Jordyn Brooks passes physical, comes off Seahawks’ PUP list, Jamal Adams still on PUP
In seemingly remarkable progress, Jordyn Brooks is ready to practice.
The Seahawks announced Tuesday Brooks had passed a physical examination. He came off the physically-unable-to-perform list and practiced in a morning walkthrough.
He was expected to participate in the full afternoon practice in training camp for the first time Tuesday afternoon.
The linebacker missed the first 14 practices of camp and the first preseason game last week. He tore the anterior cruciate ligament in his knee Jan. 1 in Seattle’s win over the New York Jets.
The Seahawks are likely to be slow and patient in bringing Brooks back, as they have with 2022 Pro Bowl cornerback Riq Woolen. Woolen came off the PUP list last week after arthroscopic knee surgery in May.
The typical recovery time for that injury and subsequent surgery is nine to 12 months. Brooks passed his physical 7 1/2 months after his injury.
Jamal Adams remained on the PUP list. Coach Pete Carroll has been talking about Brooks and Adams in like terms in the progress of their recoveries. Adams, Seattle’s $70 million safety, tore his quadriceps tendon and injured his knee in the Seahawks’ opening game of the 2022 season last September.
