Jamal Adams Says 'No Doubt' He'll Play for Seahawks vs. Rams Despite Injury

Seattle Seahawks head coach Pete Carroll said safety Jamal Adams is a game-time decision for Saturday's wild-card matchup with the Los Angeles Rams after the All-Pro injured his shoulder against the San Francisco 49ers last week.

Adams, however, has a different opinion. He told reporters there is "no doubt" he'll suit up for the game.

"I'm playing, man," he said. "As long as these legs are moving. As long as my faith is with the man upstairs, which is very strong, I'mma be out there."

He played the first three years of his career with the New York Jets before they traded him to the Seahawks in July for a package of draft picks and safety Bradley McDougald. The move was a long time coming for Adams, who asked for a trade in June and publicly criticized then-head coach Adam Gase and former defensive coordinator Gregg Williams a month later. 

This year, the LSU product set an NFL single-season record for a defensive back when he racked up 9.5 sacks, and that was with sitting out four games. 

Adams earned a Pro Bowl nod for the third consecutive year. 

"He hasn't been to the playoffs, and he wants to be part of it and all that, so it kind of crushed him," Carroll told 710 ESPN Seattle on Monday of the injury (h/t ESPN's Brady Henderson). "He's very emotional and all, and he's going to deal with it."

In addition to the left shoulder setback he suffered against the 49ers, Adams has been playing through a right shoulder injury and two broken fingers, per Henderson. But Adams has never made it to the postseason, and he doesn't plan to miss that opportunity.
