The first Seattle Seahawks injury report since the team’s Thursday night loss to the Denver Broncos brought a mixed bag of news ahead of Seattle’s primetime showdown with the Kansas City Chiefs.
On the very positive side, it appears that running back Zach Charbonnet is a lock to return against the Chiefs after he was a full participant in practice on Wednesday. Charbonnet has been out while rehabbing a torn ACL suffered during last year’s playoff run and should hopefully bring some juice to a running game
that has desperately lacked it after rookie Jadarian Price went down in Week 3.
All other offensive players, including guard Anthony Bradford, were listed as limited participants on Wednesday. Bradford, the team’s starting guard, is working his way back from a brief stint on IR and is expected to be back for the game against Kansas City. That would be notable for the Seahawks, considering rookie guard Beau Stephens was limited on Wednesday.
Rounding out the offensive players is quarterback Drew Lock, who was limited with a right elbow injury, and wide receiver Rashid Shaheed, who was limited with a hip injury. Lock’s condition may be worth monitoring as fans have called for him to start over Sam Darnold due to Darnold’s turnover woes.
The defensive side of the report is where things aren’t so sunny. Four of Seattle’s linebackers were listed on the report, not including DeMarcus Lawrence, who sat for rest. Drake Thomas (ankle), Connor O’Toole (hamstring) and Chazz Surratt (calf) did not practice.
Thomas’ backup, Tyrice Knight, was limited due to an oblique injury on Wednesday. It’s a troubling sign for the Seahawks, who will be tasked with stopping Chiefs star running back and spurned ex-Seahawks Kenneth Walker III on Sunday night.
