The start to the 2021 season for the Seattle Seahawks has been rough. In addition to getting off to a 2-4 start for just the third time in the Pete Carroll era and the second time since drafting Russell Wilson, the team has battled injuries to several key players.
In addition to Wilson missing his first start since joining the team in Week 6, the Hawks have also seen Chris Carson, Brandon Shell, Dee Eskridge, Tre Brown, Benson Mayowa and Bryan Mone miss games due to injury. Then, Sunday against the Pittsburgh Steelers one time third string running back Alex Collins suffered a hip injury that led to him missing time while DeeJay Dallas filled in, which leads to an interesting situation on for the Week 7 matchup against the New Orleans Saints, and a potential opportunity for 2018 first round running back Rashaad Penny to enter the history books.
