Top Paulson Adebo News

  • Giants' Paulson Adebo: Active, as expected

    Adebo (knee) is active Week 7 against the Texans, Dan Salomone of the Giants' official site reports.

    Adebo was activated from IR this week but still had a questionable tag after a week of limited practices. He'll ultimately get the nod to play for the first time since Week 1, and the veteran corner stands to see a significant number of snaps due Greg Newsome (concussion) getting ruled out, plus several other members of the New York secondary on IR.

  • Giants' Paulson Adebo: Activated from IR, expected to start Sunday

    The Giants activated Adebo (knee) from injured reserve Saturday, Dan Duggan of The Athletic reports.

    Adebo is still listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Texans, but he's expected to start at outside cornerback due to the absence of Greg Newsome (concussion), per Jordan Raanan of ESPN.com. Adebo was placed on injured reserve in mid-September due to a knee injury that he sustained during the Giants' Week 1 win over the Cowboys, and he finished that contest with three solo tackles.

  • Giants' Paulson Adebo: Could return against Houston

    Adebo (knee) is questionable for Sunday's game against the Texans.

    Adebo has missed the Giants' last five games while on IR due to a knee injury. His 21-day practice window opened Wednesday, and he strung together three consecutive limited sessions to draw the questionable tag ahead of Sunday's contest. Adebo's return would boost the Giants' secondary and give the team another contributor on special teams.

  • Giants' Paulson Adebo: Cleared to return to practice

    The Giants designated Adebo (knee) to return from injured reserve Wednesday, Dan Duggan of The Athletic reports.

    Adebo was placed on the Giants' injured reserve following the team's Week 1 win over the Cowboys due to a knee injury. He's been sidelined for the last five games, but he's progressed enough in his recovery to return to practice and was a limited participant in Wednesday's session, per Dan Salomone of the Giants' official site. Adebo would need to be activated from IR by Saturday at 4:00 p.m. ET in order to be available for Sunday's game against the Texans.

  • Giants' Paulson Adebo: Placed on injured reserve

    The Giants placed Adebo (knee) on injured reserve Friday, Dan Salomone of the team's official site reports.

    Adebo suffered a significant knee injury during last Sunday's win over the Cowboys. The cornerback made three solo tackles on 10 defensive snaps before exiting the game. The 27-year-old will now need to miss at least four games before he is eligible to return from IR. The Giants signed cornerback Nikko Reed to the active roster from the Chargers' practice squad in a corresponding move.

  • Giants' Paulson Adebo: Not listed on injury report

    Adebo (hamstring) was not listed on the Giants' injury report Wednesday.

    Adebo was working through a hamstring issue during training camp, but his absence from the Giants' injury report following Wednesday's practice indicates that he'll play in Sunday's regular-season opener against the Cowboys. Adebo is entering the second year of a three-year, $54 million contract that he signed with the Giants in March of 2025, though he may be limited to a rotational role in the secondary behind fellow outside corners Greg Newsome and Deonte Banks. Adebo recorded 73 tackles (56 solo) and eight pass defenses (including an interception) across 12 regular-season games last year.

  • Giants' Paulson Adebo: Won't play Saturday

    Adebo (hamstring) will not play in Saturday's preseason game against the Vikings, Dan Duggan of The Athletic reports.

    It is unclear when Adebo picked up the hamstring issue, but the injury will likely keep the cornerback out for at least another week. Adebo is set to start at outside cornerback opposite Greg Newsome (knee) this season. Both starters are dealing with injuries, so the Giants will likely lean on Deonte Banks and Colton Hood throughout the preseason.

  • Giants' Paulson Adebo: Logs 12 games in first year in NY

    Adebo posted 73 tackles and eight defensed passes (including an interception) over 12 contests during the 2025-26 season.

    Adebo joined the Giants during the offseason and started all 12 games in which he appeared. However, the Stanford product missed five games due to a knee injury, and he's played in just 19 contests over the past two campaigns. Adebo did record the second-highest tackle total of his career, but he had his fewest interceptions since 2022. He should be back as one of New York's starting cornerbacks in what will be the second campaign of his three-year contract next season.
