The Seahawks' secondary has been beset by injuries over the opening three weeks of the season, but it will get some players back as Seattle prepares to host the Giants in primetime in Week 4.

Seattle was without starting cornerback Riq Woolen (chest) and versatile nickel turned safety Coby Bryant (toe) for Sunday's Week 3 win over the Panthers, a game that saw them lose corner Tre Brown to a concussion.

However, Seahawks head coach Pete Carroll had a great deal of good news about Seattle's defensive backfield on Monday, revealing not only that Woolen is set to return, but that safety Jamal Adams will make his long-awaited comeback from the turn quad he suffered in last year's season opener.

"Jamal is back," Carroll told Seattle Sports. "He’s got to make it through the week (of practice), but he’s ready to go. He is so ready. As jacked up and excited a player as he is, we’ve just got to keep him calmed down. I’ve already started talking to him about that so that he doesn’t lose his brains because he’s so fired up to play."

Carroll added that Woolen has a "good chance" to be back, while Bryant "is saying he’s going to make it back".

By contrast, Brown seemingly faces an uphill battle to play having sustained what Carroll described as a "legit concussion".

But with Michael Jackson likely to occupy the outside spot across from Woolen and rookie Devon Witherspoon coming off a game where he allowed a passer rating when targeted of just 46.6, Seattle's secondary should be well-equipped to deal with the Giants' passing game.

Adams return is less about what the three-time Pro Bowl safety can do in coverage and more about his potential impact as a pass rusher. He set the record for most sacks in a single season by a defensive back with 9.5 in 2020 and could immediately step in and help the Seahawks pass rush take advantage of a Giants offensive line that had no answer to the 49ers' vaunted defensive front in New York's Week 3 loss.

On the Seahawks' offensive line, starting left tackle Charles Cross (toe) and right guard Phil Haynes (calf) are both primed to return to action.
