Seahawks vs. Panthers Week 3: Preview, date, time, injuries, streaming, more

The 1-1 Seattle Seahawks play host to the 0-2 Carolina Panthers in Week 3 of the 2023 regular season. Seattle leads the all-time head-to-head between the teams 10-5, including a 2-1 in postseason games. The last time the teams met was in 2022 and the Panthers won 30-24.

The game will mark the Seahawks 165th straight sell-out of Lumen Field (or CenturyLink or Qwest, as the stadium used to be called) with all games being sold out since the 2003 season. This doesn't include the 2020 season, of course, when fans were not allowed inside stadiums for the most part due to the COVID pandemic. Lumen Field is considered one of the loudest outdoor stadiums in the NFL (thanks, Lake Union!).

Seattle played poorly in a Week 1 loss, but rebounded to play much better in beating a pretty good Detroit Lions team on the road in Week 2. As long as Geno Smith and the offense can be efficient, they should be able to score enough to lead Seattle to a Week 3 victory. The Panthers start rookie quarterback Bryce Young who has few offensive weapons to work with.

Seattle Seahawks vs. Carolina Panthers Week 3: All you need to know

When and where

The game will be played Sunday, September 24 at Lumen Field in Seattle, Washington at 1:05 pm PT. Let's hope 12s turn up and make the stadium as loud as Lions made Ford Field in Week 2. A young Panthers quarterback might get rattled a bit by the crowd noise.

Weather

As of right now, the weather on Sunday in Seattle is supposed to be a bit rainy. There is a 40 percent chance of heavy drizzle (the Seattle way), but the wins should only be about 5-10 MPH (so not a factor). The high should be in the mid-60s.

Injuries

The Seahawks could have game-time decisions on a few players. Safety Jamal Adams (leg) is practicing at full strength this week, but he still might not play on Sunday. Cornerback Riq Woolen (chest/shoulder) is likely out in Week 3. Left tackle Charles Cross (toe) is also week-to-week and head coach Pete Carroll said Cross just needs to prove he can consistently put weight on his foot. Finally, receiver DK Metcalf might be day-to-day with a rib injury he suffered in Week 2.

The Panthers will be without cornerback Jaycee Horn so that should help Geno Smith. We will post injury updates separately each day before Sunday for the latest.

Seattle's Week 3 game will be carried on CBS (KIRO-TV 7 in Seattle) with play-by-play by Ian Eagle and color commentary by Charles Davis. Evan Washburn will be the sideline reporter. But wait! There's more.
