The Seattle Seahawks anticipated that one of their Pro Bowl players would be absent from Wednesday’s practice. However, they ended up with two key players on the sideline.
Wide receiver DK Metcalf and cornerback Devon Witherspoon were the most prominent names on Seattle’s Wednesday injury report, both listed as “did not practice.”
Metcalf is recovering from a sprained MCL that sidelined him for last Sunday’s 31-10 loss to the Buffalo Bills. Head coach Mike Macdonald confirmed Wednesday morning that Metcalf would not practice that day but expressed optimism that the two-time Pro Bowler could return to practice on Thursday and potentially play this Sunday against the Los Angeles Rams.
Witherspoon, meanwhile, was held out due to a foot injury. A Pro Bowler as a rookie last season, Witherspoon’s injury was unexpected, as there had been no prior reports suggesting he was dealing with any issues.
Additional notable updates from Wednesday’s injury report included:
– Offensive tackles George Fant and Abraham Lucas were limited participants as they work back from knee injuries. Fant was designated to return from injured reserve last week, while Lucas is on a 21-day window from the physically unable to perform list. Macdonald indicated that Fant might return this Sunday, while Lucas is likely to be ready after Seattle’s Week 11 bye.
– Defensive end Dre’Mont Jones, who sustained an AC sprain in his shoulder last Sunday, was also limited on Wednesday.
– Wide receiver Tyler Lockett (oblique) and tight end Noah Fant (groin) were limited as well.
