Adderley has been taking on more responsibility in the absence of Derwin James (contract dispute) during training camp, Jeff Miller of the Los Angeles Times reports.

EDGE Analysis

Adderley has been quarterbacking the defense, while also demonstrating a greater grasp of the scheme heading into his fourth season. "You're able to look at the quarterback's tendencies," he said. "You're able to look at where the receivers align and the down-and-distances and all of that. When you're not thinking about what you have to do, you're able to look at a lot more." The results have been noticeable in camp so far, including interceptions on back-to-back days in practice.

Adderley finished the 2021 season with 99 tackles (69 solo), five passes defended, one forced fumble and a half of a sack.

EDGE Analysis

Adderley was forced into the starting free safety role last season after another season-ending injury to Derwin James, but it was clear early in the 2021 campaign the extra playing time gave the third-year safety a new sort of confidence in his role this time alongside the aforementioned Pro Bowl safety. There was still plenty of coverage errors attributed to Adderley, and the third-year safety will never be known as a hard hitter, but the 2019 second-round pick certainly doesn't appear to be a negative player at this juncture of his career. Expect more growth and another season playing alongside James to possibly boost his value in IDP formats.

Adderley was activated off the reserve/COVID-19 list Saturday and will be eligible to play Sunday against the Broncos.

EDGE Analysis

The new rules outlined by the NFL and the NFL Players Association couldn't have come at a better time for the unvaccinated Adderley, who is now eligible to play after five days in isolation. The second-year safety is in the midst of a breakout season with career highs already in tackles and pass breakups.

Adderley (illness), who was placed on the reserve/COVID-19 Monday, will be eligible to play Sunday against the Broncos if he's asymptomatic or showing improvement in his recovery from the virus at the conclusion of a five-day quarantine, Tom Pelissero of NFL Network reports.

EDGE Analysis

As an unvaccinated player who tested positive for the virus, Adderley was expected to face a 10-day quarantine, but that timeline was cut in half Tuesday, when the NFL and NFL Players Association reached an agreement to set isolation time at five days for all players who test positive for COVID-19, regardless of vaccination status. Though Adderley looks like he'll still remain away from the Chargers through at least Friday, he should be ready to go Sunday so long as his symptoms have resolved while he's in isolation. The third-year safety has recorded 81 tackles, five pass breakups, a fumble recovery and a half sack through 13 games this season.

Adderley (illness) was placed on the reserve/COVID-19 list Monday and won't play Sunday against the Broncos, Daniel Popper of The Athletic reports.

EDGE Analysis

The implication of being ruled out straightaway is that Adderley is unvaccinated and tested positive for the virus, which triggers a 10-day quarantine. The Chargers now have six members of the secondary on the COVID list, potentially leaving the unit shorthanded for Week 17.

Adderley tallied seven tackles (two solo) along with half of a sack in Sunday's 41-22 win over Cincinnati.

EDGE Analysis

With another solid game, Adderley has now recorded seven-plus tackles in five of his last six games. The young safety was able to record his first partial sack of the year and the first of his career.

Adderley (ankle) was a full participant at practice Thursday.

EDGE Analysis

The safety was able to log a full practice Thursday after opening the week with a limited practice Wednesday, setting him up to be active against the Steelers in Week 11. Adderley missed Week 10 versus the Vikings but will return to his role as starting free safety Sunday.

Adderley (ankle) will not play Sunday against the Vikings.

EDGE Analysis

Adderley was able to get in a limited practice Friday, but ultimately he will be unable to go Sunday. With the Chargers secondary dealing with multiple injuries, this is a big blow to the defense. Alohi Gilman and Trey Marshall will now see increased opportunity.

Adderley (ankle) is listed as questionable ahead of Sunday's game against the Vikings.

EDGE Analysis

Adderley practiced in limited fashion Friday after being a non-participant for two straight days prior. Jeff Miller of the Los Angeles Times reports that his possible availability is currently "50/50," which means he will be a game-time decision.

Adderley produced seven tackles (five solo), one pass deflection and one fumble recovery during Sunday's 27-24 loss to the Patriots.

EDGE Analysis

After a three-tackle performance during the season opener, Adderley has recorded 39 tackles over his last five contests. The 24-year-old will likely remain a solid IDP option in deeper leagues due to his tackling production, but his potential is limited, as his fumble recovery in Week 8 is his only turnover of the season.
