Earlier this week the Seattle Seahawks announced that strong safety Jamal Adams would undergo season ending surgery on the torn labrum he suffered in the win over the San Francisco 49ers in Week 13. Adams has now had his surgery, and as such it is off to injured reserve for the remainder of the season for him.
In order to fill the open roster spot created by moving Adams to injured reserve, the Seahawks looked to their own practice squad in order to promote from within.
Cornerback Gavin Heslop made a strong enough showing during training camp that many observers thought he had a shot to make the 53 man roster.
