Seahawks vs. Browns Week 8: Preview, date, time, injuries, watch, streaming, more

The Seattle Seahawks will take on the Cleveland Browns in Week 8 and both teams are 4-2. Cleveland has a fantastic defense, while Seattle has an improving one. Both teams have good quarterbacks who haven't always been at their best in 2023 (there is a chance that Cleveland quarterback Deshaun Watson won't play on Sunday due to a rotator cuff injury).

Seattle leads the all-time series 13-6. This marks only the third time the teams have met since Pete Carroll became the Seahawks coach in 2010, though. Seattle lost in 2011 but then won the 2015 and 2019 meetings. Of course, very few players remain on either team from the 2019s squads.

To win, Seattle is probably going to have to match what Cleveland does defensively. The Browns are good against the run and the pass, just as Seattle has been in the last few games. That said, Cleveland has a more versatile offense than anyone else Seattle has played since Week 2.

I think Seattle can win, but only if Geno Smith reverts back to not turning the ball over. If he can do that, I think Seattle wins 17-16. If he has a couple of turnovers, Seattle will lose 24-14.

Seattle Seahawks vs. Cleveland Browns Week 8: All you need to know

When and where

Week 8 will take place at Lumen Field at 1:05 pm PT on October 29 (Sunday, of course). Seattle will wear their throwback uniforms resembling the ones from the 1990s and Kingdome days. This will mark the first time Seattle has worn royal blue jerseys along with some apple green since 2001. Let's hope they play better in Week 8 than they did for most of the 1990s.

Weather

It's going to be chilly on Sunday, but it will be sunny. The temperatures are expected to be in the lower 50s for the high. The wind won't be bad between 5-10 MPH.

Injuries

The Browns got some decent news on Friday when running back Jerome Ford was surprisingly able to practice and he is now listed as questionable. Ford is Cleveland's leading rusher so far in 2023. Quarterback Deshaun Watson is definitely out for Week 8, though.

But to the team we really care about, the Seahawks, receiver Tyler Lockett is listed as questionable a hamstring injury. Safety Jamal Adams is also questionable with his knee issues. Both players should play, though, and Lockett practiced some on Friday.

The only players listed as out for Seattle are running back Kenny McIntosh (who has missed the entire season so far) and nose tackle Austin Faoliu (Faoliu hasn't played either). Right guard Phil Haynes is doubtful and rookie Anthony Bradford will probably replace him again in Week 8.

TV, radio, and streaming

The game will be carried by FOX (FOX13 in Seattle). In the broadcast booth will be Adam Amin (play-by-play) and Daryl Johnson (color analyst). The excellent Pam Oliver will be the sideline reporter.
