When Jamal Adams performed for the New York Jets, the versatile security solely missed two video games out of a potential 48 over the span of three seasons. Since his blockbuster commerce to the Seattle Seahawks, Adams has appeared in precisely half of a potential 50 common season video games.
All of Adams’ seasons in Seattle have ended with some type of critical damage, together with enjoying by way of a torn labrum in 2020 earlier than tearing it once more in 2021, after which after all the torn quad tendon on opening evening towards the Denver Broncos final 12 months. The severity of this damage is sufficient to put Adams’ readiness for the beginning of the 2023 season unsure.
With coaching camp simply over a month away, head coach Pete Carroll’s replace on Adams is that of the good unknown.
“We’ll see,” Carroll stated at Thursday’s minicamp press convention. “Let’s get to camp first and see what occurs. It could be an excessive amount of to ask. I don’t know. We’ll see.”
Adams and Jordyn Brooks had been current at minicamp however clearly unable to take part in on-field drills because of their respective accidents. It’s very potential that Brooks begins this 12 months on the PUP listing given his ACL tear was in Week 17 of 2022, however nothing is concrete on his timeline both.
“There are benchmarks. There are energy issues that he has to get again to full. I feel vary of movement is fairly good, however I feel we’re speaking about energy proper now,” Carroll stated when requested about Adams’ coaching and restoration course of. “It’s simply time. It’s simply time on activity and so it’s actually clear. He’s received actually good guys he’s working with again residence, so being right here was actually necessary in order that we noticed him.”
It’s clearly irritating that the Adams commerce has not labored out as hoped, and these accidents could very effectively shorten his prime, however hopefully his restoration from the quad tear can proceed to stay on schedule and that we’ll see him return to motion sooner slightly than later.
