SEATTLE, WA – The Seattle Seahawks received a mixed bag of injury news ahead of their Sunday matchup against the New Orleans Saints. Wide receiver Tory Horton has been cleared to play after dealing with a groin injury earlier in the week.
“The rookie was limited at practice, but he has been cleared to take the field,” Seahawks officials confirmed on Twitter. However, FantasyPros.com cautions against relying on Horton as a starter, citing his rookie status and recent injury.
In less positive news, defensive back Julian Love, rookie cornerback Devon Witherspoon, safety Nick Emmanwori, and rookie running back Zach Charbonnet are all listed as doubtful for Sunday’s game. This information was also shared by Michael-Shawn Dugar on Twitter.
The absence of Love, Witherspoon, Emmanwori and Charbonnet could present a significant challenge for the Seahawks, particularly on the defensive side of the ball. The team will need to rely on its depth and make adjustments to their game plan to compensate for these key players’ potential absence.
