"His quadricep tendon I think got damaged some tonight," Seattle head coach Pete Carroll said after the game. "He got hurt. So it's a serious injury."
Adams is in his third season with the Seahawks after Seattle acquired him from the New York Jets in 2020 for two first-round draft picks. He missed the last five games of the 2021 season with a torn labrum.
