Last Monday Night Football, the Seattle Seahawks were on the road and lost 42-29 to the Detroit Lions. There was one big glaring issue that night, the Seahawks were missing essentially 7 out of their 11 starts on defense..
Every team is is miss 50%+ of their starting unit on one side of the ball is going to have an extreme struggle that day. It happened to the Seahawks, it was rough, but this week things are a lot different.
The Seahawks only have TWO players OUT on Sunday against the New York Giants:
- Byron Murphy II
- Cameron Young
They also have TWO players who are QUESTIONABLE but likely to play:
- Jerome Baker
- Julian Love
It feels good to say the Seahawks are looking like they will have their complete unit back on both sides of the ball.
Feeling good about the injury report change A LOT from last week for the Seahawks.

On top of that good news, we also have Uchenna Nwosu coming off the IR and playing in his first game this season. The Seahawks defense is set to have a big day, especially with the Giants best playmaker, WR Malik Nabers, being OUT.
The Seahawks are playing a Giants defense that already has a lot of issues...
New York Giants rank 30th in completion percentage against (72.6%) and Geno Smith ranks 2nd in the NFL in completion percentage (72.3%).
The New York Giants’ injury report: WR Malik Nabers is OUT and RB Devin Singletary is DOUBTFUL for Sunday in Seattle. pic.twitter.com/3iJcjdA4M4

Still, it might get worse for the Giants as you can see above, there are SO many injuries they are dealing with.
