Seattle Seahawks head coach Mike Macdonald has made clear that the team will not play their starters in preseason Week 1 versus the Las Vegas Raiders. This makes sense and has become routine. There is no reason to risk key players being injured in a meaningless game.
Former Seahawks head coach (and new Raiders head guy) Pete Carroll is taking a different approach. Carroll said that "everyone will be available" to play some when Las Vegas travels to Lumen Field to take on Seattle. Perhaps, this is part of the coach's "always compete" mantra, but it's a risk.
