The Seattle Seahawks are relatively healthy going into their Week 13 showdown against the New York Jets. On Friday’s injury report, no players were listed as OUT or DOUBTFUL, with only two players designated as QUESTIONABLE – with one of them (tight end Brady Russell) a full participant at practice.
While the team had a pretty clean injury report, there was a slight amendment to the list. The Seahawks officially ruled OUT linebacker Uchenna Nwosu and right tackle Stone Forsythe. Both players officially returned to practice after stints on the injured reserve list. Nwosu not playing on Sunday is hardly a surprise, he was not expected to return immediately. Nwosu is an elite pass rusher when healthy, but sadly his body has not been kind to him these last two years with injuries. Hopefully, he can return for a late season playoff push.
As for Stone Forsythe, it will be good to get him back onto the active 53-man roster to help give depth to the right tackle position. Abe Lucas in his return has looked solid, but as the Seahawks have learned the last two seasons, there is no such thing as too much depth at right tackle.
