The Seahawks open up the 2022 NFL season on Monday Night Football this week with an old AFC West rivalry renewed: Seahawks vs. Broncos. This will be the first matchup for the Seahawks since they traded Russell Wilson to the Broncos and Wilson’s first game in Seattle since the trade. Geno Smith will get the start at quarterback and the Seahawks will be a bit shorthanded. The Seahawks injury news shows that the team could be without Kenneth Walker, cornerback Sidney Jones, outside linebacker Boye Mafe, outside linebacker Alton Robinson and offensive guard Damien Lewis. The much-anticipated return of Russell Wilson to Seattle is also the start of a new era of the Seahawks, as they drafted nine rookies in the 2022 NFL Draft.
