The Chargers’ Week Four injury report for their upcoming game at Seattle is out, and Emerald City, you’re gonna want to hear this. Seven players were listed as Did Not Practice (DNP) on Wednesday, including some major defensive pieces that could make a real difference for our Seahawks as we welcome the Bolts to town.
Defensive Line Looking Thin, Thin, THIN
Justin Eboigbe, a defensive lineman, was a DNP with an eye injury, and that’s a big deal. Why? Because the defensive line room for the Chargers is already in trouble. Dalvin Tomlinson is *still* sidelined with a hamstring injury he picked up way back in Week Two against the Raiders. The report explicitly says their defensive line room is “getting concerningly thin.” Think about that for a second. Tomlinson *might* be back in Week Five, but he’s definitely not playing our Hawks this week. This news has to be music to Brian Fleury’s ears and a huge opportunity for our offense to dominate the trenches.
More Bolts on the Sideline?
It’s not just the D-line that’s battered. The Chargers are limping into this matchup with a significant list of other injured players. Left guard Kayode Awosika was also a DNP with a fibula injury, and cornerback Donte Jackson is out with a concussion. If you thought our guys were going to have it easy, a speedy rookie wideout, Brenen Thompson, is also a DNP with a hamstring injury he picked up against the Raiders in Week Two. That’s a lot of key guys not practicing.
Beyond the DNPs, there are more players to keep a close eye on. Safety Derwin James is dealing with a finger injury, and wideout Ladd McConkey was tagged with a new foot injury this week, after battling a sore rib for two weeks already. Then there’s running back Keaton Mitchell, a late addition to the report with an ankle injury. He was seen in a walking boot after practice, though he did tell reporters he was “fine.” We’ve heard that before, right?
The Chargers are looking pretty banged up as they head to Lumen Field for Week Four. This is a massive opportunity for Mike Macdonald and our Seahawks to make a real statement early in the season and show the league what Emerald City football is all about. Let’s make some noise for the boys!
