The Seattle Seahawks’ top 2023 draft pick will miss some time with yet another hamstring injury.
Pete Carroll told reporters on Wednesday that rookie cornerback Devon Witherspoon, who has missed the last three practices, won’t play in Thursday’s preseason opener against the Minnesota Vikings. It’s the same leg Witherspoon had a hamstring injury earlier this year, which caused him to miss part of rookie minicamp.
The good news is that it appears to be minor and since we’re in preseason, it’s a “better safe than sorry” approach that shouldn’t jeopardize Witherspoon’s availability for the start of the regular season.
