after he was cut, as New York still sees potential in the Notre Dame product but prefers the four running backs it kept on the roster. The team won't hesitate to promote Adams to the roster should injuries strike during the regular season.

Cut by Jets Adams was waived by the Jets on Tuesday, Connor Hughes of The Athletic reports.

Impact Adams had a strong finish to the preseason with 12 carries for 62 yards and three catches for 17 yards Friday against the Eagles, but it wasn't enough to secure a spot on the initial 53-man roster. New York hopes to keep the 24-year-old around on the practice squad if he goes unclaimed on waivers.

Solid showing caps off preseason Adams rushed 12 times for 62 yards and caught three of four targets in Friday's preseason finale against the Eagles. He also ran in a two-point conversion.

Impact Adams' performance may not be enough to move him up from fifth on the Jets' backfield depth chart, but the team will likely try to keep him around on the practice squad considering the 24-year-old running back averaged 5.4 yards per carry on his 29 attempts last season. His two-point conversion tied the game at 31-31 with no time on the clock after James Morgan found Kenny Yeboah for a 49-yard touchdown on the game's final play.

JULY 21, 2021 • NEWYORKJETS.COM

Back with Jets Adams re-signed on a one-year deal with the Jets on Monday, Connor Hughes of The Athletic reports.

Impact The Jets did not tender Adams in restricted free agency, though he still lands back for a third season with the team.His role in the offense was limited in 2020, as he managed only 75 offensive snaps and 29 rushing attempts. Currently, there's no clear starting option on the team's roster as Ty Johnson and La'Mical Perine project to serve as the lead backs.

Finds end zone in finale Adams rushed 11 times for 47 yards and a touchdown while catching two of four targets for 12 yards in Sunday's 28-14 loss to the Patriots to close out the season.

Impact Adams scored from one yard out in the third quarter to bookend his season with touchdowns, as his only other visit to the end zone came all the way back in Week 1. He and Ty Johnson each got 11 carries with Frank Gore (chest) and La'Mical Perine (illness) out. Adams was fourth on New York's running back depth chart with everybody healthy, and he'll be fighting an uphill battle for a roster spot next season.

Gase focused on Jets' finale, not speculation about future

Adam Gase came to the New York Jets nearly two years ago on a clear mission

DECEMBER 30, 2020 • Associated Press

Leading rusher out of three RBs Adams rushed six times for 27 yards and caught both of his targets for three yards in Sunday's 40-3 loss to the Seahawks.

Impact Adams led the Jets in rushing yards, narrowly edging Frank Gore (eight carries for 23 yards) and Ty Johnson (eight carries for 16 yards). Most of Adams' production came in garbage time, however, and working as part of a three-man running back rotation in the league's lowest-scoring offense isn't a recipe for success heading into a Week 15 matchup with the Rams.

Tops 70 yards Adams rushed eight times for 74 yards and wasn't targeted in the passing game in Sunday's 31-28 loss to the Raiders.

Impact The Jets leaned primarily on Ty Johnson (22 carries for 104 yards and a touchdown) after Frank Gore suffered a concussion early on, but Adams made the most of his change-of-pace role against the vulnerable Raiders run defense. Adams should see a similar role behind Johnson against the Seahawks in Week 14 if Gore's not ready to return.

Change of Plans: Ty Johnson & Josh Adams Nearly Run Jets to Victory RBs Take Over Ground Game After Early Frank Gore Concussion, Lead a Remarkable 206-Yard Rushing Effort

DECEMBER 6, 2020 • NEWYORKJETS.COM

One touch in Week 12 Adams rushed once for one yard in Sunday's 20-3 loss to Miami.

Impact The rumblings about a running back rotation following La'Mical Perine's ankle injury didn't hold much water on game day, as Frank Gore got 21 touches to three for Ty Johnson and once for Adams. Adams' barely existent role on New York's league-worst offense doesn't inspire much confidence ahead of a Week 13 clash with the Raiders.

Jets Sign RB Josh Adams, Place La'Mical Perine on Injured Reserve Green & White Also Place K Sam Ficken on IR, Sign TE Ross Travis to Active Roster

NOVEMBER 24, 2020 • NEWYORKJETS.COM

Signs with Gang Green The Jets signed Adams to the active roster Tuesday, Mike Garafolo of NFL Network reports.

Impact La'Mical Perine suffered a high-ankle sprain during Sunday's loss to the Chargers and is expected to miss at least a couple of games. Adams was promoted as a result, and he'll add depth in the backfield behind Frank Gore and Ty Johnson. Through five games with the Jets over the past two seasons, Adams recorded 20 yards and a touchdown on 11 carries and caught two passes for 14 yards.

NOVEMBER 24, 2020 • ROTOWIRE

Drops back to practice roster Adams reverted to the Jets' practice squad Monday, Rich Cimini of ESPN.com reports.

Impact Adams played just five offensive snaps in Sunday's loss to the 49ers and didn't record a touch. He stands a good chance to be brought back up for Week 3 against the Colts since Le'Veon Bell (hamstring) will miss the next two games.

SEPTEMBER 21, 2020 • ROTOWIRE

Stuffed on fourth down Adams rushed once for no gain in Sunday's 31-13 loss to San Francisco.

Impact Adams' usage was peculiar, as his only touch came on arguably the game's most important play; he was stuffed on a 4th-and-1 play from San Francisco's 20-yard-line with the Jets down 14-3 late in the first half. After New York turned it over on downs, the 49ers proceeded to drive the ball down the field for a touchdown to take a 21-3 lead into the locker room. Frank Gore (21 carries for 63 yards) is New York's clear lead back with Le'Veon Bell (hamstring) on the shelf, and rookie La'Mical Perine is also ahead of Hart in the running back pecking order.
