Seattle Seahawks Injury Report: Big names DNP to start week
A trio of notable players did not practice when the Seattle Seahawks began their week of preparation Wednesday ahead of playing the New York Jets this weekend.
The names: wide receivers Tyler Lockett and DK Metcalf, and defensive end Leonard Williams.
Stacy Rost’s three thoughts with Seahawks back atop NFC West
Lockett was held out with a knee injury while Metcalf’s reason listed was a shoulder. As for Williams, it’s a lingering foot injury that kept him from practicing a couple of times last week. Watching Williams’ monster performance in Seattle’s 16-6 win over the Arizona Cardinals, however, you’d be hard pressed to think there was anything wrong with him.
Also on the list of players who did not practice were nose tackle Jarran Reed for rest, and new safety AJ Finley, who was acquired Wednesday as a waiver claim from the Los Angeles Chargers. Finley has an ankle issue.
Seahawks Moves: Starting OL to IR; DB added from Chargers
Only three players were limited in practice, the most notable being Uchenna Nwosu (thigh), who was designated to return to practice this week from injured reserve.
Seven players dealing with injuries were listed as full participants by the Seahawks, including tackle Stone Forsythe (hand), another player designated to return to practice this week from IR.
Here are the full Seahawks and Jets injury reports from Wednesday.

Kraken lose 5th straight game, Jets 6-2 win pushes Seattle further from playoffs
WINNIPEG, Manitoba — The Kraken dropped their fifth-straight game as the Jets won 6-2 in Winnipeg.
The loss adds to the dwindling Stanley Cup Playoff hopes for a Kraken team that’s made the postseason just once since the team began playing in the 2021-2022 season.
The Kraken’s (32-33-11) 75 points trail the Nashville Predators’ 81 points with just six games remaining.
The Jets, Los Angeles Kings, San Jose Sharks, and Saint Louis Blues are ahead of the Kraken in the standings as teams jockey for Wild Card spots.
Kraken captain Jordan Eberle opened the scoring in the first period to give Seattle a 1-0 lead.
The Jets then scored once in the first period and twice in the second to take a 3-2 advantage into the third.
Goalkeeper Joey Daccord was pulled after allowing two goals on 12 shots.
Forward Jared McCann scored early in the third period to bring the Kraken to within one.
The Jets then scored two unanswered goals and an empty-net goal to seal the 6-2 win.
Up next
The Kraken play at the Minnesota Wild on Tuesday.
