Seahawks star was injured against the Titans and will miss the rest of the season

Wednesday Injury Report

The Seahawks held a walkthrough on Wednesday afternoon and released an injury report that estimated player participation had there been a full practice. Six players were listed as non-participants including four key defensive backs. Safeties Jamal Adams, Quandre Diggs, and Julian Love along with cornerback Devon Witherspoon did not participate on Wednesday. Love was held out for personal reasons as he and his wife are expecting a baby this week while Diggs was held for rest.

Both Witherspoon and Adams missed the Week 15 Monday Night Football win over the Eagles due to injuries and were unable to participate on Wednesday. “We’re going to take it one day at a time, we don’t know yet,” Carroll said. “He’s much better, he’s moving around better just getting around the building, but don’t know what’s going to happen during the week with him, so we’ll just have to take it one day at a time,” said head coach Pete Carroll when asked about the rookie cornerback.

As for Adams, he is still dealing with a knee injury but is working relentlessly to get back on the field. “He’s still in recovery mode,” coach Carroll said. “He’s been in recovery mode for months. But he just continues to do everything he can possibly do to try to get right and get back, and we’ve just seen that the rigors of the season, it has just been taxing and all. Every day is a day that we have to reevaluate and see if we can get him to the next day and all. He couldn’t do more than he’s done, he’s been ferocious about the attack on this, and then there are times when we need to quiet him and try to get him active and try to get him right and all that. So we’re still in that mode right now.”

Running back Kenneth Walker III is coming off of a big game against Philadelphia but is dealing with a shoulder issue that prevented him from getting work in on Wednesday. Wide receiver Dee Eskridge is still suffering from the ribs injury that has forced him to miss the last three game and was held out on Wednesday.

In good news, Geno Smith was a full participant on Wednesday as he is trying to make it back in time for Sunday. Smith has missed the past two games with a groin injury but is close to returning. “Geno will come back to practice, he’s going to practice today and go full go, and we’ll see how that works,” said coach Carroll. “That’s exciting for us.”

The Tennessee Titans are dealing with a litany of injuries as they have 17 players on the injury report. Rookie quarterback Will Levis did not participate in Wednesday’s practice due to an ankle injury he suffered last week against the Houston Texans. The rookie QB took over for Ryan Tannehill in Week 8 and has started every game since. Tannehill will take over for Levis if the rookie is unable to play on Sunday.
