Seattle Seahawks safety Jamal Adams will miss the rest of the season with a torn labrum, ESPN reported early Wednesday.

Adams, 26, sustained the injury Sunday against the San Francisco 49ers. He was sidelined with a similar injury last season as well.

NFL Network's Ian Rapoport reported Adams will have surgery and is expected to return in 2022.

#Seahawks Pro Bowl S Jamal Adams tore his labrum and suffered additional significant shoulder damage in Sunday’s win, sources say. He’s having season-ending surgery to repair it all. Same shoulder as last year, with surgery a necessity. Adams will make a full recovery for 2022.

Source confirms season-ending surgery for All-Pro safety Jamal Adams (torn labrum), as @RapSheet said. Ryan Neal will likely see elevated role, and promoting from the practice squad an option, too.

The veteran safety recorded two interceptions and 87 tackles this season. He signed a four-year, $70 million contract extension in August that made him the highest-paid safety in the NFL.
