Around the NFL: Titans safety Jamal Adams ruled OUT for Week 1

The least surprising news of the weekend has dropped. On Friday, it was announced that Tennessee Titans safety Jamal Adams has been ruled out with a hip injury. After missing the last few days of practice, it seems Adams’ career with the Titans will begin where he spent most of it with the Seahawks – on the sideline.

Adams was released by Seattle this offseason. There were rumors the Seahawks wanted him back, but at a different position. However, that was not something Adams was interested in, and he was eventually signed to a one-year, veteran minimum contract in Tennessee. Moving to Nashville has become Adams’ newest NFL home, and he was eventually accompanied with his fellow Seahawks teammate, Quandre Diggs.

When healthy, and utilized properly, Adams can be a unique defensive weapon. However, “when healthy” seems to be an important qualifier these days. Unfortunately, the Pro Bowler cannot seem to keep his body in tact to withstand a full NFL season.

The NFL season is a marathon, not a sprint. Here’s hoping a missed week initially means Adams can be preserved down the road to have success in the Music City.
