Jamal Adams of the Seattle Seahawks has undergone the planned shoulder surgery. Coach Pete Carroll is oiptimistic, but can’t give a date for a comeback.

Munich – The surgery of Jamal Adams apparently went well. Seahawks coach Pete Carroll indicated as much after the procedure.

Carroll praised the doctors’ efforts in a first statement after the surgery. “The early indications are that they worked really hard to make sure this was going to be safe,” Carroll said on ESPN. “They’ve taken some steps to do that. I haven’t talked to him since the surgery, but we’ve gotten really good reports on what they’ve done. “

Hislop takes Adams’ place

Adams is out for the remainder of this season, and the Seahawks placed him on the Injured Reserve list on Friday, as expected. Cornerback Gavin Heslop was brought up from the practice squad to take Adams’ place on the roster.

Adams has not really been convincing this season. Nevertheless, Carroll said: “We’re losing all the fire he brings, the explosive plays,” the coach said. “He’s had a couple of picks, and he’s done everything – except we haven’t brought him the sacks he had a year ago. Other than that, he plays really hard, tough and has a lot of energy for us. He’s very positive. “

No date for a comeback

When Adams will make his comeback? Unclear. “I can’t give you those dates right now. I don’t know that,” Carroll said. The Seahawks are hoping Adams will be back for the new season.

The safety had signed a new contract through 2025 before the current season, with which the Seahawks incidentally made him the highest-paid safety in the entire NFL. He could earn up to 70 million US dollars in total, 38 million US dollars of which are already guaranteed to him.
