RENTON, Wash. -- The Seattle Seahawks activated safety Jamal Adams off the physically unable to perform list on Thursday, a significant step in his return from surgery to repair a torn quad tendon.
Adams is not ready to practice yet, but coming off PUP allows him to participate in the slower-paced morning walk-throughs. The Seahawks gradually brought back cornerback Riq Woolen and linebacker Jordyn Brooks in similar fashion this summer.
"It's a good step for him ... as he's preparing to get back," Carroll said of Adams. "We look at these weeks, they go by quickly now, and if he would continue to stay on PUP, he wouldn't be able to get any of our football work.
