Davante Adams' New York debut will come in prime time.
Adams is off the injury report and set to play for the New York Jets on Sunday Night Football against the Pittsburgh Steelers.
Jets interim coach Jeff Ulbrich said Friday that he expects a full workload for Adams.
"He's looked fantastic," Ulbrich said. "He's 31 or 32, whatever his age is, but you would never know. He looks just as explosive and fast. I'm so excited to get him integrated into this offense."
A hamstring injury forced Adams to miss his previous three games, which were all as a member of the Las Vegas Raiders before he was traded on Tuesday to rejoin quarterback Aaron Rodgers with the Jets. Rodgers, who's been dealing with an ankle injury, is likewise good to go for Week 7.
Adams returning to action is hardly a surprise as he said this week he'd be ready to go and has practiced fully. Prior to this week, Adams hadn't practiced since the middle of Week 4.
As the adage goes, in a New York minute, everything can change, and now a presumably healthy Adams will join a Jets team looking to snap a three-game losing streak.
In eight seasons with the Packers from 2014-2021, Adams went to five Pro Bowls and racked up three 1,000-yard seasons with Rodgers as his quarterback.
Through three games this year with the Raiders, Adams has caught 18 receptions for 209 yards and a touchdown.
He'll look to rekindle past brilliance between him and Rodgers on Sunday night while simultaneously aiming to assist in the improvement of New York's 22nd-ranked offense.
Adams is good to go, ready to make his return to the field and his Jets debut against the Steelers.
