Titans’ Jamal Adams ‘ready to go’ for Jets: ‘I’ll be there’

What Adams had to say about the occasion:

It will be Jamal Adams’ first game for the Tennessee Titans in Week 2.

That will naturally be overshadowed by another headline.

Adams signed with the Titans this offseason after leaving the Seattle Seahawks following a season-ending quad injury in 2023. Adams went on to miss Tennessee’s season opener with a hip injury but he is assuring everyone he is good to go for this upcoming week.

“I’ll be there,” Adams told reporters.

New York selected Adams sixth overall at the 2017 NFL draft. Things did not go well, leading to Adams’ ugly departure from the Jets four years ago when he went on to join the Seahawks.

Adams has only faced the Jets once in his career, back in 2020.

Aside from sounding exciting to get back on the field, in a surprise, Adams downplayed facing his former team again.

Titans injury report: Peter Skoronski limited

The Tennessee Titans added guard Peter Skoronski to the injury report Thursday.

One day after seeing every player take part in practice, the Titans were forced to make an addition to the injury report. Left guard Peter Skoronski was added to the report as a limited participant with a neck injury.

Tennessee’s 2023 first-round selection, Skoronski, is a huge part of the rebuilt offensive line, and any type of limitation would have a ripple effect. This is a situation to monitor as the week continues. 

Safety Jamal Adams continues to progress toward a Week 2 return to action, just in time for Tennessee’s game against the team that drafted him No. 6 overall in 2017.

‘It’s go time!’ Titans safety Jamal Adams ready to go against former team

Tennessee Titans safety Jamal Adams returned to the practice field and is poised to make his return Sunday against his former team.

After missing Week 1 due to a hip injury, the Tennessee Titans welcomed safety Jamal Adams back to the practice field on Wednesday. Today, the Titans are one step closer to seeing the veteran in action, and this could not happen at a better time or against a better team. 

Adams made a name for himself in the league with the New York Jets, who drafted No. 6 overall in the 2017 NFL draft. Unfortunately, that marriage didn’t last, and he forced his way out of New York via a pre-training camp trade four years ago. 

It was an ugly exit, as he publicly criticized every aspect of the Jets organization, from the coaching to the ownership. But today, the former Pro Bowl safety speaks differently about the organization. 

“I respect the hell out of the Jets. Absolutely,” Adams told reporters after practice on Wednesday. 

Since leaving the Jets, Adams has battled injuries and has not been the same intimidating force he was early in his career. Signed by the Titans as a free agent, the former All-Pro is ready for anything the Titans staff asks of him. 

The first step is to get healthy and back on the field, and that is what the new Titans safety intends to do in his Titans debut in Week 2 against his former team. 

Titans injury report: Jamal Adams returns to practice

The Tennessee Titans released their first injury report for Week 2 and see a veteran safety return to the field.

The Tennessee Titans returned to the practice field to start preparing for their Week 2 match-up against the New York Jets and it provided an opportunity to see where several of the team’s injured players are at.

All eyes were on safety Jamal Adams, who was inactive against the Bears and has yet to make his regular-season debut with the Titans. Adams returned to practice on Wednesday and looks to make an impact this week. 

Things appear to be trending in the right direction, as wide receiver DeAndre Hopkins and cornerback Chidobe Awuzie were removed from the injury report and fully participated in practice. The Titans’ Wednesday injury report can be found below:

Did not participate: N/A

Around the NFL: Titans safety Jamal Adams ruled OUT for Week 1

Around the NFL: Titans safety Jamal Adams ruled OUT for Week 1

The least surprising news of the weekend has dropped. On Friday, it was announced that Tennessee Titans safety Jamal Adams has been ruled out with a hip injury. After missing the last few days of practice, it seems Adams’ career with the Titans will begin where he spent most of it with the Seahawks – on the sideline.

Adams was released by Seattle this offseason. There were rumors the Seahawks wanted him back, but at a different position. However, that was not something Adams was interested in, and he was eventually signed to a one-year, veteran minimum contract in Tennessee. Moving to Nashville has become Adams’ newest NFL home, and he was eventually accompanied with his fellow Seahawks teammate, Quandre Diggs.

When healthy, and utilized properly, Adams can be a unique defensive weapon. However, “when healthy” seems to be an important qualifier these days. Unfortunately, the Pro Bowler cannot seem to keep his body in tact to withstand a full NFL season.

The NFL season is a marathon, not a sprint. Here’s hoping a missed week initially means Adams can be preserved down the road to have success in the Music City.

Titans injury report: safety Jamal Adams out, wide receiver DeAndre Hopkins works again

The Tennessee Titans practiced Thursday and star wide receiver again took part, trending toward being available against the Chicago Bears.

The Tennessee Titans hit the practice field Thursday to continue preparing for Week 1 when they take on the Chicago Bears at Soldier Field on Sunday. 

Star wide receiver DeAndre Hopkins again participated, although he was sporting a sleeve on his injured knee, which was not visible during Wednesday’s practice. When asked by A to Z Sports Nashville about his status, he replied. 

“We’ll see Sunday!”

Once again, safety Jamal Adams did not participate. He is recovering from a hip injury and was not present.

Titans injury report: DeAndre Hopkins returns, Jamal Adams does not practice

The Tennessee Titans released their first injury report of the season and see their star wide receiver return to the field.

The Tennessee Titans returned to the practice field to start wrapping up preparations for the season opener against the Chicago Bears, and it provided an opportunity to see where several of the team’s injured players are.

All eyes were on wide receiver DeAndre Hopkins, who has been battling a knee injury for most of the preseason, as he returned to the field in a limited capacity. This was a positive sign for Sunday because prior to practice, head coach Brian Callahan was optimistic but unsure if he would be available. 

“So, we should have guys, everyone should be at practice, and we’ll see how much they do, where they’re at. I feel pretty good about (it), but can’t make any guarantees, so see how it goes,”  Callahan said. 

Things appear to be trending in the right direction, and the Titans welcome that after struggling to see players stay healthy in camp.

Ex Seahawks safeties Quandre Diggs, Jamal Adams unveiled on Titans depth chart

Ex Seahawks safeties Quandre Diggs, Jamal Adams unveiled on Titans depth chart

The Seattle Seahawks saved more than $17 million against the 2024 salary cap by releasing veteran safeties Jamal Adams and Quandre Diggs earlier this offseason. General manager John Schneider officially ushered in a new era in the defensive backfield by moving on from those two mainstays. It turned out that Adams and Diggs will continue playing together this season, because both of them signed with the Tennessee Titans in free agency.

The Titans play the Chicago Bears in their Week 1 matchup on Sunday. Like every other team in the league, the Titans released an updated depth chart ahead of Sunday’s debut contest. Diggs is listed as a starting safety, whereas Adams must settle for a reserve rotational role.

Diggs is scheduled to start opposite Amani Hooker. Perhaps playing Adams in a backup, sub-package role will keep him healthier than he managed to stay in Seattle throughout his final seasons with the Seahawks. Adams chose the Titans in free agency partially due to his familiarity with their defensive coordinator Dennard Wilson, who coached him with the New York Jets prior to the blockbuster trade that sent him to Seattle.

New Seahawks head coach Mike Macdonald had a different vision for his defense, nor could Schneider realistically afford Adams’ and Diggs’ bloated cap charges this year. Seattle will move forward with Julian Love and Rayshawn Jenkins as their new starting safeties. Macdonald will debut his defense against the Denver Broncos in Sunday’s Week 1 game.

On paper, Titans’ offseason ‘spending spree’ pays off

The Tennessee Titans made a rash of moves during the offseason. Now it is time to see how this $228.2 Million spending spree pays off.

After the Tennessee Titans’ 2024 offseason began, general manager Ran Carthon set out with a vision to improve the team after a dismal 6-11 performance in 2023. Now, after a complete overhaul of the coaching staff and spending a reported $228.2 million to retool the roster, it’s time to see the results. 

https://twitter.com/tdavenport_nfl/status/1830586600247722071?s=46&t=SeOZebZdMRZIJ99t7aMgTQ

On paper, the Titans appear to be in a good place. Offensively, they built around second-year quarterback Will Levis, using both free agency and the draft to bolster the unit. 

After signing center Lloyd Cushenberry III to a four-year, $50 million contract, the team selected offensive tackle JC Latham with the No. 7 selection in the NFL draft. Infusing talent into a unit that struggled mightily in 2023. 

With Levis being the key to the offense, the Titans added to their skill positions with moves that added talented playmakers to the roster. Running back Tony Pollard, wide receivers Calvin Ridley and Tyler Boyd came aboard to assist Levis, hold-overs wide receiver DeAndre Hopkins and running back Tyjae Spears to potentially create one of the most dynamic Titans’ offenses in recent memory.  

Carthon didn’t stop there. Turning to the defensive side of the ball, they added an array of veterans to bolster the aggressive style that the Titans want to employ.  Free agent cornerback Chidobe Awuzie, safeties Jamal Adams and Quandre Diggs, and inside linebacker Kenneth Murray Jr. were brought in. He also hit the trade market, securing cornerback L’Jarius Sneed and, most recently, linebacker Ernest Jones IV in different transactions. 

With pre-season in the books, there is good reason to be optimistic about the Titans’ potential. In less than a week, fans will see how well this spending spree translates into the regular season when the Titans open up against the Chicago Bears on Sunday, Sept. 7.
