Chiefs CB Jaylen Watson reveals that he played with a torn labrum in 2023

Kansas City #Chiefs cornerback Jaylen Watson revealed that he played last season with a torn labrum in a post on Twitter.

The toll of a hard-fought run to a Super Bowl title has many players on the Kansas City Chiefs using the offseason to recuperate from nagging injuries. Players are prideful in not missing time and letting the team down, so it’s not unusual for them to reveal the pain they dealt with during a long year.

Chiefs cornerback Jaylen Watson can now be added to the list of players who will be using the offseason to recover following his announcement of successful surgery to repair his torn labrum.

Watson posted the update on his X account, letting the world know he’d been dealing with the injury since Week 2 and opted not to end his season early with surgery.

Watson gritted his way through 16 games in the regular season, finishing with 33 tackles and two sacks. He also contributed to the Chiefs’ four post-season games with two tackles in Super Bowl LVIII.

He joins veteran offensive lineman Nick Allegretti, who admitted to playing through a severe injury to help secure Kansas City’s second consecutive Lombardi trophy.

The former Washington State standout is a member of the Chiefs 2022 draft class, which helped revamp the defensive unit. The young secondary earned praise and respect around the league for its versatility over the past two championship seasons.

Is Seahawks safety Jamal Adams’ durability a real concern?

Seahawks safety Jamal Adams’ durability could be a real concern for Seattle as he heads into his third injury-riddled season in Seattle.

The Seattle Seahawks opened training camp this week with a number of returning veterans who are finally healthy, but strong safety Jamal Adams is not one of them.

Adams suffered a season-ending shoulder injury last year which required surgery to repair. It was his second labrum procedure in as many years. He also underwent a hand procedure to correct some broken fingers.

After the first day of camp, Coach Pete Carroll had nothing but positive news on the Adams’ front.

“He’s really pumped about it, he feels great, he had a really profitable offseason, and he’s really raring to go,” Carroll told reporters Wednesday. “His mind is in a great spot. To come back with Quandre (Diggs) back there, those two guys really solidify what we are all about back there and take the leadership for our club.”

Unfortunately, it appears Adams will be sidelined once again, with no clear-cut timeline for return. Expectations have been high for the safety since he was acquired in a blockbuster trade with the Jets in 2020. Many have been quick to question Adams’ durability so a healthy season would go a long way towards easing those concerns.

“Jamal is going to take some time to try to figure out, he had a couple of surgeries that he was working on, and yesterday, his hand just wasn’t right,” Carroll explained. “He’s getting some opinions about it, so we will see what that means. I don’t know right now, but I don’t have anything to advance today other than us exchanging in conversation last night. He’s looking into some stuff and he’s trying to get things figured out.”

The Seahawks practically broke the bank to bring Adams to Seattle and he’s only appeared in 12 games in each of his two years in the Emerald City. Now, with another potential operation looming on the horizon, another shortened season may be difficult to avoid.

Seahawks Jamal Adams tweets his rehabilitation is proceeding smoothly

Seattle Seahawks safety Jamal Adams took to Twitter to inform fans that his rehabilitation from his numerous injuries is going well.

Seattle Seahawks safety Jamal Adams dealt with a large number of injuries throughout the 2020 season. Among others, he suffered a torn labrum and broken fingers, which significantly hindered his performance in the team’s 30-20 postseason loss against the Los Angeles Rams.

With the season in the books, Adams underwent surgery for these injuries and has been going through rehabilitation ever since.

On Valentine’s Day, Adams took to Twitter and assured fans that his rehabilitation is going smoothly while expressing optimism for the Seahawks’ 2021 season.

“By the way, I’m kicking rehabs ass!!!!!!!” Adams tweeted, “Gonna be a special year, I feel it!!!!!! LET’S KEEP BEING GREAT.”

Adams is heading into a contract year but is expected to be a key component of the Seahawks’ defense next season. He has been passionate about his love for this team in the past and will hopefully return fully healthy and bring that fire to the field in 2021.
