The Seattle Seahawks are facing new injury challenges as they prepare for their upcoming game against the Atlanta Falcons. After placing cornerback Artie Burns on injured reserve, starting safety Rayshawn Jenkins has also been sidelined due to a broken hand.
Jenkins, who has been a key player in Seattle's revamped defense, struggled in the last game against the 49ers, recording only two tackles. His absence will force the Seahawks to consider alternatives like K'Von Wallace or Coby Bryant to fill the void.
Coach Mike Macdonald has also signed Ty Okada from the practice squad and noted that Jerrick Reed II is returning from the PUP list, although his readiness for the upcoming game remains uncertain. The team will need to adapt quickly to maintain their defensive strength without Jenkins.
