3 Seahawks suffer ankle injuries in 44-34 loss to Bills Week 9

Three Seattle Seahawks defensive players suffered ankle injuries in the team’s 44-34 loss to the Buffalo Bills in Week 9.

The Seattle Seahawks dropped to 6-2 on the season after falling to the Bills in Buffalo Week 9. Seattle’s defense played sub-par at best, and to add insult to injury, three defensive players suffered ankle injuries during the contest.

“We did a couple ankles today,” coach Pete Carroll said after the loss. “K.J (Wright), D.J. Reed looked twisted. We have to see how those turn out. Bryan Mone had an ankle also so we had a little bit of a run on ankles today.

“We do know we had three guys sprain ankles.”

Carroll also said cornerback Quinton Dunbar was battling to play through a sore knee but was needed on the field.

Carroll will likely have more in-depth injury updates during his press conferences on Monday.

Seahawks announce 4 roster moves ahead of Week 8 vs. 49ers

Seahawks activated D.J. Reed and Colby Parkinson from the NFI list and elevated Stephen Sullivan and Jayson Stanley from the practice squad.

The Seattle Seahawks announced a number of roster moves Saturday afternoon ahead of the Week-8 contest against the San Francisco 49ers.

Seattle has activated cornerback D.J. Reed and tight end Colby Parkinson from the Non-Football Injury list to the 53-man roster.

Now that he has been added to the active roster, Reed has also been listed on the injury report as questionable with a hamstring.

“He is ready to play,” coach Pete Carroll said Friday. “He’s an exciting football player. You have great quickness and really good savvy and understanding for the game. That’s why when we got him a while back you know we were really excited about him being able to jump in. We thought he could play quickly if we give him the opportunity. So if he gets that opportunity, he’s ready to roll . . . ”

The Seahawks also elevated defensive end/tight end Stephen Sullivan and cornerback Jayson Stanley from the practice squad.

Seattle is particularly thin at defensive back with Shaquill Griffin ruled out for Sunday and Ugo Amadi doubtful to play.
