Seahawks bench Riq Woolen for Eagles game in surprise move

Pete Carroll hinted at a potential shake-up in the Seattle Seahawks defense, and it appears that’s what we’re getting.

With Jamal Adams and Devon Witherspoon out due to injury, the Seahawks were already forced to shuffle the secondary lineup for Monday’s game against the Philadelphia Eagles. The voluntary move for this evening is apparently to bench 2022 Defensive Rookie of the Year finalist Riq Woolen for Mike Jackson Sr.

Starting secondary in warmups is Love and Diggs at safety and Brown and Jackson at cornerback.

Jackson and Tre Brown got the start, with Artie Burns in nickel.
