The Seattle Seahawks secondary has been fighting an uphill battle since Week 2. It’s not been smooth sailing in the attempt to get even half of the original starting defensive backs on the field.
Saturday afternoon the Seahawks released their final injury report ahead of the late Monday Night matchup with the Houston Texans.
Derick Hall remains sidelined with the oblique issue that knocked him out against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. The return of Demarcus Lawrence to that edge position remains impeccable
timing. Macdonald indicated that Hall is on pace to return after the bye week.
As to the rest of it, well, it’s the best news we’ve had in quite some time. Even if we’re not out of the woods just yet.
Riq Woolen has successfully made it through concussion protocol just in time to help out against the Texans’ elite wideout Nico Collins.
While it would have been fire emoji to see no injury designations for Witherspoon and Love, this is the first time that both players have been Questionable or better since Week 2. The fact that Witherspoon practiced in full for consecutive days is pretty encouraging.
So you’re saying there’s a chance?
On the other side of the field, receiver Christian Kirk has officially been ruled out.
He’d been their third target-getter this season. Cornerback Alijah Huzzie has also been ruled out, the only two players ruled out for Houston.
