Seahawks Await Geno Smith's Status After Knee Injury in Loss to Packers

Coach Mike Macdonald remains optimistic about Smith's return for next week's game against the Vikings, with tests showing no major structural damage.

Quarterback Geno Smith injured his right knee during the Seahawks' 30-13 loss to the Green Bay Packers, leaving the game in the third quarter.
Initial tests, including X-rays, indicate no major structural damage, and Coach Mike Macdonald expressed optimism about Smith's potential return next week.
Backup quarterback Sam Howell struggled in relief, completing just 5 of 14 passes for 24 yards, one interception, and a passer rating of 14.6.
Smith's performance this season has been critical to the Seahawks' success, ranking third in the NFL in passing yards with 3,623 and contributing to key victories.
The Seahawks, now tied with the Rams at 8-6 in the NFC West, face a challenging matchup against the 11-2 Vikings next week, with playoff implications on the line.
