The Seattle Seahawks secured a thrilling victory against the Philadelphia Eagles on Monday Night Football, but it was not without some notable absence. Star safety Jamal Adams, who was sidelined with a knee injury, was not present at Lumen Field during the game. This decision drew attention and sparked discussions among players and analysts alike.

Head coach Pete Carroll revealed during his Monday show on Seattle Sports that Adams opted to stay home instead of joining the team at the stadium. Carroll acknowledged that it was a difficult situation for Adams and they had discussed how he would deal with it. However, the coach believed that Adams didn't need to be physically present at the field.

Former Seahawks linebacker K.J. Wright, who had played alongside Adams last year, shared his thoughts on this matter during the weekly K.J. Wright Show on Seattle Sports. Wright expressed his surprise at Adams' absence, stating that it is uncommon for an injured player to be absent from a home game unless their condition prevents them from even walking or in cases of concussions.

Wright emphasized that Adams' decision not to be at Lumen Field drew unnecessary attention to himself. He believed that if Adams had been on the sidelines, showing support and cheering on his teammates, it would have been seen as a positive display of camaraderie. Wright highlighted the actions of other inactive players, Geno Smith and Devon Witherspoon, who were still present at the game, actively supporting their teammates.

While it was evident that Adams was not in optimal health, with the team choosing not to play him on Monday, Wright emphasized that it would have been a non-issue had Adams been present on the sidelines. The absence only served to shift the focus onto Adams rather than on the players on the field.

This development has sparked significant discussion within the Seattle Seahawks community, raising questions about Adams' commitment to the team and his decision-making. The absence of Adams, a key player on the Seahawks' defense, in a crucial game against the Eagles has left fans and analysts curious about the implications for the team moving forward.

The Seattle Seahawks organization has yet to comment further on Adams' absence during the victory. As the team prepares for future games, it remains to be seen whether Adams will be back on the field or if his absence will continue to generate attention and speculation.
