Bradford will not be eligible to return to the field until Week 7 against the Kansas City Chiefs on Oct. 25.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1upudxki _174s0un1 _174s0un0 _1mt21p01\">Seahawks head coach Mike Macdonald did reiterate that Bradford\u2019s injuries are not season-ending, so he\u2019ll be IR-designated for return. As far as a timetable, he believes it will be on the \u201cshorter side\u201d as opposed to long-term. In other words, closer to the four-week minimum than anything that keeps him out potentially until December, for example.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1upudxki _174s0un1 _174s0un0 _1mt21p01\">Christian Haynes and fifth-round rookie Beau Stephens split snaps in Bradford\u2019s absence, with Haynes getting 43 snaps to Stephens\u2019 27. We\u2019ll see if the rotation continues while Bradford is out, or if Haynes will finally be entrusted to start and play an entire game for the first time in his career. It\u2019s a big opportunity for Haynes given the tough start to his career.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The Seattle Seahawks will be without their starting right guard for at least the next four games.
