Jets' Tony Adams: Inactive for Week 14
Adams (groin) is inactive for Sunday's game against the Dolphins, Rich Cimini of ESPN.com reports.
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.

Jets' Tony Adams: Doubtful for Sunday
Adams (groin) has been downgraded to doubtful for Sunday's game against the Dolphins.
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. The Jets' secondary has also received an influx of new help for Sunday's contest with the signing of Jordan Clark and the elevation from the practice squad of defensive backs Tre Brown and Nik Needham.

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

Adams is expected to start at free safety due to Andre Cisco (pectoral) being sidelined for the rest of the season, Rich Cimini of ESPN.com reports.
Adams opened the season as a starter alongside Cisco in the Jets' secondary before rookie Malachi Moore replaced him at strong safety in the Week 6 loss to the Broncos. With Cisco set to miss the remainder of the the season, Adams appears positioned to assume a starting role once again.

Jets' Tony Adams: Officially back with Jets
Adams signed his restricted free-agent tender with the Jets on Friday, Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston reports.
Adams will return to the Jets on a one-year contract, which the team offered him in March. He has appeared in 30 games over the past two seasons, starting all but four of those while compiling 166 tackles and 11 passes defensed over that span. Adams can tentatively be penciled in as the starting strong safety heading into 2025, though the Jets could still add competition via the draft or free agency.

Jets' Tony Adams: Logs career-high tackle total
Adams registered 84 tackles (42 solo), including 1.0 sacks, along with six pass defenses (one of which was an interception) over 15 games (11 starts) during the 2024 campaign.
Despite recording 143 fewer defense snaps than in 2023, Adams increased his tackle total by two. He also had one more pass defense than in the previous campaign, though he finished with two fewer interceptions. Adams was somewhat surprisingly taken out of the starting lineup Weeks 11-14, though he returned to the starting unit for New York's final three games after Jalen Mills was placed on IR due to a collarbone injury. Adams will be a restricted free agent upon the start of the offseason, and given his late-season demotion, it's uncertain if he'll be back with the club for another campaign.
