Costly injuries to Seahawks defensive line could impact prime-time game against Lions
The Seattle Seahawks are off to a strong start with a 3-0 record, largely thanks to a reworked defense under first-year head coach Mike McDonald. However, two key defensive players, Leonard Williams and Byron Murphy II, suffered injuries in Week 3. Both players’ availability for the upcoming game against the Detroit Lions is uncertain. Seattle’s defense has shown a weakness against running plays, and facing the Lions’ strong rushing offense could be a challenge. Without a strong pass rush from Williams and Murphy II, the Seahawks’ defense may struggle to contain Lions quarterback Jared Goff and their receiving targets. Linebackers Boye Mafe and Tyrel Dodson have been standout performers, but their success relies on gaps opened by Williams and Murphy II’s pass rush threats. If these key players are unable to play, Seattle’s defense could be in trouble.
