Jamal Adams – Noteworthy
SS Jamal Adams got an unnecessary roughness penalty with 2:10 left in the fourth quarter on Sunday after he drove Dede Westbrook to the ground after the whistle had blown. Westbrook, a second-year receiver out of Oklahoma who had his first career 100-yard game (130), wasn’t pleased.
“He’s my dude. I met him at Sterling Shephard’s wedding and also before the draft we came here together, and for him to do that it kind of upset me, because at the end of the day, the whistle blew,” Westbrook said. “That’s not cool. I’ve got a family to feed, just as well as you do. And anything that’s done after the whistle, it’s unnecessary. Of course I wasn’t happy with that.”
Adams responded Sunday night on Twitter, saying, “Dawg, I told (you) after the game I didn’t hear the whistle. You still trynna run the rock so whatcha expect me to do… let go? Nahhhh, I play this game full speed at all times. Remember too pimp I got a family to feed as well. Plus more! LUV”
Josh Martin – Noteworthy – Injury – Transaction
LB Josh Martin was placed on injured reserve after suffering his second concussion in a little more than a month.
Having just been cleared to practice last week after a concussion in the third preseason game against the Giants, the 26-year-old out of Columbia played 19 snaps on defense and 11 on special teams on Sunday and made one tackle.
“It is definitely alarming,” head coach Todd Bowles said Monday about the injury. “He was out about a month the first time it happened, then he came right back and another one happened. So it’s got to be alarming. We are looking at it and we’re monitoring to see where it goes from here, but it’s definitely a concern.”
Martin said last week he won’t do anything to jeopardize his quality of life after football, so it’s possible he pulls the plug on his career.
Brandon Copeland, another Ivy Leaguer from Penn, has been getting the most time at Martin’s outside linebacker spot opposite Jordan Jenkins. Copeland has nine tackles and a sack on the season.
Defensive end Bronson Kaufasi was brought up from the practice squad to take Martin’s roster spot.

Rashard Robinson – Important – Transaction
CB Rashard Robinson was reinstated (Jets) from reserve/suspended by the NFL Monday (Oct. 1). He received a roster exemption that expires Oct. 8.
Terrelle Pryor – Noteworthy – Injury
WR Terrelle Pryor played only two snaps in Sunday’s 31-12 loss to the Jaguars (and was targeted once by Sam Darnold).
So was he hurt? The 29-year-old was limited at Thursday’s practice after tweaking his groin, but was a full practice participant on Friday. He was “still a little sore and we kind of went with the guys we had that were going in,” head coach Todd Bowles said after the game.
“We couldn’t find any offensive continuity really, so we weren’t on the field long enough to be substituting,” Bowles added.
Pryor, who has eight catches for 158 yards on the season, played 24 snaps Week 1 in Detroit and 44 in each of the two games prior to Sunday.
