Six defensive starters do not practice Thursday as Seahawks battle health issues

The Seattle Seahawks are preparing for one last game before heading into a much needed bye week in Week 5, which will give the many members of the team who are ailing an opportunity to rest and recover. The injury bug bit hard early in the season for the Hawks, with both starting tackles leaving the season opening loss against the Los Angeles Rams and it’s been downhill since with more and more injuries piling on.

Thus, the length of the initial injury report for the Week 4 matchup against the New York Giants on Monday Night Football is not a surprise, but the number of key members of the roster not participating in practice, particularly on the defensive side of the ball certainly warrants attention.
