The Seattle Seahawks saw injuries to a number of players last season including starting safety Jamal Adams and linebacker Jordyn Brooks. Coach Pete Carroll is now optimistic both could return in time for the start of training camp later this summer.
“They’re doing well,” Carroll told reporters during his press conference on Wednesday. “The progress is being made. I think it’s this week that we’re meeting with them to make sure that they’re making their progress, but everything’s going fine so far. They’re very optimistic on their sides, they’re really thinking that they’re going to make it, so we’ll hold a good thought. Making camp. that’s what they’re shooting for.
“They’re not resigned to the fact that it’s going to take them past that, so they’ve got the right mindset. We’ll see what happens.”
Adams tore his quadriceps tendon in the season opener last year, while Brooks tore his ACL in Week 17. Despite the severity of the injuries, Carroll is hopeful both can still be ready in time.
“It could happen,” Carroll said. “There’s some optimism that it could happen. We’ll be conservative through that timeframe to make sure that we don’t screw it up by hurrying them along, but I’m wide open to it that they think they can do it, so we’ll see what happens.”
