Tennessee Titans safety Jamal Adams will miss Sunday’s opener against the host Chicago Bears with a hip injury, the team confirmed Friday.
The three-time Pro Bowler signed a one-year, $1.3 million contract with the Titans in July after an injury-plagued four-year run with the Seattle Seahawks.
Adams, 28, missed practice for the third straight day Friday. Undrafted rookie Julius Wood could move up the depth chart at strong safety on Sunday.
Drafted sixth overall by the New York Jets in 2017, Adams made three straight Pro Bowls (2018-20) and was a first-team All-Pro selection in 2019 before getting derailed by injuries.
Adams sustained a torn quadriceps in Seattle’s 2022 opener and did not return that season. He missed eight more games last season.
In 80 career games (all starts) with the Jets (2017-19) and Seahawks, Adams recorded 494 tackles, 21.5 sacks and four interceptions.
Wide receiver DeAndre Hopkins (knee) has been a limited participant in practice this week and is questionable for Sunday. Linebacker Otis Reese (concussion) has been ruled out.
