Seahawks' Jamal Adams dealing with 'first degree' groin strain

Jamal Adams' career with the Seattle Seahawks hasn't started out as he intended. When he was traded to the team by the New York Jets, he expected to play his normal workload. He was limited during Sunday's game, and now we know why.

Head coach Pete Carroll said on 710 ESPN on Monday that Adams is dealing with a "first-degree" groin strain. The 24-year-old is considered day-to-day with the first practice of Week 4 just right around the corner.

#Seahawks coach Pete Carroll said it was "MRI season" after Sunday's game.

On Jamal Adams:

Says Adams' groin strain was "really bothering him after the game… he, too, has a first degree strain.”

Adams left Sunday's game against the Dallas Cowboys in the fourth quarter, angrily tossing his helmet. The All-Pro safety injured himself when his foot slid on the turf while rushing Dak Prescott.

Dallas ended up scoring on the drive on a 43-yard pass from Prescott to Michael Gallup.

Adams left the game with two tackles, a quarterback hit and a pass breakup. His status for Week 4 hasn't been made clear.
