Jets Davante Adams set to play after overcoming grueling stomach bug

Credit the power of chicken soup.Davante Adams practiced as a full participant Friday after he missed two days earlier this week with a stomach bug, cured with help from a big bowl of chef-made soup that the receiver was seen sipping in the locker room.He is listed as questionable but left no doubt he expects to play Sunday against the Colts.“We’re back rolling,” Adams told The Post.
