Week 17 Injury Report: Seahawks vs. Steelers
Details on the Seahawks’ injury situation heading into their Week 17 matchup with the Pittsburgh Steelers, including practice status designations.
The Seahawks returned to practice on Wednesday afternoon in preparation for their upcoming matchup with the Steelers and were missing eight players due to injury and three for resting purposes. Among the players that missed practice due to injury were linebacker Jordyn Brooks and running back Kenneth Walker III. Brooks has been dealing with an ankle injury in recent weeks and exited the Week 16 win over the Titans on Sunday. Walker has also been dealing with his injury over the past couple of weeks but was able to make it through the Titans game without any setbacks. He is now dealing with an illness on top of his shoulder injury and was unable to practice today because of it.
The defensive line was missing a few players in the first practice of the week as Dre’Mont Jones, Mario Edwards Jr. and Jarran Reed all missed Wednesday’s practice. Jones and Edwards Jr. are dealing with injuries while Reed was given the day off for rest.
In good news, defensive backs Jamal Adams and Devon Witherspoon returned to practice in a limited capacity as they have recently missed time due to injuries. Adams has been dealing with a knee injury for a large part of the season and has missed the last two games but returned to practice on Wednesday. “He was in walkthrough also bouncing around,” said head coach Pete Carroll. “He’s going to practice today. It’s the first time in a while we got a chance to get him out, he’s had a good break, and we’ll see what that means. I can’t conclude anything about that, but I’m happy for him, I know he’s pumped up to be back out there.”
