Our Seattle Seahawks offense? It’s broken, plain and simple. We watched it crumble on Thursday night, and while you can’t blame the offensive line for everything, they sure didn’t do Sam Darnold any favors. We’re sitting at a dismal 3-3 record, right in the middle of the toughest stretch of our season, and we are desperate for answers. But hold up, 12s, because there’s a flicker of light: head coach Mike Macdonald just said starting right guard Anthony Bradford has a “very good chance” to be back next Sunday for our showdown against the Kansas City Chiefs.
Bradford’s Rocky Road Back to the Field
Bradford has been sidelined on injured reserve since way back in Week 2, nursing hip and knee injuries. The guy’s a three-year starter, and we saw him out there against the New England Patriots before he had to sit out our win over the Arizona Cardinals. Then, boom, IR. Since then, it’s been a rotation of Christian Haynes and rookie Beau Stephens trying to fill his shoes. And, let’s be honest, it’s been a mixed bag through four weeks. The offensive line has seriously struggled in 2026, and it’s hurt us.
Why This Return Matters More Than You Think
Yeah, I know, Bradford has been maligned by some fans during his tenure here in Seattle. We’ve all had our moments yelling at the screen. But hear me out: this guy was a key piece for us down the stretch last season. His return could be a real shot in the arm, especially for right tackle Abraham Lucas. With our offense in a tailspin and needing answers like yesterday, getting Bradford back could provide the boost we absolutely need. It might not fix everything overnight, but it’s a step, and right now, we’ll take any step we can get.
Thanks to that Thursday night game, the Seahawks have nine days to make the final decision on Bradford. We’re hosting the Chiefs, on Sunday Night Football, no less, on October 25th at 5:20 p.m. This isn’t just another game, folks. This is about showing up, getting our offense back on track, and proving we can still hang in this brutal stretch. Every snap matters, and Bradford’s potential return against one of the league’s toughest teams could be the spark we’ve been begging for.
