  • Coach Jonathan Gannon confirmed Jacoby Brissett will start at Seattle for a fourth straight game and said he would make the same choice even if Murray were healthy.
  • Doctors advised a 4–8 week recovery window for Murray’s mid-foot injury with increased setback risk if rushed, according to ESPN reporting.
