Impact Adams will miss the remainder of the regular season due to a groin injury sustained during New York's loss to the Jaguars in Week 15.

Questionable to return Sunday Adams (groin) is questionable to return to Sunday's game against the Jaguars.

Impact Adams didn't play in Week 14 against the Dolphins due to a groin injury, and it appears he may have aggravated the injury during Sunday's game. Dean Clark is in line for more defensive snaps at safety for as long as Adams is out of the game.

Practices in full Wednesday Adams (groin) was a full participant in Wednesday's practice, Rich Cimini of ESPN.com reports.

Impact Adams suffered a groin injury Week 13 against Atlanta and missed this past Sunday's loss to the Dolphins. However, his return to full practice participation Wednesday suggests that he should be able to return to action against Jacksonville this weekend. Isaiah Oliver logged a start at safety in Adams' stead versus Miami, but Oliver will likely return to a rotational role should Adams indeed be able to suit up Sunday.

DECEMBER 11, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Inactive for Week 14 Adams is inactive for Sunday's game against the Dolphins, Rich Cimini of ESPN.com reports.

Impact As expected, Adams will be inactive after being downgraded to doubtful Saturday afternoon. The safety didn't practice Wednesday or Thursday during Week 14 prep, but he logged a full session Friday, putting him on track to return to action next week. Isaiah Oliver is expected to start in Adams' place opposite Malachi Moore, but the Jets also signed Jordan Clark this week, plus they elevated Tre Brown and Nik Needham from the practice squad.

Doubtful for Sunday Adams (groin) has been downgraded to doubtful for Sunday's game against the Dolphins.

Impact Adams logged a full practice Friday after being unable to participate in both sessions earlier in the week. The full practice was a promising sign for the safety, but the downgrade to doubtful implies the veteran suffered a setback in his recovery. If Adams is unable to suit up, Isaiah Oliver is next in line to start at free safety opposite Malachi Moore.

Questionable to play vs. Miami Adams (groin) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Dolphins.

Impact Adams opened the week with back-to-back DNPs due to a groin injury he sustained during the Jets' Week 13 win over the Falcons. He was able to practice in full Friday to earn the questionable tag for Week 14, and his status may not be officially known until the Jets announce their list of inactive players approximately 90 minutes before Sunday's 1:00 p.m. ET kickoff. Isaiah Oliver would be in line to start at safety alongside Malachi Moore if Adams is not cleared to play.
