Adderley was placed on the reserve/COVID-19 list Friday, Gilbert Manzano of The Orange County Register reports.

EDGE Analysis

Adderley started Saturday's preseason win over the Rams and recorded one solo tackle, but he'll be forced to spent time away from the team. It's not yet clear whether he's tested positive for the virus, but he'll presumably be sidelined for Sunday's exhibition game against San Francisco. In addition to his primary role at safety, the 2019 second-rounder expects to play some cornerback during the regular season.

Adderley said he expects to play some cornerback during upcoming season, Gilbert Manzano of The Orange County Register reports.

EDGE Analysis

Adderley noted that he is expecting to play some cornerback under new head coach Brandon Staley's defense during the 2021 season. The third-year safety has recorded 71 tackles (60 solo), three passes defensed and an interception across 19 career games -- but is slated to take on a bigger role in 2021 with the departure of Rayshawn Jenkins.

Adderley tallied five tackles in the Chargers' Week 17 win over the Chiefs. He finished the 2020 season with 69 tackles, one interception, three passes defended and 318 kick-return yards.

EDGE Analysis

The loss of Derwin James (knee) in August opened the door for the 2019 second-round pick to make a case for a starting safety job. For the most part, Adderley outplayed expectations. While the likes of Rayshawn Jenkins and Jahleel Addae operated closer to the line of scrimmage, the 23-year-old took advantage as the coverage safety in his first extended action as a pro. Too often Adderley wound up burned in single-coverage situations, but the return of James should give the Chargers, and Adderley, some flexibility when it comes to the positioning of their safeties. Both Jenkins and Addae will be unrestricted free agents entering the 2020 offseason, leaving Adderley in prime position to build off the positive momentum as a starter in 2021.

Adderley (shoulder) was a full participant during the Chargers' practice session Wednesday.

EDGE Analysis

Adderley suffered a shoulder injury and was subsequently pulled from the Chargers' Week 14 win over Atlanta. The issue held the 2019 second-round draft choice out of the lineup last Thursday night against Las Vegas, but it appears he's on a positive trajectory towards suiting up Week 16. On defense, he faces a Broncos quarterback in Drew Lock who ranks second in the NFL in interceptions thrown (13), while on special teams, the Delaware product finds himself coming off a Week 14 performance that consisted of a 76-yard kick return.

Adderley (shoulder) is officially inactive for Thursday's divisional matchup with Las Vegas.

EDGE Analysis

Adderley failed to practice Wednesday due to the back injury and came into the game deemed doubtful, so this news isn't quite surprising. Adderley suffered the shoulder injury in last week's win over the Falcons, but he'll get a few extra days of rest to prepare for Week 16 against Denver. With the second-year pro sidelined, look for Jahleel Addae to draw the start at free safety for Week 15.

Adderley (shoulder) is doubtful to play in Thursday's game against the Raiders.

EDGE Analysis

Adderley was downgraded to a non-participant at Wednesday's practice after a limited showing Tuesday, so he's not expected to partake in Thursday's game. The second-year pro suffered the injury in last week's win over the Falcons, as he'll get a few extra days of rest to be ready for Week 16 against the Broncos. Look for Jahleel Addae to draw the start at free safety in the likely even that Adderley is officially ruled out for Thursday's game.

Coach Anthony Lynn said that Adderley (undisclosed) was pulled from Sunday's 20-17 win over the Falcons because he was 'banged up,' Daniel Popper of The Athletic reports.

EDGE Analysis

Adderley was taken out of Sunday's win in the second half due to injury rather than performance concerns. As such, the starting safety's participation in practice will be worth close monitoring ahead of Thursday's game in Las Vegas.

Adderley registered a team-high eight tackles (all solo) in Sunday's 29-21 loss to the Dolphins.

EDGE Analysis

Adderley has quietly put together an excellent debut after seeing his rookie season essentially wiped out due to injury. The Chargers tend to deploy their safeties in a number of different ways, making it hard to count on any sort of guaranteed tackle totals, but it's worth nothing Adderley has registered 20 tackles over the last three weeks and should have had his second career interception on a tipped pass if not for an overzealous Willie Mays-style backward attempt by a teammate. Against a run-oriented Jets offense, expect to see plenty of Adderley again in Week 11.

Adderley recorded seven tackles (five solo) in Sunday's 31-30 loss to the Broncos, Brady Henderson of ESPN.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Adderley produced his highest tackle count since Week 3 to finish with a team high in stops Sunday. The second-year safety out of Delaware has developed into an every-snap player this season, but his IDP upside remains low based on his average of 4.3 tackles per game.

Adderley registered nine tackles (seven solo) in Sunday's loss to the Panthers.

EDGE Analysis

Adderley briefly left the game after suffering what looked like a lower-body injury in the first half, but returned to begin the third quarter. The 2019 second-round pick has put together a promising start to his career after missing most of his rookie campaign due to a lingering hamstring injury. It's unlikely Adderley will pile together such a large tackle figure most weeks, but the Chargers' defense tends to put safeties in a solid spot to be respectable IDP options in a pinch.
