Several Seahawks miss practice Thursday but it’s really just Wednesday

Before you panic and go into a tizzy and though key Seahawks missed practice Thursday, this is a weird week so Seattle is planning ahead.

First the bad news, Seahawks fans. 13 Seattle players were either limited in practice Thursday or missed practice altogether. But there is no need to fret. Because since Seattle plays on Monday night in week 10, this day is really like a Wednesday. So Thursday is Wednesday, see? And lots of players get rested on Wednesdays for Seattle.

Those players who simply set out practice due to some ailment were left tackle Duane Brown, center Joey Hunt and defensive lineman Jadeveon Clowney. It would be a very sad day in Seattle should these three players actually miss the game against the 49ers on Monday. But they won’t.

Hunt is probably just getting rest after knowing he will be the Seahawks full-time starter at center for the rest of the year. Clowney has been Seattle’s only consistent defensive line impact player all year (sign the man, Seattle!). And Brown is the best offensive lineman that Seattle has.

Seattle had 10 players that were limited in practice. Among them, and with no reason given, were Chris Carson, Tyler Lockett and Bobby Wagner. Again, like Hunt, Brown and Clowney, they were probably just mostly rested. I am pretty sure Carson, Lockett and Wagner know how to play the game of football.

Also limited in practice were Quinton Jefferson and Quandre Diggs, but this is a good thing. Jefferson has been out the last couple of games and has been one of the better defensive linemen for the Seahawks in 2019. Diggs has been out since being traded to Seattle.

Basically, every player listed on the Seahawks injury report for Thursday has a good chance to play on Monday Night Football. It is going to be a tough game anyway, but at least Seattle seems to be near full strength.
