The Seahawks’ initial injury report for Week 7 continues a frustrating trend

The Seattle Seahawks are getting some rest after playing three games in 11 days. (Coincidentally, DK Metcalf caught three of his 11 targets in a loss to the San Francisco 49ers in Week 6.) That could mean Seattle is feeling a little healthier in Week 7 and possibly rookie defensive tackle Byron Murphy II back from injury gets back.

The issue with the initial injury report for Week 7 doesn’t tell us much other than we now know that Rayshawn Jenkins will miss at least four games. He was placed on injured reserve on Wednesday. He has a hand injury.

As was often the case with former head coach Pete Carroll, the team chose to rest players even with minor injuries, and these were listed on the injury report. The difference between Carroll and new head coach Mike Macdonald is that Macdonald doesn’t like to tell the media anything about how badly players are injured.

So, looking at Wednesday’s initial injury report against the Atlanta Falcons, the truth is that while the Seahawks aren’t intentionally talking about who’s injured, there could also simply be players who are rested rather than in real danger. to miss the next game.

Of course, this is both good and bad news. Prior to Week 6, Seattle listed four players who did not participate in the team’s first practice. Of these, the 12s knew that Uchenna Nwosu would not play because he was placed on injured reserve. Derick Hall played against the 49ers. This actually means that only two of the players listed had concerns about missing the game.

Seattle has a few players listed ahead of the Falcons game who will have limited or no participation. Three games in 11 days is difficult, and even with the extra rest they played last time on Thursday Night Football, Seattle could still give a struggling player a day of rest. Here’s what happened on Wednesday.
