(Seattle, WA) The Seattle Seahawks still smarting off that 2-point loss at Washington last Sunday was delivered some tough news this week. The Hawks also report some positive news on the injury report and will activate some help for the secondary.
Running Back room is nearly empty
The Seahawks were already playing with a light running back room with Zach Carbonnet out as he prepares to get back to playing form after suffering a serious knee injury last season. He’s still likely a few weeks out but Seattle did get good news when Charbonnet began easing back into a practice schedule.
However, their top draft pick, RB Jadarian Price re-injured his chest/shoulder injury to the point he was placed on injured reserve and will miss at least 4 weeks.
Seattle will go with Emmanuel Wilson and George Holani as the likely 1-2 rotation. Seattle signed Velus Jones Jr off their practice squad to add depth. Jones was also elevated in the first week against the Patriots.
Secondary Help coming!
The first good news for the defense is the return of Julien Love to the starting line-up. Love was a late scratch at Washington with a calf injury. So far, there is no injury designation for Love.
The Hawks also activated Trevon Diggs from the practice squad. Seattle signed Diggs this last summer, but he arrived late to training camp. Seattle placed Diggs on the practice squad to allow him time to get up to speed. Diggs did play in one pre-season game and had an interception.
Seattle wasn’t done in assisting the secondary when they elevated safety Maxen Hook from the practice squad for additional depth.
Seahawks sign another Def Tackle
The Seahawks signed defensive tackle Gary Smith III to their practice squad on Tuesday.
Nose tackle Uso Seumalo was released to make room for Smith on the practice squad.
Smith, an undrafted rookie out of UCLA, initially signed with the Raiders after the draft, then was waived prior to the start of the regular season. He was an All-Big Ten Conference honorable mention selection as a senior after starting all 12 games, recording 40 tackles, 1.5 tackles for loss and half a sack.
