Injuries are becoming a major concern
On top of Wilson and everyone else who was hurt coming into this game, the Seahawks suffered three more significant injuries today:
- Doug Baldwin hurt his knee in the 2nd quarter. He returned, but only had one catch after that. He said after the game he’ll have an MRI on Monday.
- Thomas Rawls injured his leg, and the trainers were looking at his surgically repaired ankle. He didn’t return.
- Tyler Lockett hurt his knee and missed most of the second half. He also returned.
I never thought i’d say this, but that Week 5 bye looks like it’ll turn out to be a good thing for Seattle. They need to get healthy if they are going to make another playoff run this year.
