Adebo's Rough Ride with the Giants | NFL News

Signed to a 3-year 54-million dollar deal last offseason to be a top tier defender, he's now finding himself on the outside looking in. After an injury in the first game of the season against Dallas, he's been placed on injured reserve, a move that frees up a spot for another player. This situation is a far cry from what was expected when Adibo joined the team. He was brought in to lock down opposing receivers, but a knee injury last season saw him miss four games. His performance wasn't what it used to be either, with his coverage rating being his lowest since 2022. The change in coaching staff seems to have played a role too. Adibo didn't show up for the start of the voluntary offseason program, and he also lost his starting position during spring practices.
