NFL schedulers sent the Steelers to Las Vegas to face the Raiders in Week 6 and have them back home to host the Jets in Week 7. That's why they've been keeping an eye on wide receiver Davante Adams for some time.

Adams was with the Raiders before last Sunday's game but did not play due to a trade request and a hamstring injury. That trade request was granted when Adams was sent to the Jets on Tuesday, so head coach Mike Tomlin and the rest of the staff will now have to reckon with the possibility that they will be facing him this week.

On Tuesday, Tomlin indicated that wouldn't play a big role in this weekend's planning.

“That was me get ready for Davante last week. I’m getting ready for Davante this week, but that’s life in the National Football League,” Tomlin said via the team’s website. “I can imagine that his acquisition will make some news, not only today but also in relation to this game, and I respect his talents, but I cannot imagine that his acquisition will change our approach to this issue Play a lot. To be completely honest, we're playing against an Aaron Rodgers-led group on offense, and that means certain things. When you have a quarterback that has the resume that he has and has the success that he has had, it’s a challenge.”

Jets interim coach Jeff Ulbrich said Tuesday is too early It remains to be seen whether Adams will be able to step right into the Jets' lineup, and it's hard to imagine him fully commanding the offense if he plays, but Tomlin and the Steelers are ready when he gets the green light receives .
