The Seahawks were without two of their top receivers at practice on the eve of Thanksgiving.
The Seattle Seahawks were without two of the top three receivers at their first practice for Week 13’s road game against the New York Jets.
DK Metcalf, who’d previously missed two games with a minor MCL sprain, was listed as a “Did Not Participate” with a shoulder injury. His final catch of Sunday’s win over the Arizona Cardinals saw him absorb a sizeable hit as he held on for a critical third-down conversion, but it’s unknown when the injury occurred.
Tyler Lockett was listed with a knee injury, and unlike in recent weeks there is no veteran’s rest designation. Lockett has yet to miss a game this year and has seldom missed any time in his decorated Seahawks career.
After a phenomenal display against Arizona, Leonard Williams was a DNP with a foot injury, which also kept him out of two practices last week. Defensive tackle Jarran Reed had a rest day, while newly acquired safety AJ Finley was a DNP with an ankle injury.
Tight end Brady Russell was a limited participant after missing the last two games with a foot injury. Uchenna Nwosu has been designated for return to practice, giving the Seahawks pass rusher an opportunity to ramp up before coming off IR. Left guard Laken Tomlinson had a lightened workload but otherwise it was a resting day for him.
Signs point toward tight end Noah Fant and kick returner Laviska Shenault Jr coming back from their respective injuries. Fant has been out for three straight games with a groin injury, while Shenault hurt his back against the San Francisco 49ers. Right tackle Stone Forsythe was also a full participant after four games on IR with an injured hand.
Here’s the full injury report:
Presumably there will be something of a walkthrough for Thanksgiving, followed by a normal practice on Friday.
