The Seattle Seahawks offense is broken. While the disaster on Thursday night wasn’t all on the team’s offensive line, the Seahawks front certainly didn’t do their quarterback, Sam Darnold, any favors.
Well, have no fear, Seahawks fans! Because help is on the way. Seahawks head coach Mike Macdonald said that starting right guard Anthony Bradford has a very good chance to return next Sunday in the team’s showdown with the Kansas City Chiefs.
Bradford has been on injured reserve since Week 2 with hip
and knee injuries. The three-year starter played against the New England Patriots and sat out of Seattle’s win over the Arizona Cardinals before being placed on IR.
A rotation of Christian Haynes and rookie Beau Stephens has replaced Bradford, with both guards being a mixed bag through four weeks. The Seahawks offensive line has struggled significantly in 2026, and Bradford’s return could be a boost, especially for right tackle Abraham Lucas.
While Bradford has been much maligned by Seahawks fans during his tenure, he served as a key piece for Seattle down the stretch last season. The return comes at a time when the Seahawks are desperate for answers on offense as they fell to 3-3 in the midst of their toughest stretch of the season.
Thanks to the Thursday night game, the Seahawks will have nine days before needing to make a decision on Bradford before they host the Chiefs on Sunday Night Football on Oct. 25 at 5:20 p.m.
