From all reports, it seems very likely that linebacker Mychal Kendricks will be on the sidelines for the Seahawks big matchup versus the Rams. Kendricks had not practiced all week, nursing a hamstring injury. If that’s the case, rookie Cody Barton will get his first NFL start and a good look at the Hawks future.
If you hit that link above, you’ll notice he hasn’t done too much that shows up on the stat line. Considering he’s only played 18 snaps on defense, that’s understandable. But that doesn’t mean he hasn’t had an impact on the team.
