Seahawks final injury update for Panthers game

The Seahawks play the Panthers on Sunday in a battle for playoff hopes. Here is who is in and who is out for Seattle during week 12.

There is only one player for the Seahawks that is definitely not going to play Sunday when Seattle plays the Panthers. K.J. Wright missed the week 11 game when Seattle played the Packers and he won’t play this week either.

It has been a rough year for Wright. He has missed most of the season with a knee issue. He did come back and play from weeks 8 through 10, but he clearly wasn’t the same player he has been most of his career. I am not saying Wright isn’t the same quality of player. But he obviously was more injured than Seattle admitted to in preseason.

Receiver Doug Baldwin will be a game-time decision for Seattle. Baldwin injured his groin in practice the same day Pete Carroll said Baldwin was the healthiest he has been all year. Unfortunately, the receiver is on pace for his least productive season since 2012.

Thankfully, the Seahawks got a bit of a break between games going into the Carolina matchup. Seattle will have had 10 days between after playing the Packers on Thursday night during week 11. Hopefully this relative rest will allow players to have more energy for the final six games of 2018.

For the Panthers, receiver Devin Funchess appears unlikely to play. He has an injured back. And fellow receiver Torrey Smith was limited in practice on Friday with a knee problem. Smith looks like he will play against the Seahawks, however.
