Seattle Seahawks release first injury report for season finale vs. Los Angeles Rams
One injury report down, two more to go for the 2024 Seattle Seahawks.
With no playoff implications at stake, the Seahawks’ Week 18 game against the NFC West champion Los Angeles Rams will be their last one of the season. Their first practice for this week saw nine players listed on the injury report, including right tackle Abe Lucas and cornerback Josh Jobe. In last week’s win over the Chicago Bears, Jobe suffered a knee injury at some point in the third quarter and did not return. Mike Macdonald indicated that it wasn’t anything major.
The likes of DK Metcalf, Zach Charbonnet, and Geno Smith were not on the injury report. Five players were DNPs, with Leonard Williams and Jarran Reed effectively getting rest days. Laken Tomlinson, Ernest Jonves IV, Byron Murphy II, and Tyler Lockett were limited participants.
Not much more to really add! Here’s virtually everything I said but in a team-provided table:
The Rams, who will be resting starters, only had right tackle Rob Havenstein and receiver Jordan Whittington on the injury report, and Havenstein has already been ruled out. In other words, the Rams are healthy at the right time.

Thanks to Carrie Brown for the westward view of our Saturday night sunset. The high today hit 68 at the airport – eight degrees above normal – but nowhere near the record for this date, which was 89 degrees back in 2016. The forecast suggests two more days of partly sunny, almost-70-degree weather, before the chance of rain returns.
CHICAGO (AP) — The struggling New York Mets placed former Seattle Mariners second baseman/designated hitter Jorge Polanco on the 10-day injured list on Saturday with a right wrist contusion.

The move was made retroactive to Wednesday, a day after Polanco went 0 for 4 with two strikeouts in a 2-1 loss at the Los Angeles Dodgers. The 32-year-old Polanco is batting .179 (10 for 56) with a homer and two RBIs in his first season with New York, which has lost nine straight.
“When doctors first took a look at him, it looked like he got hit by a pitch when he didn’t,” manager Carlos Mendoza said. “In talking to him, it was just a couple of swings that he took that night. … He didn’t think much of it, but just got worse the following day.
“So you just got to let it calm down a little bit and then we’ll go from there. But we don’t have a timetable for how long this is going to last.”
Polanco, who signed a two-year, $40 million contract with the Mets in December, also has been dealing with an ankle issue.
“He was trending in the right direction,” Mendoza said of the ankle injury. “It’s definitely going to help, obviously now with him being shut down. But the biggest thing now is that we’ve got to take care of that wrist.”
Polanco spent the previous two seasons with the Mariners, who acquired him in a February 2024 trade with the Minnesota Twins.
Polanco struggled during his first season with Seattle in 2024, hitting just .213 with 16 homers in 118 games while playing through a knee injury that didn’t become public knowledge until after the season.
But after the Mariners somewhat surprisingly brought him back for a one-year contract in 2025, Polanco rebounded to hit .265 with 26 homers and an .821 OPS in 138 games last season. He then added three homers during Seattle’s playoff run, along with a 15th-inning walkoff single in Game 5 of the American League Division Series that sent the Mariners to their first ALCS in 24 years.
