Jets' Jeff Ulbrich expects Davante Adams to play vs. Steelers - ESPN

FLORHAM PARK, N.J. — Davante Adams will likely make his debut for the New York Jets on Sunday night at Pittsburgh.

The star wide receiver was acquired from Las Vegas on Tuesday, and interim Jets coach Jeff Ulbrich said Wednesday that Adams would participate in the team's walk-through and should play against the Pittsburgh Steelers.

«I think so,» Ulbrich said. «Yep.»

He said it will be a «challenge» for playcaller Todd Downing and the offensive staff to get Adams «up to speed as fast as possible.»

«Fortunately, there's a lot of familiarity with the offense. It's been a system he's been a part of for years, so I don't foresee it being a huge obstacle getting him going and involved,» he said.

Adams missed the Raiders' past three games with a hamstring injury that coincided with his request to be traded. While making a surprise appearance during quarterback Aaron Rodgers' weekly spot on «The Pat McAfee Show» on Tuesday, Adams said he was expecting to play.

«I'm feeling great, man,» Adams said. «Fortunately, I'll be able to roll.»

That means he and Rodgers will immediately renew their on-field connection, which was one of the greatest quarterback-wide receivers in recent NFL history. Adams caught 615 passes from Rodgers for 7,517 yards and 68 touchdowns during eight seasons together in Green Bay. That's the most in all three categories between any combination of active players.

«Their connection and their chemistry between the two of those guys is just so unique. They spent so much time together for one, but for two, they're both high football IQ guys that really can take their connection to another space,» Ulbrich said.

Ulbrich said he came away impressed after meeting Adams on Tuesday.

«I've never met him prior to him
