The New York Giants have opened the 21-day practice window for linebacker/special teamer Matthew Adams to return from injured reserve. Adams was placed on IR with a designation to return on cut down day.
Adams, 28, is in his seventh NFL season. He has primarily been a special teamer, with 1,742 career special teams snaps and 605 career defensive snaps.
Linebacker Dyontae Johnson, who is on IR with an ankle injury and also has a designation to return, has not begun practicing.
It remains to be seen how quickly the Giants activate Adams from IR.
