New York Jets wide receiver Davante Adams, after missing two days of practice because of illness and a wrist issue, is expected to play Sunday against the Indianapolis Colts, interim coach Jeff Ulbrich said Friday.
Ulbrich also said that starting left tackle Tyron Smith and linebacker C.J. Mosley, both dealing with neck injuries, will not play for the Jets (3-7) against the visiting Colts (4-6). Offensive lineman Jake Hanson (hamstring) also missed practice all week and was ruled out, while defensive lineman Solomon Thomas (knee) was listed as questionable on Friday's injury report.
Adams, 31, has 20 receptions on 39 targets for 206 yards and one touchdown in four games (all starts) since the Jets acquired him from the Las Vegas Raiders for a conditional 2025 third-round pick. He did not participate in practices on Wednesday and Thursday but was a full participant on Friday and listed as questionable.
"He had a little bit of an illness the first couple days here and came back," Ulbrich said Friday. "He was confident throughout this entire process that he was gonna be ready to play in this game."
He had 18 catches for 209 yards and one TD in three games (all starts) for the Raiders this season. For his career, Adams has 910 receptions for 11,196 yards and 97 TDs in 157 games (150 starts) for the Green Bay Packers (2014-21), Raiders (2022-24) and Jets.
Smith, 33, is in his first season with the Jets after playing from 2011-23 for the Dallas Cowboys, who selected him ninth overall in the 2011 draft. An eight-time Pro Bowl selection and two-time first-team All-Pro, Smith signed with New York as a free agent in March.
He has started all 10 games and played in 95 percent (592) of the offensive snaps.
Mosley, 32, has not played since the Jets' 37-15 loss to the Pittsburgh Steelers on Oct. 20. He has 17 tackles in four games (three starts).
A five-time Pro Bowl selection, Mosley has 1,083 career tackles with 12 sacks, 55 tackles for loss, 12 interceptions -- two returned for touchdowns -- and 10 forced fumbles in 133 games (132 starts) for the Baltimore Ravens (2014-18) and Jets.
