Seahawks running back Velus Jones Jr. is officially done for Sunday Night Football, leaving the Week 7 clash against the Kansas City Chiefs with a hamstring injury. This is a tough pill to swallow for the Emerald City faithful watching the action unfold tonight.

The Play That Stopped the Night

The injury happened in the third quarter. Jones was tackled for a six-yard loss on the play, and that was it. You could see the frustration, the immediate concern, as he went down. He did not return to the game after going down, the team confirming he was out for the rest of the night.

His Numbers Before the Sideline

Before exiting the game, Jones managed five carries for eight yards. Every single yard, every single snap, matters in a prime-time game like this against a team like the Chiefs.

The Seahawks will have to finish this Week 7 battle against the Chiefs without Velus Jones Jr., a blow felt deeply across Lumen Field tonight.
