Seahawks vs Rams

Injury Report

Issue #6

By: Carter Grusz

The Latest
Both teams head into this matchup healthy with not too many injury concerns heading into Thursday night’s
critical NFC West showdown. However, that obviously means that there aren’t concerns though.

Seahawks Injury Report

The Seahawks this week had a longer injury report than normal as indicated throughout the week. On
Monday alone 18 different players were listed on the injury report with 6 not practicing at all. However,
we should consider that 4 out of those 6 players were resting veterans just gearing up to play Thursday.
On Tuesday however it was much cleaner with just 12 players on the report with just 2 not practicing at
all. Today on Wednesday the Seahawks officially released their final injury report and it is surprisingly
nearly blank. Only one player was ruled out for Sunday and that is rookie wide receiver Dwayne
Eskridge who has been in concussion protocol since the week 1 win over the Colts. However, there are
two players currently for the Hawks who’s statuses for the game our questionable. The first player is a
key piece to the offense and that is running back Chris Carson who all year has been dealing with a
nagging neck injury. He didn’t participate in any of the practices as he will be a game time decision on
Thursday. The other player listed as questionable is line backer Benson Mayowa who is also dealing
with a neck injury however, he is likely to play as he was a full participant in practice Wednesday.

Rams Injury Report

The Rams this week had a somewhat long injury report but not as long as the Seahawks was. On
Monday and Tuesday, the Rams had four of the same players listed as limited on the injury report.
However, on Wednesday their injury report was entirely blank. What that means is that the Rams have
no players heading into this game with their statuses being up in the air which is a rarity in the NFL and
is a plus for them heading into the matchup but not much of a plus though.
