Seahawks safety Jamal Adams is questionable for Week 8 vs. 49ers

Seattle Seahawks safety Jamal Adams is questionable for Week 8 vs. the San Francisco 49ers after getting in limited practice during the week.

The Seattle Seahawks are hopeful their star safety Jamal Adams will return to the field to face the San Francisco 49ers on Sunday for the team’s Week-8 matchup.

Adams has missed the last three games due to a groin injury but got in some very limited practice on Friday.

“He worked today,” coach Pete Carroll said Friday after the walkthrough. “He got some work today so that’s a good sign. It’s a real good sign. We’ll just have to figure it out, see if he’s OK. You’re going see some guys we’re going right to game time on a number of guys.”

Even though Adams appears to be on the mend from the groin injury, he was temporarily sidelined this week due to an illness. Because of the COVID-19 pandemic, Adams could not return to the facility until Thursday afternoon. He has continued to test negative for the coronavirus.

Adams’ lack of work this week could be a factor in whether or not he is ready to go this Sunday.

“Yeah, it’s a big concern, it’s a big concern,” Carroll said. “That’s a lot to ask. He’s worked out great in his conditioning work and all that. The fact that he had to miss a couple days here really kind of threw a wrench in the works for a smooth comeback. So we’ll have to see what happens at game time.”

Three of Seattle’s running backs – Chris Carson, Carlos Hyde, and Travis Homer – will also be game-day decisions against the 49ers.

Dwayne Haskins asked to stay home from Sunday’s game because of illness

Haskins was scheduled to be inactive, but he will no longer be at the field on Sunday after being asked to stay home with a stomach virus.

Washington’s now third-string quarterback was likely going to be listed as inactive on Sunday when his team played the Los Angeles Rams, meaning he would be on the sidelines in street clothes, but now he is being asked to avoid the game entirely after reportedly falling ill with a stomach virus that has had him throwing up for the past couple of days.

According to The Washington Post’s Nicki Jhabvala, there is no reason to believe that the illness is COVID-19 related, but the team is still taking precautions and asking Haskins to watch from home. Washington’s Kyle Allen will get his first start of the season when Washington kicks off against the Rams on Sunday at 1 p.m. ET.

Report: Chiefs RG Andrew Wylie inactive with illness, being taken to hospital

The Chiefs will be without their starting right guard against the Ravens.

Kansas City Chiefs starting RG Andrew Wylie was a surprise inactive for “Monday Night Football” against the Baltimore Ravens.

According to a report from Kansas City Star reporter Herbie Teope, Wylie was made inactive after showing up to M&T Bank Stadium feeling sick. Among further examination from the Chiefs’ training staff, Wylie was taken to the hospital.

It’s not clear what type of symptoms or illness he’s dealing with, but obviously, it’s never a good sign when something like this forces a player out of a game and into the hospital. It’s certainly something that we’ll be monitoring throughout the evening.

Wylie practiced in full all week for Kansas City. Expect veteran swing offensive lineman Mike Remmers to fill in for Wylie at the right guard spot. His two spots with the most starts are right tackle and right guard, so he’ll feel right at home there.

Chiefs DE Frank Clark reveals why he missed a portion of Week 2

A trip to the hydration station is in order for Kansas City Chiefs DE Frank Clark.

The Kansas City Chiefs were without starting DE Frank Clark during a portion of their Week 2 win over the Los Angeles Chargers.

Clark played in less that 50% of the Chiefs’ snaps on Sunday after exiting the game with an illness. After the game, Andy Reid confirmed an illness for Clark but didn’t have much more of an update besides that. This left many questions about the type of illness Clark was dealing with and why it caused him to exit the game.

On Monday, Clark took to Twitter to thank those concerned for him. He also revealed that this shouldn’t be much of an issue moving forward.

So, Clark struggled to stay hydrated during the game but claimed to be feeling great on Monday.

During Reid’s media availability, he was asked if this was related at all to the stomach sickness that Clark dealt with last year, which was in part caused by a prior appendectomy. That specific illness had him shedding weight in the thick of the 2019 season.

“No, he’s had this for a number of years I believe,” Reid said. “He works through it. Nobody wants to be out there more than him. That’s never a question with Frank Clark, he loves to play the game and it’s something that he battles through with. Our doctors try to monitor it and keep it under control the best that they can.”

So there you have it, this doesn’t seem to be an issue that would linger and keep him out for an extended period of time. You can certainly assume that Clark will be ready to play and hydrated in Week 3 when the Chiefs face the Baltimore Ravens on the road on “Monday Night Football.”

A healthy Tyler Lockett is a huge factor for Seahawks on Sundays

Finally back to full form, Seattle Seahawks receiver Tyler Lockett is now 100% healthy and ready to take on the Arizona Cardinals Week 16.

The Seattle Seahawks realized just how much they had missed Tyler Lockett when he finally returned to full form last week.

Lockett had first suffered a leg injury against the 49ers and was then hit with the flu that had been circling the Seahawks locker room. While the wide receiver didn’t miss a matchup, it was clear he was not 100% on the field.

“It was weird because we kind of felt it during the week – we just kind of felt it,” offensive coordinator Brian Schottenheimer said on Thursday. “Sometimes, when you’re out here watching practice, you get a sense of man, the ball is going to him a lot. Or boy, he’s moving like himself. Like he’s got a particular speed that you’re used to seeing and we hadn’t really seen that for a while. I wasn’t really surprised. It was great to see it. I think he felt good.”

Against the Panthers last Sunday, Lockett bounced back to log eight receptions for 120 yards and a touchdown. He now has 75 catches for 994 yards and seven scores on the year.

“The catch he made, the big one down our boundary early in the game on 26 was an unbelievable catch,” Schottenheimer praised. “I still don’t know how he finishes some of those plays. We kind of anticipate it might be a good day for him.”

Lockett will get his next shot to impress Sunday afternoon against the Cardinals at CenturyLink Field.

Defensive ends Jadeveon Clowney, Ziggy Ansah uncertain for Sunday

The Seattle Seahawks could be down a couple of defenders against the Cardinals if Jadeveon Clowney and Ziggy Ansah are unable to play.

The Seattle Seahawks could be down a couple of defensive ends Sunday against the Arizona Cardinals if Jadeveon Clowney and Ziggy Ansah are unable to return from injuries. Both players were inactive Week 15 against the Carolina Panthers.

Clowney has been battling a sports hernia (core) issue over the last few weeks of the season. Opting not to undergo surgery at this point, he’s been pushing through the pain. But last week, Clowney was also sidelined by the flu, unable to even travel with the team.

As for Ansah, he’s still been fighting a neck injury.

Coach Pete Caroll did say both defenders would get some practice in starting Wednesday, however.

“I can’t tell you, that I don’t know,” Carroll responded when asked if Clowney and Ansah would be ready to suit up Week 16. “We’ve got to get through the week and see what happens. They are both going to get work today and we’ll just see how we progress and see if it’s right for those guys to play.

“I’m hoping – we’d love to get get them both back, but I can’t tell you right now.”

Ansah and Clowney have a number of days to prove they are ready to roll before the final injury report of the week comes out on Friday.

Seahawks receiver Tyler Lockett returns to top form against Panthers

Seattle Seahawks wide receiver Tyler Lockett has been battling to get back to full health over the last month seeing limited production on gamedays.

Seattle Seahawks wide receiver Tyler Lockett has been battling to get back to full health over the last month seeing limited production on gamedays.

First sidelined with a lower leg injury following the Seahawks Week-10 win in San Francisco, Lockett then succumbed to the flu, logging only five receptions over his last three outings.

Finally healthy for the Week 15 start in Carolina, Lockett once again proved just what he is capable of when feeling 100%.

Lockett started strong on Sunday when he connected with quarterback Russell Wilson for 44 yards in the middle of the first quarter, hauling in an inconceivable catch.

Finishing the day as the Seahawks leading receiver, Lockett managed eight catches on nine targets for 120 yards and a touchdown.

Here’s a look at Lockett’s score in the second quarter on a 19-yard TD pass from Wilson.

After his impressive performance against the Panthers, it’s safe to say the Seahawks No. 1 is 100% back in action and ready to roll, just as his quarterback predicted ahead of the matchup.

Seahawks in good shape after illness circulated through locker room

The Seattle Seahawks have been battling flu and cold season, but the illness that has circulated the locker room seems to have passed.

It’s that time of year for fans – flu and cold season – and it’s no different for NFL teams around the league. Over the last couple of weeks, an illness has circulated around the Seattle Seahawks locker room, impacting a number of players.

Fortunately for Seattle, the bug seems to have passed.

“Well, it was really directed – focused – we practiced hard,” coach Pete Carroll said Friday afternoon. “We backed off today because we worked so hard the last couple days. We’re in good shape and we’re ready to go. We’ve done the things that we do. I think everybody’s really tuned in to making sure that we come back and play really good ball this week. It showed throughout the week. We’re in good shape.”

As of the final injury report, only one player remained listed as sick – defensive end Jadeveon Clowney – who is also battling a sports hernia.

Clowney has ultimately been ruled out for Sunday in Carolina, however, the illness that has stricken the locker room no longer looks to be a factor.

Russell Wilson: Seahawks receiver Tyler Lockett is 100% ready to roll

After battling a leg injury and an illness, Seattle Seahawks quarterback believes his wide receiver, Tyler Lockett, is finally ready to roll.

Seahawks quarterback Russell Wilson has been without the full assistance of No. 1 wide receiver Tyler Lockett over the last couple of games as the wideout first battled a leg injury and then the illness that had spread throughout Seattle’s locker room.

“Tyler is a huge part of our offense,” Wilson told reporters Thursday. “We want to get him going throughout the game and just get him the football. He’s such a special player. You definitely notice him on the field when he’s making those plays.”

Lockett has only logged five receptions over his last three outings but with the playoff push a huge factor, he remains critical to the Seahawks’ game plan going forward.

“Yeah, I think Tyler’s ready to roll – 100%,” Wilson said. “He looks fresh and ready to play some great football. We got a three-game push right here. One game at a time. We’re looking forward to that opportunity. Everything that we want is ahead of us. We’re 10-3. There’s no time for ‘woe is me’ or anything like that. We’re ready to roll and we’re looking forward to the opportunity of finding ways to win and getting to the playoffs hopefully and hopefully go a long way.”

Lockett was a full participant in Thursday’s practice but still remains listed on the report with a shin injury.
