Seahawks promote Chad Wheeler from practice squad

The NFL season got underway Thursday evening when the Kansas City Chiefs defeated the Houston Texans, and on Sunday the Seattle Seahawks will start their 2020 season when they face the Atlanta Falcons in a Week 1 showdown.

For the Seahawks, injury concerns at this point have been mostly minor bumps and bruises, but between injuries and illnesses, the tackle position could be a challenge for the Hawks on Sunday. Duane Brown, who had knee surgery late in the 2019 season, is set to be one of the oldest starting offensive lineman in the NFL yet again this season and had his workload managed by the team during training camp to keep him fresh.
