Seahawks guard Mike Iupati downgraded to out for Week 7 in Arizona

Seattle Seahawks guard Mike Iupati has been downgraded from questionable to out for Week 7 against the Cardinals due to a back injury.

The Seattle Seahawks had only ruled out safety Jamal Adams on Friday ahead of the team’s Week-7 matchup against the Arizona Cardinals. The only other player noted on the injury report was guard Mike Iupati, who was listed as questionable to play.

Seattle Has now downgraded Iupati to “out” for Sunday night due to his back injury.

“He’s struggled this week some,” coach Pete Carroll had said Friday. “It was an uncomfortable couple days, so we have to see how he is by the weekend and all that, and for next week. We’ve got to see, we’ve got to get Mike so he’s healed and that he has returned fully because it has nagged him a little bit, so I’m a little concerned about that.”

Jordan Simmons, who got the nod for Iupati in Week 5, will likely get the start once again.

Kickoff is set for 5:20 p.m. PT at State Farm Stadium in Glendale.
