The 2016 Seattle Seahawks season was largely defined by injuries to several of its key players. Russell Wilson’s health was compromised on opening day, then again two weeks later, and it was a major reason for the team’s offensive struggles throughout the season. Richard Sherman played through an MCL injury, and like Wilson, he never missed a game. C.J. Prosise, Earl Thomas, and Tyler Lockett all went down with serious injuries in the home stretch of the regular season, while Thomas Rawls missed several weeks due to a fractured fibula.
