Davante Adams and Kevin Durant discuss wideout's preparation ahead of Jets debut
Despite just being traded to the Jets on Monday, Davante Adams is preparing for his debut with New York as the Jets face the Pittsburgh Steelers on Sunday night.
Adams spoke about his preparation for Sunday's game after missing the last three for the Las Vegas Raiders due to a hamstring injury.
"I'm back," Adams said regarding his injury. "I could've played this past week, but obviously, some of that was out of my control. I like to think I could've played this past week. My body felt good, I went out there and ran around a little bit today."
Davante Adams was sent to New York in exchange for a conditional 2025 third-round pick that can become a second-round pick if Adams makes a first or second-team All-Pro appearance this season, or if he is on the active roster if the Jets appear in the AFC Championship or the Super Bowl.
In three games this season, Adams has recorded 18 catches for 209 yards and a touchdown. In 37 games with the Raiders, Davante Adams notched 221 receptions for 2,869 yards and 23 touchdowns, earning a first-team All-Pro nod in his first season in Las Vegas in 2022.
