The Seattle Seahawks are hopeful their star safety Jamal Adams will return to the field to face the San Francisco 49ers on Sunday for the team’s Week-8 matchup.
Adams has missed the last three games due to a groin injury but got in some very limited practice on Friday.
“He worked today,” coach Pete Carroll said Friday after the walkthrough. “He got some work today so that’s a good sign. It’s a real good sign. We’ll just have to figure it out, see if he’s OK. You’re going see some guys we’re going right to game time on a number of guys.”
Even though Adams appears to be on the mend from the groin injury, he was temporarily sidelined this week due to an illness. Because of the COVID-19 pandemic, Adams could not return to the facility until Thursday afternoon. He has continued to test negative for the coronavirus.
Adams’ lack of work this week could be a factor in whether or not he is ready to go this Sunday.
“Yeah, it’s a big concern, it’s a big concern,” Carroll said. “That’s a lot to ask. He’s worked out great in his conditioning work and all that. The fact that he had to miss a couple days here really kind of threw a wrench in the works for a smooth comeback. So we’ll have to see what happens at game time.”
Three of Seattle’s running backs – Chris Carson, Carlos Hyde, and Travis Homer – will also be game-day decisions against the 49ers.
