The Seahawks seem to be losing players for several games far too early in the season. For comparison, the Denver Broncos have no one listed on their injury report for Sunday’s game. Seattle, though, has lost two players to IR at right cornerback alone.
First, Byron Maxwell was presumed to be the starter after Richard Sherman was released prior to the NFL Draft. Then Maxwell got hurt and was placed on IR. He has since worked out a buyout and is a free agent.
Second, Johnson, based on his previous NFL experience with the San Francisco 49ers, was going to start week one but then he had a groin issue.
