Field Gulls
The Seattle Seahawks have released their first injury report for their Week 1 opener against the San Francisco 49ers, and there’s more good news than bad.
Second-year linebacker Tyrice Knight, who missed the back-half of training camp and preseason with an unspecified medical issue and a knee injury, was not event listed on the injury report. Barring something unexpected, Knight is on course to start alongside Ernest Jones IV for the season opener.
Rookie wide receiver Tory Horton, one of the camp and preseason standouts, also practiced fully after dealing with an ankle injury suffered against the Kansas City Chiefs. That he’s a full participant on Wednesday is a strong indicator that he’ll be all systems go on Sunday.
Wide receiver Jake Bobo was seen in warmups fielding punts on Monday, but full practice participation is still not there yet after his scary collision in the preseason finale against the Green Bay Packers. He was listed as limited, as were Dareke Young and Cody White with shoulder and hamstring injuries, respectively. The bottom-end of the receiver depth chart will need close monitoring for the rest of the week.
Lastly, veteran outside linebacker Uchenna Nwosu was also a limited participant. He’s easing his way back into game shape after offseason knee surgery, which caused him to start training camp on the PUP list. Mike Macdonald has not put a timetable on when Nwosu will make his regular season debut, which is perhaps in part why undrafted rookie Connor O’Toole is on the 53-man roster.
Here’s the full injury report, which has a lot of 49ers listed but mostly as full participants.
All things considered, a very light injury report for Seattle and zero DNPs. The Seahawks will practice on Thursday and have their game designations following Friday’s practice.
