Just when it looked like the Seattle Seahawks secondary would be whole again, there\u2019s been another bump in the road.<\/p>\n
On Wednesday, Seattle Seahawks<\/a> head coach Mike Macdonald announced that the team was considering placing free safety Julian Love on injured reserve. Love has been inactive for the last several weeks due to a hamstring injury, having last appeared in the Seahawks\u2019 23-20 victory over the Arizona Cardinals<\/a> back in Week 4.<\/p>\n The 27-year-old suffered a setback with his hamstring and was unable to appear in Wednesday\u2019s practice as a result. Macdonald has said that Seattle may be moving Love to IR ahead of the team\u2019s Sunday Night Football matchup vs. the Washington Commanders<\/a> in Week 9.<\/p>\n With Love\u2019s condition getting worse, the Seahawks\u2019 secondary will likely mean Ty Okada gets more playing time, having come off his best game of the season against the Houston Texans. Okada has started in every game Love has missed. In addition, wide receiver and kick returner Dareke Young may also be heading to IR, as reported by Curtis Crabtree of FOX 13 Seattle<\/a>. On the plus side, Devon Witherspoon is scheduled to practice, as is pass rusher Derick Hall.<\/p>\n Prior to his hamstring injury, Love had 18 tackles (including one tackle for loss), two passes defended, and one sack over three appearances. Love had previously appeared in all 17 of Seattle\u2019s games in each of the past two years, recording over 100 tackles in both seasons and being named to the reserves for the NFC\u2019s Pro Bowl roster in 2023.<\/p>\n More information on Love\u2019s condition will be provided later this week following the release of the latest injury report.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Just when it looked like the Seattle Seahawks secondary would be whole again, there\u2019s been another bump in…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":260472,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[63],"tags":[349,46267,17166,99],"class_list":["post-260471","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-nfl","tag-nfl","tag-seattle-seahawks-injuries","tag-seattle-seahawks-news","tag-sports"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/260471","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=260471"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/260471\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/260472"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=260471"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=260471"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=260471"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
