Although Jamal Adams is still under 30, his recent seasons have been plagued by injuries. His last Pro Bowl appearance was in 2020, marking the end of a three-year Pro Bowl streak. Since then, Adams has struggled to stay on the field, not playing more than 12 games in any season.
The LSU alum contributed to Tennessee’s top-ranked secondary, which had allowed just 685 passing yards entering Week 7. However, he faced stiff competition for playing time behind starters Amani Hooker and three-time Pro Bowler Quandre Diggs, along with backups Julius Wood and Mike Brown.
Adams appeared in only three of the Titans’ first five games, playing just 20 snaps and recording four tackles. He had not taken the field since the team’s Week 4 victory over the Miami Dolphins on Sept. 30.
On Saturday, Tennessee placed Adams on the reserve/non-football injury list due to a lingering hip issue, forcing him to miss at least four more games. He had already missed the Titans’ Week 1 loss to the Chicago Bears because of the same injury.
Adams, the 2017 sixth overall pick, signed a one-year deal with Tennessee in July, joining a revamped secondary that included offseason additions like cornerbacks Chidobe Awuzie from the Dallas Cowboys and Cincinnati Bengals, and former Kansas City Chiefs standout L’Jarius Sneed.
