This season just keeps getting worse. The latest misfortune to befall these 2021 Seahawks is the season-ending injury for safety Jamal Adams, the second time he’s hurt the same shoulder in as many years.
Coach Pete Carroll told reporters today that Adams has undergone surgery and steps have been taken to prevent this from happening again.
Pete Carroll said Jamal Adams had his surgery and that steps were taken to make sure everything is secure in a shoulder that has now been operated on twice in less than a year.

Adams played 12 games for Seattle this year. His play at times drew crticism on social media, especially early in the season. However, Adams turned his game around – not coincidentally swinging up as part of a larger resurgence by the defense – after Russell Wilson’s finger injury in Week 5. He had been performing at a high level from week to week, especially in coverage where he’s so often been criticized.
It’s fair to question whether the Seahawks used Adams to the best of his abilities this year, but unfair to question his commitment. Adams posted a photo on his Instagram page earlier today and he’s obviously heartbroken by this latest development.

Adams is expected to make a full recovery and return next season. He has four years remaining on the contract extension he signed a few months ago.
