Strong safety Jamal Adams will not play in the Seattle Seahawks' season opener against the Los Angeles Rams, coach Pete Carroll told Seattle's 93.3 KJR-FM radio Friday.
That declaration confirmed what has seemed likely in recent days. Adams, who missed almost all of last season after tearing a quad tendon in the opener, has still not practiced since being activated off the physically unable to perform list Aug. 24; he has taken part only in walk-through since then.
Carroll told reporters last week that Adams was expected to begin practicing this week, but he did not.
