Overview
- Head coach Mike Macdonald said Sundell will miss multiple weeks with a knee injury and called injured reserve “under consideration,” adding it is not viewed as season-ending as of Monday.
- Reports conflict on whether surgery is needed, with ESPN attributing to Macdonald that it will be required and local outlets quoting him saying it will not.
- Olu Oluwatimi steps in at center after replacing Sundell against Arizona, when Seattle finished with 198 rushing yards despite an early snap infraction and a botched exchange.
- Placement on IR would sideline Sundell for at least four games under league rules and could facilitate activating Christian Haynes or elevating other interior-line depth.
- Seattle travels to the Rams in Week 11 with first place in the NFC West at stake, as the club also manages DT Jarran Reed’s status following a second wrist surgery and IR move.
