Adams (concussion) has been ruled out for the remainder of Monday's matchup with the Giants.
Adams lasted just one defensive possession in his season debut Monday and he will now enter concussion protocol. The safety will benefit from the Seahawks' bye week in Week 5 and set his sights on being back for the team's next contest Oct. 15 versus Cincinnati.

Seahawks' Jamal Adams: Full participant in practice
Rotowire
Adams (knee) was a full practice participant Thursday, John Boyle of the Seahawks' official site reports.
The three-time All-Pro has not played since Week 1 of the 2022 season after tearing the quadriceps in his left leg. Adams was listed as questionable for Seattle's Week 3 game against the Panthers but ended up sitting out again. The veteran safety appears on track to play Monday night against the Giants.

Seahawks' Jamal Adams: Not expected to play Sunday
Rotowire
Adams (knee) is not expected to suit up versus the Panthers on Sunday, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.
Adams is officially listed as questionable for Sunday's contest, but he looks like he'll need more time to heal up from the knee surgery he underwent last September before making his 2023 debut. Official confirmation on Adams' Week 3 status will arrive when Seattle releases its inactive list roughly 90 minutes prior to Sunday's 4:05 p.m. ET kickoff. The Seattle defense is in dire need of playmakers after a rough two-game stretch to begin the 2023 campaign, so it's encouraging at least that Adams reportedly has a better chance of playing Week 4 versus the Giants on Monday night, Oct. 2.

Seahawks' Jamal Adams: Gets questionable tag
Rotowire
The Seahawks have listed Adams (knee) as questionable for Sunday's tilt against the Panthers, Gregg Bell of The Tacoma News Tribune reports.
Head coach Pete Carroll indicated Adams is "as close as you can get," according to Michael-Shawn Dugar of The Athletic. While it sounds like he will be a game-time decision, the 27-year-old appears to be trending in the right direction. With Julian Love (hamstring) and Quandre Diggs (hamstring) both banged up, it could be an advantageous time for Adams to make his season debut.

Seahawks' Jamal Adams: Limited practice Thursday
Rotowire
Adams (knee) was a limited participant at the Seahawks' practice Thursday, John Boyle of the Seahawks' official site reports.
Adams pulled back his workload at practice Thursday after logging a full session to open the week Wednesday. It's unclear whether the safety suffered a setback with his knee or if the team is being cautious in its approach ahead of Week 3 versus Carolina. More information on his status will come on Seattle's final injury report Friday.

Seahawks' Jamal Adams: Practices fully Wednesday
Rotowire
Adams (knee) was a full participant in Wednesday's practice, John Boyle of the Seahawks' official site reports.
"There's always the possibility that he could play, because he's practicing with us, he'll go full-go today and have a great week, I hope," coach Pete Carroll said. "We're planning on making sure we don't do it until the time is exactly right, so we're trying to measure that, sensing how he feels and all of that. He's really excited about how close he is, so we'll see what happens." Adams, of course, is looking to make his first appearance since last season's Week 1 torn ACL. We'll have a better idea on his Week 3 availability later this week.

Seahawks' Jamal Adams: Not an option for Week 1
Rotowire
Adams (quadriceps) will not play Week 1 against the Rams, Gregg Bell of The Tacoma News Tribune reports.
The Seahawks took Adams off the PUP list because they think he can be ready before Week 5, but coach Pete Carroll confirmed Friday that the safety will miss at least one game. Adams suffered a torn quad tendon last September and has played exactly as many games (25) as he's missed through three seasons with the Seahawks. His upcoming absence leaves Julian Love as the likely starter next to Quandre Diggs, with Seattle having prepared for this scenario by giving Love a two-year, $12 million contract this March after he made 16 starts and recorded 124 tackles in his final season with the Giants.

Seahawks' Jamal Adams: Removed from PUP list
Rotowire
Adams (quadriceps) passed his physical and was removed from the Seahawks' active/PUP list Thursday, John Boyle of the team's official website reports.
Adams is not expected to fully participate at practice right away, but rather, get eased back into the swing of things. The Pro Bowl safety was acquired by Seattle in 2020 and has since accumulated 173 tackles (118 solo), two interceptions, nine passes defensed, one forced fumble and 9.5 sacks across 25 games. He missed nearly the entire 2022 campaign after suffering a season-ending quadriceps injury in the first half of the opener, but it looks like he is nearing the end of that recovery process.

Seahawks' Jamal Adams: Return timeline still unclear
Rotowire
Adams' (quadriceps) status remains uncertain, Nick Shook of NFL.com reports.
Adams played in just one game before suffering a season-ending quadriceps injury last year. "He's doing well," Seahawks general manager John Schneider said Thursday. "He's working his tail off. We want to be really careful with this. It's been two years in a row where he's been banged up now." Seattle traded for Adams in July 2020 and he went on to set a NFL record for sacks as a defensive back (9.5), but he's appeared in just 25 games overall in the past three seasons.

Seahawks' Jamal Adams: Moves to IR
Rotowire
Seattle placed Adams (knee) on injured reserve Thursday, John Boyle of the Seahawks' official site reports.
Adams will soon undergo surgery to address the torn quadriceps tendon in his left knee that he sustained in Monday's 17-16 win over the Broncos and will be sidelined for the rest of the season as a result. The upcoming procedure will be Adams' fourth since he joined the Seahawks ahead of the 2020 campaign, as he previously underwent a pair of shoulder surgeries along with another surgery last offseason to fuse two dislocated fingers. Seattle signed defensive back Teez Tabor off Atlanta's practice squad to replace Adams on the 53-man roster, but Josh Jones is likely to receive the first opportunity to take over Adams' spot in the starting lineup at safety alongside Quandre Diggs (knee).

Seahawks' Jamal Adams: Slated to miss time
Rotowire
Seahawks coach Pete Carroll said Thursday that Adams (shoulder) is expected to be unavailable with an issue on his surgically repaired hand, Michael-Shawn Dugar of The Athletic reports.
Adams's expected return from a torn labrum suffered in his left shoulder last December will have to be put on hold due to this hand issue. Carroll did not provide a timeline for the one-time All-Pro's return while the safety seeks second opinions for his hand. Adams underwent surgery to repair broken fingers on the same hand in January 2021, so it's possible this current issue springs from this prior injury. As a result, backup safeties Ryan Neal and Marquise Blair should see increased reps during the starter's undetermined absence.

Seahawks' Jamal Adams: Notches second INT
Rotowire
Adams made nine tackles (six solo), two pass breakups and an interception in Monday's 17-15 loss to Washington.
Adams now has a career-high two interceptions this season, both of which were generated in the last three weeks. The 2017 first-round pick has often been criticized for his coverage skills. Adams now has 83 stops (54 solo) through 11 games, matching last year's mark. He will continue to be a high-end IDP contributor as long as he stays healthy.

Seahawks' Jamal Adams: Committed to Seattle long term
Rotowire
Adams reached an agreement Tuesday with the Seahawks on a contract extension worth $70 million over four years, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.
There was talk Adams would attempt to reclassify as a linebacker instead of a safety for franchise tag purposes if the two sides were unable to break their stalemate. Instead, Adams appears to have agreed to the terms of the Seahawks' last offer, which included $38 million in guarantees. There may be some language in the contract itself that now made it amenable for Adams to put pen to paper, but either way he's become the highest paid safety in the league. With his future settled, he'll begin fully practicing with the team after being mainly a spectator at training camp until now.

Seahawks' Jamal Adams: Should be ready for training camp
Rotowire
Following an excused absence from June minicamp, the Seahawks expect Adams to show up for the start of training camp in late July, NFL.com's Grant Gordon reports.
Adams is scheduled to play out 2021 under the fifth-year option on his rookie contract, but he likely is aiming for a long-term extension that will make him the highest-paid safety in the NFL. While comments from coach Pete Carroll suggest the Seahawks aren't expecting a holdout, Adams could have other ideas if negotiations don't progress over the next few weeks. He should be healthy for the start of camp, coming back from January surgery on a torn labrum in his left shoulder. Adams had 83 tackles and 9.5 sacks in only 12 games last season, making a big splash in his first year with the Seahawks. In three years with the Jets, he averaged 91 tackles, 8.3 pass defenses, 4.0 sacks and 2.0 forced fumbles.

Seahawks' Jamal Adams: Multiple surgeries on tap
Rotowire
Adams will undergo surgeries on his shoulder and finger after the Seahawks were eliminated from the playoffs by the Rams on Saturday, Bob Condotta of The Seattle Times reports.
The 25-year-old has been banged up throughout the season, and he also suffered a torn labrum in his left shoulder Week 17 against the 49ers, per Joe Fann of NBC Sports Northwest. Adams had 83 tackles (59 solo), 9.5 sacks and one forced fumble in 12 games this season and is entering the final year of his contract in 2021.
Adams posted nine tackles (seven solo) and a sack in Sunday's 20-15 win over Washington.
Adams has been remarkable as a pass rusher with the Seahawks, exceeding any reasonable expectations for the newcomer. The fourth-year safety has registered 9.5 sacks through 10 games, tied for seventh in the league. Every player ahead of him in the rankings has played at least 12 contests. Curtis Crabtree of Sports Radio 950 KJR Seattle reports that Adams is dealing with a couple of broken fingers, but that's not expected to cause the All Pro to miss any time. Adams will look to hit double-digit sacks for the first time in his career next week against the Rams.

Seahawks' Jamal Adams: Notches sack against former team
Rotowire
Adams made five tackles (two solo), a sack and a pass breakup in Sunday's 40-3 win over the Jets.
Adams dropped an easy interception in the first half, which would've marked his first pick since Week 3 of the 2019 season. The fourth-year safety remains the Seahawks' top pass rusher, stacking up 8.5 sacks and 21 quarterback pressures through nine games. In fact, he ranks tied for eighth in the league in sacks despite missing four games this year. Adams will look to continue his dominance next week against Washington, as quarterback Alex Smith (calf) has been sacked on 7.9 percent of dropbacks this year.

Seahawks' Jamal Adams: Expected to play Week 9
Rotowire
Coach Pete Carroll said Sunday that he anticipates Adams (groin/illness) being available against Buffalo in Week 9, Brady Henderson of ESPN.com reports.
Carroll also noted that Adams was on track for Sunday's contest against the 49ers before suffering a setback in the form of a non-COVID illness. The star safety hasn't played a snap since Week 3, but if he's indeed able to return against the 6-2 Bills, his presence would provide Seattle's defense with a notable boost.

Seahawks' Jamal Adams: Not returning Week 8
Rotowire
Adams (groin/illness) is inactive for Sunday's game against the 49ers.
The 25-year-old was expected to return from the groin injury this week, but the injury limited his ability to practice. Adams will instead miss his fourth straight contest, and Ryan Neal (hamstring) should continue to start at strong safety for Seattle in his place.

Seahawks' Jamal Adams: Will be limited Wednesday
Rotowire
Adams (groin) will be a limited participant in Wednesday's practice, Michael-Shawn Dugar of The Athletic reports.
Adams returned to practice for the first time since suffering this groin injury back in Week 3 against the Cowboys. It's a crucial first step for the All-Pro safety's return to the lineup, and he has a good chance to return to action if he can avoid a setback this week. Adams would immediately kickstart a defense that ranks last in the league, allowing 368.7 passing yards per game. His availability for Sunday's matchup against the 49ers will be even more important if starting cornerback Shaquill Griffin (concussion/hamstring) can't go.
