Adams (knee) was activated off injured reserve Saturday and does not have an injury designation for Sunday's game against Philadelphia, Steelers Senior Director of Communications Burt Lauten reports.
EDGE Analysis
Per Lauten, Adams is expected to play Sunday. The veteran defensive tackle missed each of the Steelers' past six contests while dealing with a knee issue. Adams will likely take on a rotational role upon his return.

Adams (knee) was designated to return from injured reserve Wednesday, Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston reports.
EDGE Analysis
Adams sustained a knee injury in the Steelers' Week 7 win over the Jets, and the issue has sidelined him for the team's last four games. However, he returned to practice in full Wednesday, indicating that he could play as soon as Sunday's divisional matchup against the Bengals. The 29-year-old must still be activated to Pittsburgh's active roster in order to suit up in Week 13.

The Steelers placed Adams (knee) on injured reserve Tuesday, Teresa Varley of the team's official site reports.
EDGE Analysis
Adams suffered a knee injury during the Steelers' Week 7 win over the Jets on Sunday. He was already ruled out for Week 8 against the Giants, but the injury is severe enough to warrant a multi-week absence for the 2017 third-round pick. Adams will be forced to miss at least the next four regular-season games, and the earliest he can return is Week 13 against the Bengals on Dec. 1. Through the first seven games of the regular season, Adams tallied eight tackles (five solo), including 1.0 sacks.
