Inks deal with G-Men
The Giants signed Adams on Friday.
Analysis: The 28-year-old veteran linebacker has 85 games of experience under his belt. Adams played in all 17 games for the Browns last season and has also spent time with the Bears and Colts during his six-year career. He's a capable depth linebacker who excels on special teams.

Back at practice
Adams (calf) returned to practice Tuesday, Zac Jackson of The Athletic reports.
Analysis: Adams had been sidelined for most of camp. The veteran linebacker and special teams player signed a one-year deal with Cleveland in the offseason after spending last season with the Bears.

Dealing with calf injury
Head coach Kevin Stefanski said Thursday that Adams (calf) will miss a couple of weeks, Scott Petrak of the Elyria Chronicle-Telegram reports.
Analysis: Adams has mostly contributed on special teams in his five-year NFL career but was able to record 187 snaps on defense and 26 tackles last year with the Bears, both of which were the most since 2018. The timing of Adams' injury could make it difficult for him to get healthy in time for the Aug. 3 preseason matchup against the Jets, but it could be more doable for him to be back for the Browns' Aug. 11 encounter with the Commanders. Once healthy, he's set to compete for a depth/special teams role.

Heads to Cleveland
The Browns signed Adams on Tuesday.
Analysis: Adams posted 26 tackles across 10 games for the Bears in 2022, but the majority of his production came over the final seven weeks of the season. The 2018 seventh-round pick started his career with the Colts and worked with current Browns special teams coordinator Bubba Ventrone, who held the same title during Adams' time in Indianapolis.

Set for free agency
Adams notched two tackles in the Bears' 29-13 loss to the Vikings in Week 18, and ended the season with 26 tackles and a forced fumble over 10 games played.
Analysis: Adams missed seven games with a calf injury, and in the nine games he played, he had two or fewer tackles in six of them. However, on a per-game basis, this was the most productive year of his five-year career. After playing about 20 snaps per game, he'll likely compete for a depth role next year as an unrestricted free agent.

Activated from IR
The Bears activated Adams (calf) from injured reserve Wednesday, Kevin Fishbain of The Athletic reports.
Analysis: Adams resumed practicing last week, and Chicago has seen enough to now bring him back to the active roster. That puts the 26-year-old on track to resume handling a depth role on defense beginning with Sunday's matchup against the Falcons.

Will practice Wednesday
Chicago designated Adams (calf) to return from injured reserve Wednesday, Kevin Fishbain of The Athletic reports.
Analysis: Adams was placed on IR in mid-October due to a calf injury, but he'll return to practice Wednesday. With the move, Chicago opens up a 21-day window for the linebacker to be added to the active roster, but if he isn't, Adams will revert to IR for the remainder of the campaign.

Goes on injured reserve
Adams (calf) was placed on IR on Tuesday.
Analysis: Adams left Sunday's loss the Vikings early with the injury, then was a DNP on the team's estimated practice report Monday. The fifth-year linebacker has struggled to stay healthy this season, already missing Weeks 3 and 4 due to a hamstring injury. He'll now be forced to miss at least the next four weeks, with a return of Nov. 13 against the Lions being his earliest eligibility.

Estimated DNP
Adams (calf) was a non-participant in the Bears' estimated practice report Monday, Courtney Cronin of ESPN.com reports.
Analysis: Adams continues to deal with injuries, as he missed Week 3 and 4 with a hamstring issue. He then suffered a calf injury in Sunday's loss to the Vikings that forced his early exit. With the Bears on a short week and hosting the Commanders on Thursday, Adams will need to make a quick recovery to be active for the game.

Suffers calf injury Sunday
Adams is questionable to return to Sunday's game against the Vikings due to a calf injury, Brad Biggs of the Chicago Tribune reports.
Analysis: Adams missed the team's previous two games due to a hamstring injury but returned to full practices ahead of Week 5 and was cleared for action. He recorded one tackle before leaving the game in the second half due to a new calf injury. In his absence, Joe Thomas and Jack Sanborn are candidates for increased roles.

Back in full Thursday
Adams (hamstring) was listed as a full participant on the Bears' injury report Thursday.
Analysis: Adams has been sidelined for Chicago's last two games while dealing with a hamstring injury, which kept him limited during practice Wednesday as well. The 26-year-old recorded six tackles while playing just under half of his 73 total snaps on defense over the first two weeks, and he should see a consistent role in both phases moving forward.

Officially out
Adams (hamstring) is inactive Sunday against the Giants.
Analysis: Adams was considered doubtful coming into the day, so his absence is not a surprise. Joe Thomas, who was recently signed to the active roster, will likely see the majority of snaps at outside linebacker.

Unlikely to play Sunday
Adams (hamstring) is doubtful for Sunday against the Giants.
Analysis: Adams was able to log a limited practice Friday after logging DNP's on Wednesday and Thursday, but that may not be enough for the 26-year-old to take the field Sunday. Assuming he is out, recent signee to the active roster Joe Thomas will likely be looking at an increased snap count.

Out for Week 3
Adams (hamstring) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Texans.
Analysis: Adams practiced in full Wednesday, only to miss practice the rest of the week. He played primarily on special teams through the first two games of the season, logging six total tackles.

Back in action Saturday
Adams (shoulder) recorded four tackles during the Bears' preseason finale against the Browns.
Analysis: Adams suffered a right shoulder injury during Chicago's previous preseason outing against Seattle, though he looks to be healthy once again given his participation Saturday. The fifth-year linebacker recorded 10 tackles while playing all but one of his 349 total snaps on special teams with the Colts last year, and his familiarity with new Bears head coach Matt Eberflus should greatly improve his chances of surviving the team's final roster cuts Tuesday.

Suffers shoulder injury
Adams (shoulder) is considered questionable to return to Thursday's preseason contest against the Seahawks.
Analysis: After Adams joined the Bears this offseason, the linebacker was arrested in June for gun possession. The 26-year-old could miss some more time before the season starts with a shoulder injury which he suffered at the end of a screen pass in the first quarter of Thursday's preseason contest.

Arrested Thursday
Adams was arrested in Chicago on Thursday and charged with misdemeanor illegal gun possession and possessing a high-capacity magazine and metal-piercing bullets, Patrick Finley of the Chicago Sun Times reports.
Analysis: Adams, who joined the Bears on a one-year deal this offseason, had a license for the weapon but it wasn't registered in the state of Illinois. His court date is scheduled for Aug. 24, but it's unclear what type of discipline he'll face from the league.

Headed to Chicago
Adams signed a one-year contract with the Bears on Saturday, Patrick Finley of Chicago Sun Times reports.
Analysis: Adams was a special teams ace for the Colts a year ago, totaling 10 tackles across 348 special-team snaps. The 2018 seventh-round pick figures to garner a similar role for the Bears in 2022.

Limited to special teams
Adams had one total tackle in Sunday's loss to Seattle.
Analysis: Adams played all 22 snaps on special teams. He may be limited to special teams in a reserve linebacker role.

Back from COVID list
Adams (undisclosed) was activated from the reserve/COVID-19 list Monday, Andrew Walker of the Colts' official site reports.
Analysis: The 24-year-old landed on the COVID-19 list last week but is now back on the active roster. Adams has exclusively played special teams in his three appearances this season.

Heads to COVID-19 list
The Colts placed Adams on the reserve/COVID-19 list Wednesday.
Analysis: Adams has either tested positive for the virus or come into close contact with an infected person. He'll need to clear the proper protocols before returning to team activities.

Activated off IR
The Colts activated Adams (ankle) off injured reserve Saturday.
Analysis: Adams returned to practice Wednesday and has apparently shown enough to return for Sunday's game against the Ravens. While he is unlikely to make much of an impact on defense, he figures to again be a key piece on the Colts' special teams units.

Back at practice
Adams (ankle) returned to practice Wednesday for the first time since landing on IR, Andrew Walker of the team's official site reports.
Analysis: The Colts will now have 21 days to decide whether to activate Adams to the roster or keep him on IR for the remainder of the season. Adams was a key piece on the Colts' special teams unit but he won't likely make an impact on the defense the remainder of the 2020 campaign.

Lands on IR
The Colts placed Adams (ankle) on injured reserve Saturday.
Analysis: Adams now has to be sidelined for at least three weeks before he can potentially return from IR. He is primarily a special teams contributor for the team.

Won't play Sunday
Adams (ankle) has been ruled out for Sunday's game versus the Jets.
Analysis: Adams has played exclusively on special teams this season, so his absence won't shake up the defensive dynamic in the matchup against the winless Jets.

Exits contest Sunday
Adams (ankle) left Sunday's contest against Minnesota and won't return, Joel Erickson of the Indy Star reports.
Analysis: Adams was forced to leave the contest in the first half with an ankle injury. With the depth linebacker sidelined, only Jordan Glasgow and Zaire Franklin are healthy depth options at linebacker for the remainder of the game.

All clear for Week 1
Adams (ankle) is officially active for Sunday's matchup against Jacksonville.
Analysis: Although Adams logged a full practice in Friday's session, he still came into the contest with a questionable tag, casting doubt on his Week 1 availability. Now healthy, Adams is expected to handle a depth role at linebacker for Sunday's action.
Published: Sun, Sep 13 at 9:13am by Rotowire.com

Listed as questionable
Adams (ankle) is questionable for Sunday's game versus the Jaguars.
Analysis: Adams was a full participant in Friday's practice, but he'll still be monitored over the weekend leading up to the divisional matchup. The 24-year-old is expected to work in a reserve role for most of the year anyway, so his absence won't shake up the defensive dynamic much.
