NFL Pete Carroll rules out Jamal Adams for Week 1, Devon Witherspoon unlikely to play
Seahawks head coach Pete Carroll has ruled out strong safety Jamal Adams for his team’s Week 1 matchup with the Rams.
Carroll broke the news in an interview on KJR Radio.
Pete Carroll said on @933KJR that Jamal Adams won't be back for the season opener. Carroll said all along they won't rush him back, and that news isn't surprising with him not practicing this week.

While it’s a bummer to hear this, the fact that neither started the season on the injured reserve list indicates they’ll both be back soon.
