‘Monday Night Football’ capsule

Seahawks (2-1) at Giants (1-2)

Monday, 5:15 p.m. (KTNV-13, ESPN)

■ Line: Seahawks -1½; total 47

■ Seahawks player to watch: Safety Jamal Adams. After more than a year sidelined by a serious torn quadriceps injury, Adams is expected to make his season debut. Adams was hurt in the 2022 season opener and his rehab lasted longer than expected. Adams is bound to be excited, especially returning to New York where he started his career with the Jets. The unknown is what his role will be in the structure of Seattle’s defense and if Adams plays closer to the line of scrimmage rather than a deep safety.

■ Giants player to watch: Defensive tackle Dexter Lawrence. Lawrence has been the only member of the defense who constantly puts pressure on quarterbacks and stops the run. He has 15 tackles and a team-high four quarterback hits. The Giants have two sacks overall and no turnovers in three games.

■ Key matchup: Special teams. Statistically, both teams did little on offense last season with the Seahawks outgaining New York 277-225. The difference was on special teams. Giants punt returner Richie James lost two fumbles that Seattle converted into 10 points.

Injuries: Seahawks are hopeful of getting CB Riq Woolen (chest) and G Phil Haynes (calf) back this week. … CBS Tre Brown (concussion) and Artie Burns (hamstring) are out, and LT Charles Cross (toe) and CB Coby Bryant (toe) are doubtdul. … For the Giants, running back Saquon Barkley (ankle) could not play against the 49ers. His status probably will be a game-time decision. … LT Andrew Thomas (hamstring) will miss a third straight game.

… OLB Azeez Ojulari (hamstring) and G Ben Bredeson (concussion) are expected to play.
