Interim coach Jeff Ulbrich says Davante Adams has "looked fantastic" as the wide receiver looks set to make his New York Jets bow on Sunday.

Adams was traded to the Jets from the Las Vegas Raiders on Tuesday, reuniting him with former Green Bay Packers team-mate Aaron Rodgers.

With speculation surrounding his future, the 31-year-old missed his final three games with the Raiders due to a hamstring injury.

However, he is expected to be back to full fitness and ready to make his Jets debut when they travel to the Pittsburgh Steelers.

"We didn't know what to expect with him coming here," Ulbrich said of Adams on Friday.

"Obviously, he'd been listed on the injury report with his hamstring, so we had to make an assessment once he got here, and he's looked fantastic."

The Jets are aiming to end a run of three straight defeats, but will be boosted by the reunion of Adams and Rodgers.

During their eight seasons together with the Packers between 2014 and 2021, Adams caught 615 passes from Rodgers for 7,529 yards and 68 touchdowns. 

Among active players, no quarterback-receiver combo has more receptions or touchdowns.
