Did I say the Seahawks are banged up? To say they’re is banged up is like saying Percy Harvin wasn’t the best fit in Seattle. It’s true, but it’s a bit of an understatement. The injury report for this week doesn’t begin to tell the story. The Seahawks have three offensive line starters on injured reserve. It’s much worse on defense, as Cliff Avril, Kam Chancellor and Richard Sherman are out as well.
This doesn’t even include players that were projected to be key role players. Guys like Malik McDowell, Dewey McDonald, C.J. Prosise and Tre Madden were all expected to impact the Seahawks success this season.
