Seahawks are going into the final preseason
game we look at some news this week.
Not only did the Seahawks lose last Saturday
night to the Denver Broncos. They lost two
contributors to special teams in former Husky
linebacker Ben Burr-Kirven and wide receiver
John Ursua. Both players were drafted by
the Seahawks in 2019. Ben spent most of his
time playing on special teams while being the
backup middle linebacker to Bobby Wagner.
The Seahawks have had depth problems at
linebacker through camp and losing Ben
doesn't help. Ursua was competing for one
of the wide receivers to compliment Tyler
Lockett and DK Metcalf. Top draft pick
this year D'Wayne Eskridge just returned
to practice which is a good thing. Eskridge
is expected to be the third receiver. Don't
know for sure but Seahawks should carry
five receivers.
The Seahawks will play their final preseason
game on this Saturday. We should see Russell
Wilson in this final tune up against the LA
Chargers. This week they waived quarterbacks
Alex McGough and Cedrick Lattimore. Geno
Smith is expected to be the Seahawks backup
at qb however veteran Sean Mannion out of
Oregon State is still on the roster.
On Tuesday the Seahawks signed veteran
tight end Luke Wilson. With the injury to
Colby Parkinson means the Seahawks needed
another tight end. Willson is one of those
guys you like having around. Parkinson is
expected to be out at least three games.
The Seahawks will be starting the season on
September 12 against the Indianapolis Colts.
So they will have to cut down their roster
next week. Carson Wentz who the Colts
picked up from the Philadelphia Eagles
has missed training camp because of injury.
Former Washington Husky quarterback
has taken many of the snaps in camp with
the first unit. So if Wentz isn't able to start
week one likely Eason will start. Last week
the Colts played against the Minnesota
Vikings facing former Husky quarterback
Jake Browning who is trying to be the
backup to Kirk Cousins.
