Injury Update for Seahawks Heading into Week 11
The Seattle Seahawks entered their preparation for the upcoming Week 11 game against the Los Angeles Rams on November 16, with a mix of good news and concerns regarding their injured players. In an ACT practice focused on alignment, communication, and technique, coach Mike Macdonald provided updates on key injured players.
During Wednesday’s practice, several Seahawks were listed as limited due to injuries from the previous game against Arizona. Linebacker Ernest Jones IV, receiver Tory Horton, and cornerback Josh Jobe all participated in limited capacity.
While their status for Sunday’s game is not yet determined, coach Macdonald expressed optimism about their progress.
“We’re still going to work through those guys right now,” said Macdonald. “It’s looking positive, we’re optimistic. They’ll be working in some capacity today, but it’s going to vary between a true walkthrough and ACT practice, which is kicked up a little bit.”
Receiving Good News from Jake Bobo
In a positive development, wide receiver Jake Bobo, who missed the previous game with a calf injury, was listed as full participation in Wednesday’s practice. This suggests that he is making progress and could be ready for action against the Rams.
Center Jalen Sundell’s Absence
The Seahawks also faced some challenges this week. Center Jalen Sundell, who is already dealing with a knee injury, did not participate in practice due to his condition. Sundell is expected to miss multiple games and will likely play only if he is activated from injured reserve ahead of the Sunday game.
“Haynes can continue practicing into next week without being added to the 53-man roster, but has to be added to the roster in order to play,” said Macdonald. This indicates that Christian Haynes, who is returning from injured reserve, may see an opportunity to contribute this weekend.
Limited Participation and Rams’ Injuries
The Seahawks are not alone in facing injury challenges. The Los Angeles Rams also had players who did not participate or were limited due to injuries. Starting receiver Davante Adams was held out with an oblique injury, but coach Sean McVay remains optimistic about his availability for the game.
“Davante Adams did not practice,” said Rams head coach Sean McVay. “But we expect him to be ready for Sunday’s game.” Other Rams players who were limited included defensive tackle Kobie Turner, and wide receiver Jordan Whittington.
Preparation for the 2025 Season Opener
The Seahawks and Rams face off on November 16, with kickoff set for 1:05 p.m. PT at SoFi Stadium in Inglewood, California. This matchup marks their first meeting of the 2025 season, following a long history between these teams.
Fans can look back through years of memorable games and moments that have shaped this rivalry.
Both teams will be eager to secure an early victory as they navigate their respective seasons. With multiple injured players on both sides, the outcome could hinge on which team manages its depth better and makes fewer mistakes during crucial moments.
