The 2020 NFL season came to a screeching halt for Seattle Seahawks safety Jamal Adams and his teammates Saturday afternoon, losing to the Los Angeles Rams 30-20 in the wild-card round.
For Adams, the chance to appear in a playoff game meant so much for the first-timer, yet was over so quickly. He’s now looking ahead to what needs to happen over the offseason, most importantly, tending to his injured shoulders and broken fingers. Adams will likely underdo a surgery or two in the near future to address the issues.
“I’ve got to take care of these fingers for sure, and the shoulder,” Adams said after the loss. “It’s part of the game. I’m not sitting here making excuses for anything, it’s part of the game, and like I said early in the week, there was no doubt in my mind that I wasn’t going to go out there and attempt to play.
“I did what I could, I wish I could have done more to help the team win, but obviously things didn’t roll our way.”
Adams certainly isn’t making excuses, but he was a bit hindered by his shoulder in Saturday’s matchup, wearing a brace of sorts to stabilize the injury, which turned out to be a torn labrum.
“Yes, I did have a harness on that restricted me from going up or going across, but that’s not an excuse,” Adams explained. “I’ve got to make the play. I mean, it was a hell of a grab, stuff like that happens, but you know obviously the ball just didn’t roll our way on that one.”
