Yes. As your husband is here lawfully, with the permission of the United States, he was, at some point, "inspected." While an individually normally will not be able to adjust status if they entered the U.S. illegally, the fact that he applied for and received TPS status after he entered the U.S. supersedes that original legal status. Therefore, he can adjust status as an immediate relative, assuming you are a U.S. citizen.
