Jordan Morris Might Finally Be Back: Here's What This Means for the Sounders Against Minnesota
Hold up. After missing the entire season so far with a quad injury, Jordan Morris just traveled with the team to Minnesota and could actually play Sunday. This is huge. The Sounders designated player went down hard in the seventh minute of that 2-0 win against Colorado back at Lumen Field on the season opener, and we've been without him ever since.
What Happened to Morris
Here's the thing: Morris might have irritated the quad during warmups before the Colorado match, but he still took the field. Didn't last long though. He went down in the seventh minute and had to walk off unassisted. Since then, radio silence. That's been weighing on the Sounders' attack for weeks now.
The Road Match Against Minnesota
Coach Brian Schmetzer is being cautious but optimistic here. Morris joined the squad for the trip to face Minnesota United, which signals the team is ready to get him back into action. Having a weapon like Morris available could be exactly what Seattle needs on the road. The Sounders have been grinding without him, but getting their designated player back in the lineup changes the dynamic.
Sunday's match against Minnesota is still up in the air on whether Morris plays, but the fact that he's made the trip and trained with the team is a massive step forward. This isn't just about one player coming back from injury. It's about the Sounders finally getting healthy and adding firepower when they need it most.
Keep your eyes on the Sounders' lineup sheet when Sunday rolls around. If Morris gets the green light, it could be the spark Seattle's been waiting for.
