Browns' Matthew Adams: Dealing with calf injury
Head coach Kevin Stefanski said Thursday that Adams (calf) will miss a couple of weeks, Scott Petrak of the Elyria Chronicle-Telegram reports.
Adams has mostly contributed on special teams in his five-year NFL career but was able to record 187 snaps on defense and 26 tackles last year with the Bears, both of which were the most since 2018. The timing of Adams' injury could make it difficult for him to get healthy in time for the Aug. 3 preseason matchup against the Jets, but it could be more doable for him to be back for the Browns' Aug. 11 encounter with the Commanders. Once healthy, he's set to compete for a depth/special teams role.

Browns' Matt Adams: Heads to Cleveland
The Browns signed Adams on Tuesday.
Adams posted 26 tackles across 10 games for the Bears in 2022, but the majority of his production came over the final seven weeks of the season.

Bears' Matt Adams: Set for free agency
Adams notched two tackles in the Bears' 29-13 loss to the Vikings in Week 18, and ended the season with 26 tackles and a forced fumble over 10 games played.
Adams missed seven games with a calf injury, and in the nine games he played, he had two or fewer tackles in six of them. However, on a per-game basis, this was the most productive year of his five-year career. After playing about 20 snaps per game, he'll likely compete for a depth role next year as an unrestricted free agent.

Bears' Matt Adams: Goes on injured reserve
Adams (calf) was placed on IR on Tuesday.

Bears' Matt Adams: Back in full Thursday
Adams (hamstring) was listed as a full participant on the Bears' injury report Thursday.
Adams has been sidelined for Chicago's last two games while dealing with a hamstring injury, which kept him limited during practice Wednesday as well. The 26-year-old recorded six tackles while playing just under half of his 73 total snaps on defense over the first two weeks, and he should see a consistent role in both phases moving forward.
