· Yahoo Sports

The Seattle Seahawks emerged victorious in an injury bowl against the Arizona Cardinals last week, and it appears they may have to do it again on Sunday against the Las Vegas Raiders.

Seattle released the first of the three weekly injury reports, which is headlined by the health of backup quarterback Drew Lock, who is battling a lingering elbow injury and a new oblique injury. Lock was limited in practice on Wednesday, with head coach Mike Macdonald indicating that the veteran is “making good progress” and may start against the Raiders.

The ominous messaging leaves the entirety of Seattle on Jalen Milroe watch yet again as the second-year player is the only other healthy quarterback on the Seahawks’ 53-man roster and would come in if Lock couldn’t play.

Whoever is under center will once again be working with a patchwork offensive line as stars Quenton Nelson and Charles Cross did not practice. Nelson is battling a knee injury that might hold him out for his second straight game while Cross has been out with an ankle injury since Week 7. Backup guard Anthony Bradford continues to be hampered by a knee injury and was limited on Wednesday.

The Seahawks offense appears to have a weapon returning as wide receiver and kicker returner Rashid Shaheed was a full participant in practice. Shaheed has had a quiet 2026, but remains a key piece to unlocking the Seahawks’ offense as the organization is hopeful he emerges as a second option beside Jaxon Smith-Njigba.

On the defensive side, Leonard Williams remains out with a stinger that he suffered against the Kansas City Chiefs, and edge rusher Derick Hall was limited with a new back injury. Both would be a massive loss for the Seahawks front that will hope to ruin Raiders’ rookie Fernando Mendoza’s debut.

It wasn’t all negative for the Seahawks’ defense, though, as signs are trending positive for edge rusher Uchenna Nwosu, who was limited with the ankle injury that’s held him out of the team’s last two games.

Meanwhile, the Raiders report was considerably smaller, so it appears they’ll be near full-go against their former AFC West rival. For the Seahawks, they will have two more days of practice before setting game designations, so here’s to hoping that the report shrinks throughout the week.
