Overview

  • Adebo was downgraded to out just before kickoff after feeling knee discomfort during pregame warmups, per the team and NFL Network's Mike Garafolo.
  • He had been limited in practice all week with a knee issue and was listed as questionable, and he initially was not on the inactives list.
  • Deonte Banks is expected to start in Adebo’s place, with Cor'Dale Flott, Korie Black, and Jarrick Bernard-Converse among the available options at cornerback.
  • New York’s defense has struggled without its No. 1 corner, allowing roughly 32 points per game since he went down, according to local reporting.
  • The 26-year-old is in the first season of a three-year, $54 million contract after last year’s fractured femur, and he has 48 tackles and four passes defended in seven starts this season.
