Seahawks Injury Report: Lucas Sits Out, Key Defender Missing Again
The Seattle Seahawks’ injury report was lighter on Thursday, but there were notable updates concerning two players ahead of Sunday’s matchup against the Arizona Cardinals.
Right tackle Abraham Lucas (knee) was a full participant in Wednesday’s practice but was held out on Thursday. His absence appears to be rest-related. Lucas returned to action last Sunday against the San Francisco 49ers after undergoing offseason knee surgery, which limited him to just six games in 2023. Rookie Michael Jerrell rotated in for Lucas during the second series of each half.
Offensive coordinator Ryan Grubb shared his confidence in Lucas’ readiness, stating, “We’re gonna let him go out there and see what he can do.”
Defensive end Leonard Williams (foot) missed practice for the second consecutive day. He had also been held out on Wednesday, after being a limited participant on Thursday last week due to the foot injury. Williams played in last week’s game against San Francisco without any designation after missing the Week 4 matchup against the Detroit Lions due to a rib injury. Williams has 25 tackles, including 13 solo, four tackles for loss, and 2.5 sacks in nine games this season.
Tight end Brady Russell (foot) and wide receiver Laviska Shenault Jr. (back) were also absent from practice for a second straight day. Russell missed the 49ers game due to his foot injury, while Shenault sustained his injury during the game and did not return.
There was some positive news regarding a couple of players. Tight end Noah Fant (groin) and return specialist Dee Williams (ankle), who did not practice Wednesday, were limited on Thursday. Fant has missed the past two games with a groin issue and has 27 receptions for 285 yards this season. Williams left Sunday’s game with an ankle injury and was carted off to the locker room, not returning to the field.
Safety Rayshawn Jenkins (hand) was a full participant for the second consecutive day. He was placed on injured reserve on October 16 due to a hand injury but was designated to return to practice on Wednesday.
Defensive tackles Jarran Reed and Johnathan Hankins, wide receiver Tyler Lockett, and guard Laken Tomlinson were full participants after sitting out Wednesday for rest.
