What the Seahawks' injury report says Wednesday before the Cardinals game

As the Seattle Seahawks continue to prepare for their game against the Arizona Cardinals, rivals of Week 4, the injury report released Wednesday by the team was not as reassuring as it could have been. In particular, for a team that has struggled to generate a hasty pass and slow down that of its opponent, it is worrying to see one of the most productive defensive lineman and his superior offensive lineman does not not exercising because of an injury.

Obviously, Duane Brown and Quinton Jefferson who do not practice might be more cautious than anything else, but that certainly deserves a raised eyebrow or two. Note that while Pete Carroll downplayed the severity of Brown's injury, the fact that it prevented him from playing in the stretch in the defeat against the New Orleans Saints in the third week is far to be reassuring. Thus, even if there is no doubt that Brown will play as long as he can, he should play effectively with one arm, which could prove to be a problem against Chandler Jones and Terrell Suggs. . Jones and Suggs have already combined five sacks in the first three games of the season, and it's not hard to imagine Cardinals defensemen giving the pass to the Seahawks' offensive line. If Brown is not able to play Sunday, George Fant seems to be in sight, after being inserted in the left tackle against the Saints after Brown's injury.

Carroll also expects running back Rashaad Penny to return to practice on Thursday, which could create an interesting situation for the half-guard position. Specifically, while CJ Prosise had a fairly injury-prone reputation since being selected in the third round of the 2016 NFL Draft, Penny and Travis Homer appeared on the injury report, while Chris Carson battled fumbling issues. .

In any case, we will know more when the team releases the Thursday injury report.
