Week 13 Injury Report: Seahawks at Jets

The Seahawks held their first practice of the week Wednesday afternoon and were missing five players, four due to injury and one due to a layoff. Two of the team’s three leading receivers, DK Metcalf And Tyler Lockettwas out on Wednesday due to a shoulder and knee injury. Both players were able to play their part in the win over the Cardinals last week.

Defensive player Leonard Williamswho was coming off what he believes was his best game as a Seahawk last week, was unable to practice because of a foot injury that has put him on the injury report for the past few weeks. Despite the foot injury, Williams has played in every game this season. Nasal device Jarran Reed was the only Seahawk to take the day off to rest. Security AJ Finleywho was claimed off waivers on Tuesday, did not participate in practice on Wednesday due to an ankle injury.

Two players who had spent the last few weeks on injured reserve Uchenna Nwosu And Stone Forsythewere due to return to training this week and both players were able to take part to some extent. Due to knee and hamstring injuries, Nwosu has only played one game this season but is making progress towards returning to action. “This is a ramp section. Today it will be limited and we will go from there,” head coach Mike Macdonald said before practice on Wednesday. While Nwosu was limited, Forsythe returned to training as a full participant after being placed on injured reserve last month with a hand injury. Tight end Brady Russell returned to training as a limited participant after missing the last two games with a foot injury.

The Jets were missing four players for Wednesday’s practice as two players battled injuries, one due to an illness and the other for personal reasons. Running back Breece Hall (knee) and left tackle Tyron Smith (neck) were the two players sidelined with injuries. Three players were listed as full participants, including former Seahawks cornerback DJ Reed, who is dealing with a back injury.
