The NFL season has turned the page to Week 2. Already, narratives are starting to form, and certainly, the Pittsburgh Steelers are among the teams hoping to continue to ride their momentum from Week 1. They’ll be doing that against the Seattle Seahawks, who are trying to bounce back from an opening loss in their own right.
Going into the game, Seattle was expecting to be thin in the secondary against Pittsburgh. In the week leading up to the game, Pro Bowl cornerback Devon Witherspoon was listed as doubtful due to a knee injury. Then, rookie safety Nick Emmanwori was reported as out with his high ankle sprain, while safety Julian Love has been dealing with a groin issue. That comes as the Seahawks are ready to take on quarterback Aaron Rodgers and former Seahawks wide receiver DK Metcalf.
There are going to be plenty of eyes on the Seahawks and Steelers game this Sunday. Ahead of that game, here’s a list of players who have been named inactive for both teams.
CB: Joey Porter Jr.
G: Andrus Peat
DE: Esezi Otomewo
DT: Derrick Harmon
Seahawks:
QB: Jalen Milroe
LB: Jared Ivey
LB: Connor O’Toole
T/G: Mason Richman
TE: Nick Kallerup
Those injury issues in the Seattle secondary are already starting to add up. That could end up being a concern for the Seahawks both against the Steelers and moving forward this season. Of course, that’s not the only position where the Seahawks are banged up.
