Seattle Seahawks Exclude Jarran Reed from Arizona Cardinals Matchup
Injuries have struck the Seattle Seahawks as they prepare for their Week 10 matchup against the Arizona Cardinals. Veteran defensive tackle Jarran Reed has been ruled out due to wrist and thumb injuries, according to Adam Schefter from ESPN.
Jarran Reed’s Injury Impact
This unexpected twist comes after Reed fully practiced throughout the week without any injury designation. His absence marks the first game missed since he was sidelined in 2023, when a knee injury kept him out against the Cardinals in Week 18.
During the current season, Reed has been a crucial player on the Seahawks’ defense, contributing 1.5 sacks and six quarterback hits over eight games in 2025. His experience and skills will certainly be missed.
Next Steps for the Seahawks
With Reed unavailable, the Seahawks will turn to defensive players who can fill the void. Key players stepping up include:
- Byron Murphy II: A promising first-round pick from 2024, Murphy is having a breakout season.
- Mike Morris: A long-time rotational player, Morris has been named captain for the upcoming game, indicating the staff’s confidence in his abilities.
Further complicating the Seahawks’ defensive lineup, breakout cornerback Josh Jobe will also miss the game due to a concussion. Starting linebacker Ernest Jones is listed as doubtful with a knee injury sustained in the previous week against the Washington Commanders.
Looking Ahead
The absence of Jarran Reed, combined with the potential losses of Jobe and Jones, poses significant challenges for the Seahawks. They will need strong performances from the remaining defense to maintain their competitive edge against the Cardinals.
