Seahawks' Adams out for season with torn labrum
Seattle Seahawks safety Jamal Adams will undergo season-ending shoulder surgery to repair a torn labrum, head coach Pete Carroll announced Wednesday, according to Brady Henderson of ESPN.
Adams was hurt in Sunday's win over the San Francisco 49ers. He underwent surgery last offseason for a torn labrum in the same shoulder, though Carroll added that this tear is not as bad.
The star safety was "very emotional" upon learning of the injury, Carroll said.
Adams had started every game thus far in 2021, recording 87 tackles and a career-high two interceptions.
The Seahawks acquired Adams from the New York Jets prior to the 2020 season for a package that included two first-round picks. He's racked up two interceptions and 9.5 sacks over 24 appearances with the team.
The 26-year-old inked a four-year, $70-million extension with Seattle this past offseason.
