S Jamal Adams & Three Running Backs Are Game-Day Decisions For Seahawks vs. 49ers - Seahawks.com

The Seahawks head into Sunday's game against the 49ers with some significant injury-related question marks, including one of their top defensive players and three of their four running backs.

All-Pro safety Jamal Adams, who has missed three games with a groin injury, returned to practice on Friday and will be a game-day decision.

"He worked today," Seahawks coach Pete Carroll said. "He got some work today so that's a good sign. It's a real good sign… We'll just have to figure it out, see if he's OK. You're going see some guys we're going right to game time on a number of guys."

The hope was that Adams would be able to return to practice earlier in the week, but he came down with an illness on Wednesday, meaning he had to be sent home under the league's COVID-19 protocols. Adams has continued to test negative throughout the week, but that illness still kept him away until Thursday afternoon.

Asked if there was concern about Adams potentially playing after practicing only once following a long layoff, Carroll said, "Yeah, it's a big concern. It's a big concern. That's a lot to ask. He's worked out great in his conditioning work and all that. The fact that he had to miss a couple days here really kind of threw a wrench in the works for a smooth comeback. So we'll have to see what happens at game time."

Ryan Neal, who has started the past three games in place of Adams, is listed as questionable with a hamstring injury but should be good to go, Carroll said.

Three of Seattle's four running backs—Chris Carson, Carlos Hyde and Travis Homer—all came out of last week's game with injuries, and will all be evaluated on game-day, Carroll said. Hyde, who is listed as doubtful, and Carson, who is questionable, did not practice all week, while Homer was able to return to practice on a limited basis on Friday.

"We're going all the way to game time on all three guys and just see what happens then," Carroll said. "We did not practice them this week and that was just to give them every single day to have a chance to get back. So we'll see them on the field on Sunday."

Rookie DeeJay Dallas was the only healthy running back on the roster this week, and regardless of which injured backs are able to play, if any, Dallas figures to have a significant role on Sunday.

"He's had an excellent week," Carroll said. "He's right in the middle of the plan and he's really jacked about the opportunity to carry the load if that would be what happens in this thing. So he had a good week. Later, as the week wore on, I was making sure we were taking care of him. I didn't want to overwork him. He wanted to take every snap and we didn't let him do that. But he's ready to play."
