Seahawks injury updates: WR Cade Johnson, WR Dee Eskridge and more

The Seahawks had a couple of wide receivers suffer injuries in last night’s preseason win over the Vikings.

The Seahawks had a couple of wide receivers suffer injuries in last night’s preseason win over the Vikings.

After the game, coach Pete Carroll offered updates on Cade Johnson – who was taken off the field in a stretcher – and Dee Eskridge – who was injured again on the opening kickoff, plus a few others who were unofficially ruled out.

WR Cade Johnson

The worst of it happened to Johnson, who spent most of the 2022 season on Seattle’s practice squad. Johnson suffered a heck/neck injury and had to leave the field on a stretcher.

Carroll says he has a concussion but beyond that it was a “real good report.”

WR Dee Eskridge, WR Cody Thompson, NT Cam Young

The cause of Eskridge’s six-game suspension is another matter, but his terrible luck with injuries has seemingly continued into the 2023 campaign. Eskridge was injured on the opening kickoff and had to leave the game. Carroll says Eskridge suffered a twisted knee but did not know the severity of it – although he claims he was able to move around well on it.

Carroll also told reporters that wide receiver Cody Thompson was held out due to groin tightness. Rookie nose tackle Cam Young was also sidelined by a calf strain.

Outside of that, there don’t appear to be any significant injuries from last night’s game – at least none that have been reported as of yet.

Improvement needed after Seahawks drop 2nd preseason game 27-11

The Seattle Seahawks have plenty of work to do to get ready for their preseason finale after dropping Thursday’s game to the Chicago Bears.

Even by already-low preseason standards, the Seattle Seahawks played a very uninspiring game of football. On Thursday night in front of the 12th Man for the first time this summer, the Seahawks fell to the visiting Chicago Bears 27-11 in their second preseason game.

Right from the get-go, the Seahawks were sloppy for most of the night and it cost them dearly. Some late-game magic with a botched Bears punt return and recovered onside kick weren’t able to overcome Seattle’s slow start.

In fairness to the Seahawks, they did play last Saturday night in Pittsburgh with a quick turnaround to a Thursday. The exceptionally short week of practice and lack of key starters playing meaningful time would make it difficult for any team to play a competent game.

Regardless, there is more than enough room for improvement for the Seahawks before their preseason finale next Friday in Dallas.

Seahawks sign RB to practice squad, release WR to make room

The Seahawks are thin at more than one position heading into Week 12, including running back.

The Seahawks are thin at more than one position heading into Week 12, including running back. Starter Chris Carson is on IR and will be undergoing season-ending surgery on his neck soon. Former first-round pick Rashaad Penny’s latest injury is a hamstring issue and backup Alex Collins has been limited by a groin problem for several weeks.

With an eye on adding some more depth to their running back group, the team has signed B.J. Emmons (5-foot-11, 215 pounds) to their practice squad. Emmons played his college football at Florida Atlantic, where he scored six rushing touchdowns in 2019 as a junior. Emmons started this season on the Raiders’ practice squad.

To make room for Emmons, Seattle released rookie wide receiver Cade Johnson.

The Eagles are no strangers to targeting small school players in the NFL draft and the results have mostly been positive.

The Eagles used the 2016 Senior Bowl to analyze Carson Wentz and Howie Roseman used the No. 2 pick on the former North Dakota State star.

Dallas Goedert, Todd Herreman, Jeremiah Trotter, and Brian Westbrook also make the list.

There have been plenty of small-school gems drafted over the years and with the Eagles in need of some retooling, here are 10 sleeper prospects who could interest the Birds.
