Seahawks rule DK Metcalf and 3 others OUT for Week 9 vs Rams

The Seattle Seahawks are facing a must-win game this weekend against the Los Angeles Rams. The stakes could not be higher for Seattle at the midpoint in the season, as they face potentially falling into last place in the NFC West right before their bye week.

Unfortunately, they will be without the services of wide receiver DK Metcalf for a second-straight week, as he has been ruled OUT for Sunday. Joining him on the sidelines will be tight end Noah Fant, defensive lineman Cam Young, and of course, right tackle Abe Lucas.

The good news is no player is listed as DOUBTFUL. The only other player who carries an injury designation is linebacker Ernest Jones IV. During the blowout loss to the Bills last week, Jones led the Seahawks with 15 total tackles. He provided a clear upgrade over Jerome Baker, and hopefully he will be ready to go against the Rams.

Other potential good news is right tackle George Fant is not mentioned anywhere. Perhaps he could be active for the first time since Week 1.
