Seattle Seahawks safety Jamal Adams clearly played at less than 100 percent for their playoff game against the Los Angeles Rams earlier this month.
Adams was unable to lift his left arm to his normal extent due to a torn labrum in his shoulder that suffered in the team’s final game against the San Francisco 49ers last week. It was by no means the only injury Adams sustained this season and he underwent surgery last week to deal with the two worries of the year’s concerns.
Adams posted on his Instagram account about the injuries he sustained in his first season in Seattle.
‘I did not complain all season because it was bigger than me, ”Adams wrote in a photo of himself from an operation, via Brady Henderson of ESPN.com.
Adams said he hyper-extended his elbow week 1 against Atlanta. The following week, he injured his middle and ring fingers, which contained at least one fracture that lingered throughout the year. A groin injury in Dallas by Week 3 forced him to miss the next four games. He dislocated his right shoulder during the first encounter against the Rams and tore the labrum in his left shoulder against the 49ers.
“Last week I had two surgeries at the same damn time,” he continued. ‘I say it all to say, retain the same energy – for next season when I’m healthy again. You are all on my list. ‘
Despite the injuries and the missing four games, Adams still set the record for most sacks ever by a defensive back with 9.5 and was named the Pro Bowl and a second team All-Pro.
