Seattle Seahawks safety Jamal Adams needs season-ending surgery for a torn labrum in his left shoulder, coach Pete Carroll confirmed Wednesday.
Carroll said he believed Adams' surgery would take place Thursday and that this labrum tear isn't as bad as last year's, which was in the same shoulder and also required surgery.
"He was really emotional about it last night," Carroll said.
Adams suffered the injury in the second quarter of Sunday's victory against the San Francisco 49ers. When he came back to the sideline wearing street clothes in the third quarter, he shared a long embrace with his position coach Andre Curtis.
