Adderley (hamstring) recorded two tackles, one interception and three pass defenses in the 27-24 preseason win Thursday over the 49ers.
EDGE Analysis
It's clear now the Chargers were simply playing it safe with their 2019 second-round pick as Adderley played 71 percent of the team's defensive snaps despite missing the entire preseason prior to Thursday with a hamstring injury. As a result, the 22-year-old is poised to make his regular-season debut Week 1, and likely will be plenty busy alongside safeties Adrian Phillips, Jaylen Watkins and Rayshawn Jenkins as the trio look to fill in for 2018 All-Pro Derwin James (foot).

Head coach Anthony Lynn said Adderley (hamstring) won't play in Saturday's preseason contest against Seattle, but he wants the rookie to play against San Francisco on Aug. 29, Eric D. Williams of ESPN.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Adderley has yet to play in the preseason, which has forced him to yield reps to Rayshawn Jenkins, who is also gunning for the starting strong safety gig. Jenkins will likely see much of the work in Saturday's contest as well with Adderley still sidelined.

Adderly (hamstring) participated in non-padded team drills Thursday, Jeff Miller of the Los Angeles Times reports.
EDGE Analysis
Adderly has been dealing with the hamstring issue all summer, so even his limited participation at Thursday's practice is a welcome sight. The rookie second-round pick is progressing toward his return but still may not play in Saturday's preseason contest against the Seahawks.

Adderly (hamstring) will not play in Thursday's preseason opener against the Cardinals, Eric D. Williams of ESPN.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Adderly hasn't been able to participate much in training camp to date so this designation doesn't come as much of a surprise. Rayshawn Jenkins and Jaylen Watkins are expected to play heavily Thursday considering the duo is currently locked in a near deadlock for the starting position.

Adderley (hamstring) is healthy to begin training camp, Eric D. Williams of ESPN.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Adderley sat out all of mandatory minicamp due to a hamstring injury, but appears to have succeeded in getting fully healthy for the start of training camp. The 2019 second-round pick will likely compete with Rayshawn Jenkins for a starting role in the Chargers' secondary.

Adderley (hamstring) is expected to be healthy for the start of training camp, Eric D. Williams of ESPN.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
The 2019 second-round pick missed all of mandatory minicamp due to a hamstring issue, joining 2019 first-round pick Jerry Tillery as two members of the Chargers' draft class yet to take the field. Even still, Adderley is expected to compete with Rayshawn Jenkins for the vacated starting free safety spot left by the release of Jahleel Addae. What that role means alongside emerging second-year safety Derwin James and the similarly skilled Adrian Phillips remains to be seen, but that entirely depends on the health of the aforementioned second-round pick.

Adderley (undisclosed) was only able to work on the side during Tuesday's minicamp session, Eric D. Williams of ESPN.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Adderley originally said he was healthy heading into offseason workouts April 29, but hasn't been able to practice the last two weeks due to an undisclosed injury. The 22-year-old dealt with a hamstring injury prior to the draft, but he was fully cleared shortly after being selected in the second round. Coach Anthony Lynn said Tuesday that Adderley's absence is more of precaution, so the injury doesn't seem overly serious, but the rookie's status is still worth monitoring.

Adderley didn't practice Monday due to an undisclosed injury, Eric D. Williams of ESPN.com reports.

Adderley (hamstring) said Monday that he's fully healthy and will be ready for rookie minicamp, after he pulled his hamstring at his pro day, Eric D. Williams of ESPN.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
The Delaware product fell further than many expected, selected 60th overall, and the hamstring injury could be to blame. As evidenced by this news, Adderley will be a full-go as he prepares for his first full season in the NFL. Lauded for his ball skills, Adderley will certainly challenge Rayshawn Jenkins for snaps at free safety opposite Derwin James in 2019.
