Seahawks place rookie Dee Eskridge on IR, elevate WR from practice squad

The Seattle Seahawks have placed rookie wide receiver Dee Eskridge on their injured reserve list.

The Seattle Seahawks have placed rookie wide receiver Dee Eskridge on their injured reserve list. Eskridge has missed every game since Week 1 after suffering a concussion against the Indianapolis Colts. He will not be eligible to return to the active roster for three weeks.

Eskridge was the team’s first draft pick this year, coming in the second round. Taking his place on the 53 will be wide receiver Phillip Dorsett, a name that should be familiar to Seattle fans. Dorsett was on the roster last year but was shut down after only a couple games, going on IR with a foot injury in September. He was re-signed a few weeks ago and now has been elevated from the practice squad ahead of tonight’s game against the Los Angeles Rams.

Football aside, this news is pretty concerning for Eskridge, whose long-term health should be the most important consideration here. Yesterday, coach Pete Carroll described the concussion as “real serious.”

A closer look at Seahawks’ injuries ahead of 49ers matchup Week 4

Coach Pete Carroll provided a number of Seattle Seahawks injury updates ahead of the Week 4 matchup against the San Francisco 49ers.

The Seattle Seahawks ruled out a couple of players ahead of the Sunday matchup against the San Francisco 49ers – right tackle Brandon Shell (ankle) and running back Rashaad Penny (calf) – as neither player was able to return to practice this week.

In addition, rookie wide receiver Dee Eskridge is doubtful to square off against the division rivals.

“I’m not sure he’s going to make it, we have to wait and see what happens tomorrow,” coach Pete Carroll told reporters after the walkthrough on Friday. “We are still talking about it. He passed the protocol on Wednesday. He sat out Wednesday to do that, had a really good day yesterday at practice, but we don’t know if it is right to bring him back yet.”

There is also a slim chance Seattle could be down another wide receiver for the Week 4 contest. Starter Tyler Lockett was deemed questionable to play with a hip injury.

“He practiced today,” Carroll said. “We rested him during the week, he did a bunch of treatment, and he feels good.”

Defensive ends Alton Robinson (knee) and Benson Mayowa (neck) were also listed as questionable on Friday’s injury report.

Here’s your first look at this week’s injury report.

Seattle Seahawks: 7 players who should get more snaps going forward

Here are seven players who should get a higher snap count going forward.

The Seattle Seahawks are 1-1 heading into Week 3 of the season. On paper, this is a strong team with a real chance to go deep in the playoffs. However, they face a gruesome challenge trying to get out of the NFC West, the most competitive division in the league right now by far. Seattle will need every advantage to earn a spot in the postseason. Looking ahead, coach Pete Carroll should continue tinkering with his lineups and give promising players more opportunities to see if they can help.

Here are seven players who should get a higher snap count going forward.

Pete Carroll updates Seahawks injuries after Week 2 loss to Titans

Coach Pete Carroll updates the Seattle Seahawks’ injury situation after their Week 2 loss to the Tennessee Titans in overtime.

The Seattle Seahawks’ egos might be bruised after dropping their home opener to the Tennessee Titans in overtime on Sunday, but the roster is looking relatively healthy heading into the workweek.

Coach Pete Carroll provided some injury updates during his morning radio hit on 710 ESPN Seattle.

The good news is that rookies cornerback Tre Brown (knee) and wide receiver Dee Eskridge (concussion) should be returning to action sooner than later.

“Tre Brown will come back in another week too to get back in the competition of it too, which will be good,” Carroll said of Brown, who is currently on injured reserve with a knee injury.  As for Eskridge, he has a shot to play this Sunday.

“The reports are really good coming out of the weekend that he feels back to normal,” Carroll said. “He’ll be worked back in and if he can maintain the workload then he’ll be fine to go. He has a really good chance to play.”

Carroll also confirmed right tackle Brandon Shell, who left the Titan’s contest early, does have an ankle sprain.

“We’ll see how he responds,” Carroll cautioned. “The MRIs and stuff were pretty positive for hopes that we’ll be OK.”

Finally, defensive tackle Bryan Mone is wait and see after missing Sunday’s game with an arm injury.

“We’ll have to wait and see on Bryan, it all depends on how he responds,” Carroll said. “He had a pretty good injury to his triceps, so we just need to see how it comes back and responds to the work and the pushing and the heavy-duty stuff he has to do. He would have been a very valuable part of this game and we really missed him this week.”

Carroll is expected to have additional updates during his Monday afternoon press conference.

Seahawks rule out WR Dee Eskridge, elevate DT Robert Nkemdiche from practice squad

The Seahawks have ruled out rookie wide receiver Dee Eskridge for tomorrow’s home opener against the Titans.

The Seahawks have ruled out rookie wide receiver Dee Eskridge for tomorrow’s home opener against the Titans. Eskridge suffered a concussion in the season opener against the Colts and did not practice this week. He had been listed as doubtful to play.

Taking his place on the 53-man roster will be defensive tackle Robert Nkemdiche, who has been elevated from the practice squad.

Nkemdiche is a former first-round pick by the Cardinals in 2016 who’s had trouble finding his footing in the NFL. He has only started six of the 29 regular season games he’s played in. Nkemdiche suffered a torn ACL in 2019 and was not on a roster last year.

This news could be related to the Seahawks’ injury report, which indicates the interior of their defensive line could be a bit thin on Sunday. Nose tackle Bryan Mone was limited at practice all this week with an elbow injury and is listed as questionable. Poona Ford (shoulder) was also limited at one point, so he may not be 100%.

Seahawks receivers Dee Eskridge, Penny Hart in concussion protocol

Seattle Seahawks wide receivers Dee Eskridge and Penny Hart are in the NFL’s concussion protocol after sustaining hits to the head Week 1.

The Seattle Seahawks had a couple of wide receivers leave the Week 1 contest against the Indianapolis Colts early after sustaining hits to the head. Rookie wide receiver Dee Eskridge and Penny Hart are both now in the NFL’s mandated concussion protocol.

Coach Pete Carroll is unsure how long it will be for either player to return.

“It’s going to take a couple of days to get it done,” Carroll said during his Monday afternoon press conference. “They’re not the same, they’re individual cases and we’ll treat them, of course, individually, but there’s a timeframe sequence they have to follow to make it back.

“So nothing to make a prediction about right now other than we’ll see what happens.”

The Seahawks are set to face the Titans in Seattle’s home opener on Sunday and could very well be without both wide receivers.

Tuesday is a player off day, but Carroll should have some additional information on Wednesday before practice.
