With the end of Week 3, injuries around the NFL continued to soar, and with the Cowboys entering the Seahawks’ showdown, they were without three defensive starts and two role-players. That list seems to be getting longer.
Seahawks 38, Cowboys 31 | Instant response | Fast hits
Seattle’s win in Week 2 was broken ACL by linebacker Bruce Irwin’s start and Nickel Cornback’s Marquez Blair’s start, and Seattle’s win over the Cowboys ahead of the week by Seattle, Quinton Dunbar was out with a knee injury before the start of Cornback and Ecnip By the way, backup safety Leno Hill was out of hip / back injury, which the team learned about on Sunday.
Now, defense, offensive line and other key starters in the backfield may lose time. Here is what Seahawks coach Pete Carroll said about his team’s health after the game.
Key defenders leave with injuries
All-pro safety Jamal Adams and first-round linebacker Jordan Brooks, who started his first NFL, left the game and did not return to action.
Argu Dums, arguably Seattle’s best defender, had an issue in his groin and appeared to be pulling himself out of the game. Going forward his position is unclear.
Carol said, “Jamal Dams has lost his groin. “I do not know what is going to happen. It’s too tight. “
Brooks’ point was his knee. Leaving those 3 weeks proved to be a common theme for the Seahawks.
“Jordan Brooks had a knee sprain earlier in the game. The guys turned on him, ”Carroll said.
Offensive line
Only one starter on the offensive line, the right facing Brandon Shell, appears 100%. Carroll did not discuss left-hander Dwayne Brown, who is often limited or given a day off in practice for experienced rest and to help his knee, but three other starts were made against the Cowboys, although only one man could leave the game. Was. T back.
“Damien Lewis has ankle sprains,” Carroll said. “The X-rays were negative … I think it was a side ankle sprain (called).”
Left-back Mike Eupati was left with a “knee condition” but returned and finished the game. Center Ethan Posick has an injury that people watching the game have noticed potentially.
“Posick had a knee problem that he finished the game with,” Carroll said. “I don’t know how he did it, but he did.”
Carson was injured again
Chris Carson, running for the fourth year in a row, has never played a full 16-game season and looks set to be in danger of being the case again in 2020.
Carol said, “Chris got on his knees at the end of a game. “I don’t know about that, but it’s somewhat twisted.”
Carson has not been called a true “Bell Guy” this season as he did in the last two years where he ran more than 1,000 yards, but he has been a major part of the offense, catching three touchdowns in the first two games and carrying 64 yards on 14th Sunday. . If he’s out, Carlos Hyde will likely carry the load while second-year Travis Homer and colorful DJ fill Dallas.
Rashad Penny, the first round pick of 2018, is physically unable to perform after his ACL last season burst during Week 14. Because he’s on the pup, that means he’s out for at least the first six weeks of the year, and then the Seahawks will have five weeks to practice. Once Penny starts practice, Seattle has three weeks to add him to the active roster. If he is not added to the roster, he will not be eligible to play in 2020.
Note of other injuries
As mentioned, the NFL. And the Seahawks are taking a hard hit with injuries to start 2020 and Carroll said the team is well aware of the issues people are taking.
“It simply came to our notice then. This is a big burden for them at the moment. This is a big burden to play football games, ”he said. “… it looks like it’s really a challenge for players to make in these first few weeks of this season.”
If players are placed on the injured reserve for at least three weeks, it will open spots on the roster. Carroll said general manager John Snyder “works day and night to stay ahead of it.”
