Seattle Seahawks star safety Jamal Adams is in for a tough off-season as he will likely need surgery on his right shoulder on top of operations for a torn labrum in his left shoulder and the fingers on his left hand, according to ESPN's Adam Schefter.
Adams played through Saturday's wild-card game against the Los Angeles Rams with the injuries, but wasn't making any excuses for the team's 30-20 loss.
"I've got to take care of these fingers for sure, and the shoulder," Adams said. "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. I think we shot ourselves in the foot a lot of times on both sides of ball and versus a good team like that you just can't do it. I have a lot of respect for that organization over there, they just do it right. So we've just got to continue to get better, continue to work on ourselves as a team and that's our focus."
In his first season in Seattle, the 25-year-old had 80 tackles, two sacks and defended six passes through 12 games. Adams was acquired by the Seahawks from the New York Jets last off-season for a 2021 first-rounder, a 2022 first-rounder, a 2021 third-rounder and safety Bradley McDougald.
