Seattle Seahawks safety Jamal Adams has yet to return to the practice field as he continues to battle a lingering groin injury. Adams has missed the last three contests and could sit out this week as well.

Coach Pete Carroll was not able to confirm his availability for the near future.

“I don’t know that yet,” Carroll said Monday. “I talked to him on Saturday before we left, and his workouts are going great and all that. He really wants to get back, but he’s going to have to show it that he’s capable of doing all the stuff that we need to do football-wise. Because he’s so close to being back, I think this will carry into the late in the week and we’ll see if it works out.

“But I can’t tell you, conclusively right now.”

Adams does have a few more days before the Seahawks host the 49ers on Sunday, but he’ll need to sneak in at least a few days of practice before he’s ready for a game-day appearance.
