The Seattle Seahawks improved to a perfect 3-0 following Sunday’s dominant 24-3 Week 3 victory over the Miami Dolphins. It was nearly a perfect afternoon for the Seahawks, though a handful of injuries put a minor damper on the outcome. Both Leonard Williams and Byron Murphy II were lost to injury.
Williams exited the game with an unknown injury to his midsection. Murphy suffered a hamstring injury. Head coach Mike Macdonald offered updates on both injuries during his post-game presser.
“I think we got a picture of it, but I don’t know what the results of that are,” Macdonald said about Williams’ injury. “We’ll find out here in the next couple of days.” The severity of Murphy’s injury remains unknown, but an update could arrive shortly.
Mike Macdonald said he doesn't know how bad Leonard Williams' injury is or what part of his midsection he hurt. "I think we got a picture of it. I don't what the results of that are. We'll see here in the next couple of days." No word either on Byron Murphy's hamstring injury.

Williams eventually returned to the sidelines with his helmet on, observing the remainder of the victory from right behind the coaching staff. Murphy went into the locker room with his injury. He received treatment for a hamstring injury.
Williams has been credited with six tackles, eight quarterback hits, 1.5 sacks, and 11 pressures in three games, per Pro Football Focus. Murphy has been credited with four solo tackles, one sack, six QB hurries, and seven pressures. Losing either one, let alone both, would represent a significant blow to Macdonald’s defensive line.
