Jamal Adams played through torn labrum in loss to Rams

Of the many awful things about the Seattle Seahawks’ wild card exit versus the Los Angeles Rams, Jamal Adams didn’t look anywhere near the outstanding All-Pro level safety we saw in the Week 16 win, and we know why.

Adams was a question mark throughout the week due to a left shoulder injury he suffered against the San Francisco 49ers. He’d already been dealing with two broken fingers, and now it’s been revealed that Adams actually had a torn labrum.

Talk about playing through pain. He gutted it out and I know he didn’t want to miss his first playoff game, but you could tell he was not his usual self and Seattle’s defense was certainly damaged from a schematic standpoint as a result. Adams had some missed tackles and wasn’t blitzed as often as we’ve seen in previous weeks.

Ryan Neal really should’ve gotten a lot of his snaps, in my opinion. This became the Quinton Dunbar vs. Buffalo Bills situation all over again and it was awful to see.

Here’s to Adams making a full recovery for both surgeries as the Seahawks enter the offseason early once more.
