Seahawks Secondary Status Uncertain as Witherspoon, Love Sit Out Wednesday
Practice absences leave Seattle's defensive plan unsettled before the trip to Jacksonville.
Overview
- After favorable imaging and a midweek practice target, Pro Bowl corner Devon Witherspoon (knee) did not participate Wednesday.
- Safety Julian Love (hamstring) was also a non-participant, with Derick Hall, Ernest Jones IV, DeMarcus Lawrence and Josh Jones listed out on the report; Jarran Reed was off for rest.
- Corner Tariq Woolen (concussion) and safety Nick Emmanwori (ankle) were limited, keeping more secondary roles in question.
- Seattle is working on tackling after allowing 204 yards after the catch and 7-of-11 third-down conversions in a 38-35 loss to Tampa Bay, where Baker Mayfield threw for 379 yards.
- The Seahawks visit the 4-1 Jaguars in Week 6, and late-week injury reports are expected to clarify availability and inform the defensive approach.
