Seahawks vs. Jaguars Week 6: Inactive Players Announced
In a crucial Week 6 matchup, the Seattle Seahawks will face off against the Jacksonville Jaguars without several key players due to injuries. The absence of these players could significantly impact the game.
Seahawks’ Key Defensive Players Inactive
The Seahawks will miss three Pro-Bowl defensive backs. Safety Julian Love and cornerback Devon Witherspoon are both inactive after being listed as doubtful on Friday. Additionally, cornerback Riq Woolen has been ruled out following a concussion he sustained in last week’s game.
Player Changes
Due to these injuries, the Seahawks have promoted cornerback Shaquill Griffin and safety Jerrick Reed II from their practice squad. Both players will be active for Sunday’s game against the Jaguars. Furthermore, outside linebacker Derick Hall and reserve tackle Josh Jones will also sit out due to injury.
- Inactive Players:
- Julian Love (Safety)
- Devon Witherspoon (Cornerback)
- Riq Woolen (Cornerback)
- Derick Hall (Outside Linebacker)
- Josh Jones (Reserve Tackle)
- Elevated Players:
- Shaquill Griffin (Cornerback)
- Jerrick Reed II (Safety)
Seahawks’ Rookies Stepping Up
The absence of Hall allows rookies Jared Ivey and Connor O’Toole to make their active debut this season. Ivey participated in Week 3, while O’Toole was active during last week’s game. The Seahawks will also welcome back outside linebacker DeMarcus Lawrence after he missed the previous game due to a quadriceps issue.
Jaguars’ Status Ahead of the Game
On the other hand, the Jaguars enter the matchup with a mostly healthy roster. However, they will be without starting center Robert Hainsey, who is inactive due to a hamstring injury.
Game Implications
The injuries faced by the Seahawks may provide the Jaguars with an advantage. Seattle’s adjustments in their lineup will be critical as they aim to secure a victory on the road.
