Jets S Adams volunteers to play CB amid injuries

FLORHAM PARK, N.J. -- The New York Jets' cornerback situation is so dire that Pro Bowl safety Jamal Adams is volunteering for emergency duty.

"If they need me to go to corner, I'll go to corner," he said Monday. "I'm dead serious."

That is unlikely to happen, but Adams' reaction underscores the sense of desperation. Top corner Trumaine Johnson, who underwent an MRI exam after injuring a hamstring in Sunday's practice, is listed as week-to-week. His status for the regular-season opener against the Buffalo Bill is in jeopardy.

"That's just going to be time," coach Adam Gase said.
