Is Davante Adams playing tonight? Latest on Jets WR for Week 7 SNF clash vs Steelers

Davante Adams was traded to the New York Jets on Monday in exchange for a conditional third-round pick to the Las Vegas Raiders. Adams requested a trade earlier this season, and his wish was granted as he reunites with his former teammate, Aaron Rodgers.

With the Jets facing the Pittsburgh Steelers on Sunday night, one of the questions is if Adams would be available, as players sometimes miss a game after being traded to a new team. However, Jets coach Jeff Ulbrich confirmed earlier this week that he expects him to play.

While looking to be traded, Adams missed the last three games with Las Vegas as he was ruled out each week with a hamstring injury. As soon as he became a Jet, his hamstring issues vanished.

The New York Jets are in third place in the AFC East with a 2-4 record. There are still a lot of games left to be played, but the Jets need to hit a mid-season run if they want a chance at making the playoffs.

New York is hopeful that with the addition of Davante Adams and edge rusher Haason Reddick, who ended his holdout on Sunday morning, will help the team win games and be more competitive. Adams is now part of a deep wide receiver corps along with Garrett Wilson, Allen Lazard and Mike Williams.

While the Jets will have Davante Adams tonight, Reddick won't make his season debut yet. He is expected to return next week against the New England Patriots.
