Tony Adams Injury: Unlikely to play vs. New England
Adams suffered a hamstring injury in practice on Wednesday
New York Jets cornerback Tony Adams is unlikely to play in Sunday's game against the New England Patriots, according to a source. Adams suffered a hamstring injury in practice on Wednesday and did not participate in Thursday's practice.
Adams has been a key part of the Jets' defense this season, starting all 16 games and recording three interceptions. His absence would be a major blow to the Jets' secondary, which is already without cornerback Bryce Hall (ankle).
The Jets are hoping that Adams will be able to return for the team's Week 18 game against the Miami Dolphins. However, if he is unable to play, the Jets will likely start either Isaiah Dunn or Lamar Jackson at cornerback opposite D.J. Reed.
