Hamstring Setback Puts Seahawks Safety Julian Love's Week 9 Status in Jeopardy

Coach Mike Macdonald says an IR move is on the table after Love missed practice.

Overview

  • Macdonald said the setback occurred last week and interrupted plans for a post-bye return.
  • Love first injured the hamstring in September, has missed four games, and has 18 tackles, two pass breakups and one sack in three appearances.
  • If Love is out, rookies Ty Okada and Nick Emmanwori are expected to take on larger roles at safety.
  • Cornerback Devon Witherspoon (knee) and outside linebacker Derick Hall (oblique) are set to practice this week as they trend toward returning.
  • Wide receiver Dareke Young (hip) will not practice and could be considered for IR, and Seattle enters Week 9 at 5-2 tied with the Rams before visiting Washington on Sunday night.
