4 Players Out, Wide Receiver Position Severely Impacted
The Seattle Seahawks face significant challenges ahead of their game against the Arizona Cardinals, having ruled out four players due to injuries. This situation has heavily impacted the wide receiver position, amplifying concerns for the team.
Injuries Impacting the Seahawks’ Roster
Wide receivers Jake Bobo and Dareke Young, along with cornerback Josh Jobe and guard Christian Haynes, have been officially ruled out for Sunday’s match. Additionally, wide receiver Tory Horton and linebacker Ernest Jones IV are considered doubtful as the game approaches.
Details of the Injuries
- Jake Bobo: Calf injury
- Dareke Young: Quadriceps injury
- Tory Horton: Groin and shin injuries
- Josh Jobe: Concussion
- Ernest Jones IV: Knee injury
- Cooper Kupp: Questionable due to hamstring and heel issues
Horton, a rookie out of Colorado State, has recorded 161 yards and five touchdowns this season. He was initially listed as a full participant in practice earlier in the week but encountered setbacks that led to his limited participation later.
Cooper Kupp is a critical player for the Seahawks’ receiving corps. After missing the previous game, he was a full participant in practice on Friday. However, the absence of Bobo and Young puts additional pressure on him going into the game.

The Seahawks, with a record of 6-2, will host the 3-5 Cardinals at Lumen Field. The game is set for 1:05 p.m. on Sunday. Radio coverage on Seattle Sports will start at 10 a.m. with a pregame show.
