Steelers' Montravius Adams: Leaves practice with ankle injury
Rotowire
Adams left Tuesday's practice with an ankle injury, Ray Fittipaldo of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette reports.
The severity of the issue remains unclear, but it's certainly something worth monitoring ahead of Saturday's preseason opener against the Seahawks. Adams re-signed with the Steelers via a two-year, $5 million deal this offseason and is expected to provide depth along Pittsburgh's defensive front.

Steelers' Montravius Adams: Off COVID list
Rotowire
Adams (undisclosed) was activated from the reserve/COVID-19 list Friday.
Adams has been on the COVID-19 list since last week but is now clear of the health and safety protocols. The 26-year-old was signed off the Saints' practice squad in late November and has four tackles in two games with the Steelers.
Adams was placed on the reserve/COVID-19 list Wednesday, Teresa Varley of the Steelers official site reports.
Adams was signed off the Saints' practice squad on Nov. 29 and played a prominent reserve role at nose tackle upon his arrival while Isaiah Buggs was out with an ankle injury. With Buggs expected to return Sunday against the Titans, Adams was headed toward a diminished role whether or not he is cleared to play in time.

Saints' Montravius Adams: Signed to active roster
Rotowire
The Saints signed Adams to their active roster Monday, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.
Adams has unique athleticism for a 6-foot-4, 300-plus pound lineman, but he hasn't been able to put it all together at the NFL level. He will join Christian Ringo, Shy Tuttle and Albert Huggins on the interior of the Saints' defensive line.

Packers' Montravius Adams: Moves to injured reserve
Rotowire
Adams (toe) was placed on injured reserve Wednesday.
Adams missed Sunday's loss to the Colts due to the toe injury and will now be unavailable for at least the next three games. Kingsley Keke and Billy Winn are currently the only reserve defensive lineman on Green Bay's roster, though recent waiver claim Anthony Rush should clear the league's COVID-19 protocols in the next few days.

Packers' Montravius Adams: Active for Week 6
Rotowire
Adams (toe) will suit up in Sunday's game against the Buccaneers.
Adams was questionable entering the game with the toe problem, so the fact that he's ready for game action is evidence of his clean bill of health. Look for Adams to handle his usual rotational role across the defensive line for Sunday's game.

Packers' Montravius Adams: Limited practice status
Rotowire
Adams (toe) was a limited participant for Wednesday's practice, Rob Demovsky of ESPN.com reports.
Adams was inactive for Week 1's game against Minnesota with the toe issue and he could be in jeopardy of missing more time. The Auburn product likely will have to continue to log at least limited participation in practice to have a chance to suit up Sunday.

Packers' Montravius Adams: Returns to practice field
Rotowire
Adams (shoulder) was a limited participant in Wednesday's practice, Matt Schneidman of The Athletic reports.
This is Adams' first appearance in practice in over two weeks. If Adams can shake off the injury before Sunday's game versus the Cowboys, he could have a large role on defense. Over the last three weeks, the Packers have failed to keep any opponent under 149 rushing yards, so Adams' run-stopping skills would come in handy in Green Bay's quest to slow down Ezekiel Elliott.

Packers' Montravius Adams: Can't play TNF
Rotowire
Adams (shoulder) was ruled out for Thursday's game versus the Eagles, Rob Demovsky of ESPN.com reports.
Adams will miss his second straight game. In Week 3, the Packers bumped Tyler Lancaster to defensive end, and Lancaster was solid with seven tackles. They'll likely deploy a similar setup Thursday. Adams will have extra rest leading up to Week 5's game versus the Cowboys.

Packers' Montravius Adams: Doubtful Week 3
Rotowire
Adams has been deemed doubtful for Sunday's game against the Broncos due to a shoulder injury, Ryan Wood of the Green Bay Press-Gazette reports.
Adams was unable to practice all week after presumably injuring his shoulder in the Packers' Week 2 victory over the Vikings. Barring a quick turnaround in health, he seems unlikely to suit up Sunday. If that is ultimately the case, look for Kingsley Keke and Fadol Brown to fill in at defensive end.

Packers' Montravius Adams: Plays in every game in 2018
Rotowire
Adams appeared in 16 games for the Packers in 2018, and finished with 20 tackles (11 solo) and 1.5 sacks.
Adams made far more of an impact than he did in his rookie season, when he tallied just two tackles over seven games. Despite the improvement, the 2017 third-rounder is likely looking at a reserve role again in 2019.

Packers' Montravius Adams: Doesn't make much noise in rookie season
Rotowire
Adams totaled two tackles (one solo) over seven games during his rookie season of 2017.
The Packers were certainly hoping for more from Adams after selecting him in the third round, but an offseason foot injury slowed his progress and deemed him essentially a non-factor in his first year as a pro. As long as he is healthy, Adams will get a chance to play a bigger role in his sophomore campaign.

Packers' Montravius Adams: Ditches walking boot
Rotowire
Adams (foot) was seen without a walking boot at Tuesday's practice, Rob Demovsky of ESPN.com reports.
Just more than two weeks removed from foot surgery, Adams was able to join his teammates on the field, albeit as a spectator without pads. Due to the nature of the procedure -- he had a screw inserted in his foot -- he's expected to miss the entirety of his first NFL preseason. Once healthy, though, the 2017 third-round pick will provide depth to the Packers defensive front.

Packers' Montravius Adams: Seen in walking boot
Rotowire
Adams (foot) was seen in just a walking boot Friday, Ryan Rood of the Green Bay Press-Gazette reports.
Adams was last seen in a cast following the Packers' Family Night on Saturday, so the downgrade to a boot can be seen as notable progress. Adams originally seemed like a virtual lock to kick the year off on the Physically Unable to Perform list, but the latest news means there may be hope he can still avoid the designation.

Packers' Montravius Adams: Picked by Packers
Rotowire
The Packers selected Adams in the third round of the 2017 NFL Draft, 93rd overall.
Adams was a productive member of a very strong Auburn defense this year, and he solidified his prospect profile with a good showing at the Combine. At 6-foot-4, 304 pounds, Adams posted a 4.87-second 40-yard dash along with a 108-inch broad jump and 7.62-second three-cone. He should contribute meaningful snaps right away, even if off the bench.
