The Seahawks they plan to place adams on injured reserve Thursday, and will sign defensive back Teez Tabor from the practice squad Atlanta Falconsto take his place in the 53-man squad, the source confirmed.

adams and the Seahawks they believed that the three-time selected Pro Bowl he was about to enjoy a comeback season after a disappointing 2021 in which he was limited to no sack in 12 games. But, any possibility of it was ruled out in the second period of the victory of Seattle by 17-16 on the Denver Broncos in “monday night football“, when adams was carried off the field after being injured in a charge on his former teammate, Russell Wilson.

the head coach Peter Carroll described it as a “serious” injury at the end of the game, saying on his weekly radio show Tuesday that adams he would need “some work done there,” though he paused before declaring, then, that the Adams campaign was over.

The NFL Network first reported Tuesday that adams will undergo a surgery that will put an end to his campaign, and that Seattle will sign to Tabor.

“Yes, he’s hurt,” he said. Carroll to Seattle Sports 710-AM on Tuesday. “He hurt his knee and he’s going to need to get some work done there. I don’t know the extent of it, but I know it’s serious. It breaks your heart. He loves the game so much. He’s going to be sorely missed.”

After being examined in the medical tent, he was helped aboard the aid cart. adams he looked visibly upset, at some point apparently bursting with frustration, as he was led into the locker room.

Carroll has said that the injury is to the quadriceps tendon of adamswhich joins the quadriceps muscle to the top of the patella.

“The fact that he’s so in love with the game of football, he loves playing football and he just can’t deal right now with ‘How can this keep happening?'” Carroll on his radio show. “It was nice that he had his mom and dad in the locker room during the game, really, when he was there to help with all of that, but it was really tough. So, I hope everyone sends their love to him.”
