Jets interim head coach Jeff Ulbrich mentioned on Tuesday that he was optimistic about wide receiver Davante Adams playing in Sunday’s game against the Steelers, but he also said it was too soon to confirm.
However, Ulbrich quickly assessed Adams’s condition. During a Wednesday press conference, he stated that he expects Adams to be part of the team this weekend.
Adams was traded from the Raiders on Tuesday and had missed the last two games due to a hamstring injury. His absence also lined up with his request to be traded. On The Pat McAfee Show on Tuesday, Adams said he is healthy and ready to play.
Although the Jets’ offense is new to him, Adams has a background with quarterback Aaron Rodgers, which the Jets hope will make it easier for him to adjust.
