Report: Seahawks' Adams broke finger, expected back before season

Seattle Seahawks safety Jamal Adams is expected to be back on the field in early August after breaking the middle finger on his left hand Wednesday, Adam Jude of the Seattle Times reports.

The former All-Pro defensive back plans to be ready for the start of the season, Jude adds.

Adams is expected to practice with a club and will wear a special cast for games, sources told NFL Network's Ian Rapoport. While surgery remains likely, the plan is for it to be done in the offseason.

The 26-year-old left training camp to seek additional medical opinions Thursday regarding how to proceed. The injury is believed to have occurred on the Seahawks' first day of camp.

Adams has played with dislocated digits on his left hand in each of the past two seasons. He underwent a procedure to fuse two fingers to help solve the issue.

The three-time Pro Bowler missed the final five games of the 2021 campaign after undergoing surgery to repair a shoulder issue. Adams racked up 87 tackles, four tackles for loss, and two interceptions last season.

Adams is entering his third campaign in Seattle following a 2020 trade from the New York Jets. He's hoping to recapture past form that resulted in 9.5 sacks and 11 tackles for loss in his first year with Seattle.
