Adams (illness/wrist) wasn't spotted at Thursday's practice, Rich Cimini of ESPN.com reports.
Adams has now missed two straight practices with an illness and sore wrist, so what the wideout is able to do at Friday's session will likely be the determining factor in whether he carries a designation into Sunday's game against the Colts. Through his first four games with the Jets since being acquired by the Raiders, Adams is averaging five catches and 51.5 receiving yards per contest.

Jets' Davante Adams: Little production off 13 targets
Rotowire
Adams finished with six receptions (13 targets) for 31 yards in Sunday's 31-6 loss to the Cardinals.
Arizona was dead set on stopping the Aaron Rodgers to Adams connection Sunday, and the longtime star duo did not have an answer. The 31-year-old Adams has turned in three duds and one diamond over four games since being traded to the Jets. That said, it would be hard to bench a player of Adams' caliber against the Colts next Sunday before the team goes on its bye in Week 12.

Jets' Davante Adams: Best game yet with new team
Rotowire
Adams brought in seven of 11 targets for 91 yards and a touchdown in the Jets' 21-13 win over the Texans on Thursday night.
Adams was able to post team-best receiving yardage and target totals despite missing significant second-half time due to a concussion check. The star veteran wideout made a major splash upon his return to the game as well, recording a 37-yard touchdown grab with just under three minutes remaining to extend the Jets' lead to 21-10 and essentially seal the much-needed victory. Adams' totals were also his best yet since arriving in New York, affording him plenty of momentum heading into a Week 10 road matchup against the Cardinals on Sunday, Nov. 10.

Rotowire
Adams cleared concussion protocol and has returned to Thursday's game against the Texans, Brian Costello of the New York Post reports.

Jets' Davante Adams: In locker room
Rotowire
Adams exited Thursday's game against the Texans to be evaluated for a concussion, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.
Adams hauled in a 17-yard pass to convert on a fourth-down attempt late in the third quarter, though he was hit low and landed hard on the turf. He left the contest and was briefly evaluated in the medical tent before heading to the locker room. The Jets confirmed that he is undergoing an evaluation for a concussion, though he does not have an official injury designation.

Jets' Davante Adams: Slow start to Jets tenure
Rotowire
Adams caught four of six targets for 54 yards in Sunday's 25-22 loss to the Patriots.
Adams' modest showing included 16 meaningless yards on the game's final play, which ran out the clock before the Jets could get to the line for a spike. He finished second to Garrett Wilson (five catches on eight targets for 113 yards) in catches, targets and receiving yards. Adams has just 84 receiving yards through two games with the Jets, and he won't have much additional time to familiarize himself with his new surroundings before the trade acquisition's MetLife Stadium home debut Thursday against the Texans.

Jets' Davante Adams: Contrarian DFS Play
Rotowire
I am hopeful that Adams' Week 7 dud is enough to suppress his roster rate. The nine targets he saw were very encouraging, and now he'll have a full week of practice with the team and a much easier matchup against the New England Patriots. He projects as a top 10 wide receiver for me once again.

Jets' Davante Adams: Just 30 yards in Jets debut
Rotowire
Adams (hamstring) caught three of nine targets for 30 yards in Sunday's 37-15 loss to the Steelers.
Adams was targeted on the Jets' first play, but it fell incomplete, foreshadowing an underwhelming night in Adams' reunion with Aaron Rodgers. While the Jets insisted that Adams had a strong grasp of the playbook and gave him plenty of playing time, the trade acquisition will undoubtedly be sharper as he gains familiarity with his new team and gets further removed from the hamstring injury that had kept Adams out since Week 3. Adams will look to bounce back from this disappointing debut in Week 8 against the Patriots.

Jets' Davante Adams: Set for full workload in debut
Rotowire
Jets interim head coach Jeff Ulbrich said Friday that he expects Adams (hamstring) to have a full workload Sunday against the Steelers, Zack Rosenblatt of The Athletic reports.
Adams practiced without limitations Wednesday and Thursday after being acquired via trade from the Raiders on Tuesday. The star receiver isn't expected to have any limitations in his Jets debut, which will mark his first action since Week 3. Adams' lack of injury designation is a relief for his fantasy managers, who otherwise would have had a tricky decision on their hands because the Jets play in the third-to-last game of Week 7 on Sunday night.

Jets' Davante Adams: Fully participating in walk-through
Rotowire
Adams (hamstring) will be a full participant in Wednesday's walk-through practice, Eric Allen of the Jets' official site reports.
Adams last played Week 3 before the Raiders traded him to the Jets on Tuesday. He was able to pass a physical Tuesday before the trade became official, and his participation in Wednesday's session -- albeit a walk-through -- has the wideout trending toward playing Sunday against the Steelers, which interim head coach Jeff Ulbrich all but confirmed earlier Wednesday. Assuming he experiences no setbacks with his hamstring as the week progresses, Adams should head into the weekend without an injury designation. Though the Jets acquired Adams with the expectation that he'll combine with Garrett Wilson to form one of the top wideout duos in the NFL, it's unclear how much playing time or involvement in the game plan that Adams will get in his New York debut.

Jets' Davante Adams: Planning to make team debut Sunday
Rotowire
Adams (hamstring) is planning to make his Jets debut Sunday against the Steelers, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.
After he passed a physical Tuesday, Adams officially joined the Jets, who acquired the six-time Pro Bowl wideout from the Raiders in exchange for a 2025 conditional third-round draft pick. He had missed the Raiders' last three games with a hamstring injury, but if he's able to resume practicing the Jets likely won't hesitate to include him in the game plan for Sunday. The addition of Adams provides quarterback Aaron Rodgers with a familiar option in the passing game -- the two spent eight seasons together in Green Bay -- and should also help lessen the burden on Garrett Wilson, who had been targeted on 37 percent of Rodgers' pass attempts over the past two weeks. Shortly after the trade was finalized, Schefter relayed that Adams reworked his contract to lower his salary number to $3.21 million for 2024, and his deal now includes voidable years in 2025 and 2026. Adams and the Jets will wait and see how the remainder of the season plays out before discussing his future in New York.

Raiders' Davante Adams: Top DFS Play
Rotowire
I'm definitely buying into the narrative that Aaron Rodgers is going to force-feed his friend in their reunion. Adams projects. as a top-10 wide receiver for me, and I wouldn't be surprised if he sees double-digit targets and scores multiple touchdowns. Hopefully, the difficult matchup means he won't be as chalky as I fear.

Jets' Davante Adams: Trade to New York official
Rotowire
The Jets acquired Adams (hamstring) from the Raiders on Tuesday in exchange for a 2025 conditional third-round draft pick.
The two teams came to terms on the trade earlier Tuesday, but the deal wasn't officially announced until the star wideout arrived in New York and passed a physical. The Jets evidently aren't too concerned about the hamstring injury that kept Adams sidelined for the Raiders' last three games, and the team believes he will be ready to make his debut this Sunday in Pittsburgh, per Connor Hughes of SNY.tv. Adams will benefit from an upgrade in quarterback play, going from Gardner Minshew and Aidan O'Connell in Las Vegas to Aaron Rodgers in New York, but he'll face stiffer competition for targets as he joins Garrett Wilson and former Packers teammate Allen Lazard in the Jets receiver room. Adams' prior experience working with Rodgers in their eight seasons together in Green Bay could give him the inside track to emerge as the 1A option between he and Wilson, however, with Lazard bumped down to the No. 3 role. Adams has approximately $11.6 million remaining on his contract for 2024 and is due $36.25 million over the next two years, but that latter amount is non-guaranteed and could be re-worked if the Jets want to keep him in the fold beyond this season.

Raiders' Davante Adams: May not be moved after all
Rotowire
Adams (hamstring) could remain with the Raiders this season, despite recent trade discussions involving the star wideout, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.
Schefter describes Adams' situation as "fluid and unpredictable" while pointing out that the wideout's trade outlook "seems to change weekly." Among the factors that may play into the likelihood of Adams being traded is his current hamstring injury, which will keep him out of action for a third straight game Sunday against the Steelers, as well as Las Vegas' reported asking price of at least a second-draft pick. Additionally, Las Vegas has expressed a reluctance to pay any of the $72.5 million remaining on Adams' contract, which runs through the 2026 season. Adams' potential to upgrade another team's passing game is unquestioned -- he has four straight campaigns of over 1,100 receiving yards and at least eight touchdowns on his resume -- but it remains unclear whether an organization will be willing to meet the Raiders' high asking price. For his part, Adams seems to be receptive to returning to action for the Raiders once he's healthy if a trade isn't worked out. Schefter notes that the 31-year-old veteran is a big supporter of second-year quarterback Aidan O'Connell, who was appointed to the starting role this week in place of the struggling Gardner Minshew.

Raiders' Davante Adams: Not playing Sunday
Rotowire
Adams (hamstring) has been ruled out for Sunday's game versus the Steelers, Paul Gutierrez of ESPN.com reports.
Adams is in the midst of his recovery from a hamstring injury, which will force a third straight absence this weekend. Along the way, he made a trade request to the Raiders, who seem to be willing to move on from the 11-year pro. Interested parties are waiting on Adams to get back to full health before committing resources (likely draft capital) for the veteran wide receiver, so his next chance for game action, wherever that may be, will occur Week 7, at the earliest.

Raiders' Davante Adams: Unlikely to play Week 6
Rotowire
Adams (hamstring) isn't expected to play for the Raiders in Sunday's game against the Steelers, Jeremy Fowler of ESPN.com reports.
Though Adams is believed to be nearing full health as he recovers from a hamstring injury that has kept him out for the Raiders' last two contests, he's not trending toward being available this weekend. Adams' expected absence for Week 6 may have less to do with the hamstring injury at this point than it does his desire to be traded, and the Raiders could honor that request and hold the wideout out of action until a deal is reached. Adam Schefter of ESPN reported Saturday that trade discussions pertaining to Adams are expected to intensify this week, with the Saints and Jets currently viewed as the two favorites to acquire the 31-year-old receiver. The Steelers, Bills and Ravens are among the other teams who are believed to be in touch with the Raiders regarding Adams.

Raiders' Davante Adams: Nearing full health
Rotowire
Adams (hamstring) is nearing full health and is expected to be ready to play in time for Week 6, NFL Network's Ian Rapoport reports.
Where Adams will be playing in Week 6 is the big question, as trade chatter has been heating up regarding the veteran wideout. Adams is missing his second straight game Sunday against Denver, but it sounds like he's going to be ready to rock next week. Through three games, Adams has an 18-209-1 receiving line and is still a bona fide No. 1 receiver at 31 years old.

Raiders' Davante Adams: Trade talks likely to intensify
Rotowire
Adams (hamstring) will remain out for Sunday's game against the Broncos, and the Raiders are likely to ramp up trade discussions pertaining to the wide receiver while additional teams consider submitting offers, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.
Adams informed Las Vegas early this week that he would like to be traded, with the Jets and Saints reportedly his preferred organizations. The star wideout's current hamstring injury will keep him out of a second straight game Sunday and could delay the urgency of getting a deal done, but it doesn't seem likely to stand in the way of an eventual trade. Adams has said he is open to playing for several different teams, making a deal more likely to materialize.

Raiders' Davante Adams: Remains out from practice
Rotowire
Adams (hamstring) isn't taking part in Thursday's practice, Tashan Reed of The Athletic reports.
Adams has now sat out three straight practices dating back to last Friday and is considered unlikely to play this Sunday in Denver. His continued absence from practice due to the hamstring injury comes after he informed the Raiders on Tuesday that he's seeking a trade, per Ian Rapoport of NFL Network. The Jets top the list of Adams' preferred landing spots, according to Rapoport, but the wideout is reportedly open to several other teams, which could make facilitating a deal easier from the Raiders' standpoint. Las Vegas is looking for at least a second-round pick in exchange for Adams, and while the Raiders seem to be actively entertaining offers, no trade is expected to materialize until the 31-year-old has made a full recovery from the hamstring injury.
