The Seattle Seahawks have been eagerly awaiting the return of their star safety Jamal Adams, and it looks like they’ll finally get their wish this week. On Monday, head coach Pete Carroll confirmed that Adams is likely to be activated from the Physically Unable to Perform (PUP) list this week.
Adams was placed on the PUP list at the start of training camp after undergoing surgery to repair a torn labrum in his shoulder. He has been rehabbing since then and has been making steady progress. Carroll said that Adams has been doing well in practice and is expected to be ready to play in the team’s season opener against the Atlanta Falcons on Sunday.
The addition of Adams to the lineup will be a huge boost for the Seahawks’ defense. Adams is one of the best safeties in the league and has been named to the Pro Bowl in each of the last three seasons. He is a versatile player who can play both safety and linebacker, and his presence on the field will give Seattle a much-needed boost in the secondary.
Adams’ return will also be a welcome sight for the Seahawks’ offense. His ability to blitz and cover tight ends will make it difficult for opposing teams to move the ball downfield. He also has a knack for making big plays, which could help spark Seattle’s offense.
The Seahawks have been waiting for Adams’ return for months, and it looks like they’ll finally get their wish this week. With Adams back in the lineup, Seattle’s defense should be much improved, and their offense could be even better. It’s going to be exciting to watch Adams back on the field this Sunday.
