Jamal Adams of the Seahawks Removed from PUP List, Gradual Return Planned

On Thursday, the Seattle Seahawks took a significant stride in the recovery process of safety Jamal Adams by activating him from the physically unable to perform (PUP) list.

Representatives of the employees at the North West Shelf facility expressed support for the in-principle agreement with Woodside Energy. A vote to ratify the deal was scheduled for 7:3...
