DEC 3 PICKETT MAY MISS SEAHAWKS TILT The Seattle Seahawks may face another backup quarterback as the season winds down.
Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback Kenny Pickett suffered an ankle injury on Sunday in a loss to the Arizona Cardinals, and he’s expected to miss 2-4 weeks, according to Pittsburgh Post-Gazette reporter Gerry Dulac.
The Steelers visit the Seahawks on Dec. 31, which is four weeks from the day of the injury. Given the playoff urgency, Pickett may look to return sooner, but it’s certainly a storyline to keep an eye on.
NOV 30 ZACH CHARBONNET INJURED Seattle Seahawks rookie running back Zach Charbonnet had to exit in the fourth quarter of Thursday night’s meeting with the Dallas Cowboys.
The Seahawks have officially listed him as doubtful to return due to a knee injury, as he reportedly was taken back to the locker room. He was making his second-career start in place of the injured Kenneth Walker.
Charbonnet went into the blue medical tent on the sideline after getting stopped short on a 4th and 1 with 7:04 left in the game.
Upon Charbonnet’s exit to the sidelines, he had 19 carries for 60 yards and a touchdown to go along with one catch for 39 yards. The Cowboys lead 38-35 in the fourth quarter.
NovOV 30 SEAHAWKS ROSTER MOVES The Seattle Seahawks announced Thursday that they have activated offensive tackle Abraham Lucas from injured reserve and placed offensive guard Phil Haynes on IR ahead of tonight’s matchup with the Dallas Cowboys at AT&T Stadium.
The Seahawks also elevated receiver Cody Thompson from the practice squad.
“He’s back to where we’re counting on him to be able to help and contribute,” Seahawks coach Pete Carroll said of Lucas Tuesday. “… Abe had a good week. Everything’s kind of on schedule as we planned it out quite some time ago aiming for this week. He did his part.”
NOV. 27 SEAHAWKS GET DEFENSIVE HELP IN 2024 DRAFT? – In the midst of a rougher patch that will likely get rougher in the near future, is it too soon for Seahawks fans to start peering into 2024?
Not only has 6-5 Seattle lost three of four – including a demoralizing home loss to the 49ers on Thanksgiving – but their next three games are against the best teams in the NFC in the 8-3 Cowboys, 8-3 Niners and 10-1 Eagles. Yikes, indeed.
