Seahawks safety Jamal Adams missed Wednesday’s full-team scrimmage because of an unusual injury.

According to Seahawks coach Pete Carroll, Adams cut his finger in a kitchen accident.

“He cut his finger slicing some strawberries,” Carroll said, via the Tacoma News Tribune. “He hit his finger. He had a few stitches, so we kept him out, not to make him have to use that thing. It’s a very minor situation. Easy for me to say. He almost cut his finger off. But, anyway, he’ll be fine.”

Adams initially had a large protective wrap on the injured hand but was able to go through warmups before the scrimmage with just two gloves. He is expected to return to practice by this weekend.

  2. Almost cut his finger off cutting strawberries??? They’re one of the softest fruits out there. If you’re gonna lie, at least say he was cutting a cantaloupe or honeydew

  3. The old kitchen accident excuse. It ranks right up there with “the dog ate my homework” excuse. Epic fail.

  4. Remember: When you’re cutting with a knife your holding hand should always be to the side or behind. NEVER in front because 99 times it may be go as normal..however the 1 time where it goes wrong *will* happen and your better hope its just a small prick.

    Be conscious about not allowing yourself to go into autopilot as you can really do some tendon or nerve damage depending on what’s hitm

  5. A good kitchen knife will cut so quick and easy, I’ve nearly lost a digit or two over the years.

  7. Lost the corner of a thumb to a mandoline years ago. Excruciating and not my finest moment. Just haaaad to see if I could get that potato sliced one more time.

    A strawberry is also a smaller fruit, and if your knife skills are lacking, it is totally believable that this happened, not everything is a conspiracy.

  12. My wife does this all the time. No stitches, but little cuts here and there. Some people just aren’t good at avoiding themselves when slicing things in a kitchen.

    My own nemesis is pull off soup can lids. Caught my hand on one at work and had to sheepishly inform my boss that I had to leave early because the cut needed stitches.

    These things happen. Nothing to see here.

  14. The only thing more dangerous than a sharp knife is a dull knife. Any kitchen aficionados out there get that statement

  15. I’ve heard these stories(excuses) before. When I was a kid my dog used to eat my homework.

  19. They don’t have Strawberries in NYC…its all NEW to Adams now that he’s in Washington state.

  20. When the Seahawks negotiate his next contract they should insist on a ‘no strawberry slicing” clause.

  21. Professional chefs cut themselves from time to time. Many on here mocking a layman.

    Sad!

  22. If he really almost cut a finger off the Seahawks need to hire him a chef, similar to Jerry Jones hiring a baby sitter for Dez. ☺
