Can Seattle’s offensive line protect Russell Wilson?

The Seahawks saw just how important left tackle Duane Brown is to the team last Sunday against the Cardinals.

His absence forced backup Jamarco Jones into the starting five, and he spent the entire day getting worked by veteran Chandler Jones, who recorded four sacks and six quarterback hits.

Brown is out again this week, and either Jones or George Fant will be tasked with protecting Russell Wilson’s blind side on Sunday.

The 49ers will be without Dee Ford, which is a nice break for Seattle, but they’ll still have to deal with Nick Bosa, Arik Armstead and DeForest Buckner across the defensive line.

If Jones and/or Fant are unable to hold their blocks on the outside, it could be another long day for Wilson and the Seattle offense on Sunday night.
