As the NFL season progresses into Week 3, both the Seattle Seahawks and Miami Dolphins face significant injury challenges ahead of their matchup at Lumen Field. The Seahawks listed nine players absent from practice, including tackle George Fant and edge rusher Uchenna Nwosu, alongside doubts for running back Ken Walker III and linebacker Jerome Baker.
Meanwhile, the Dolphins will also be missing quarterback Tua Tagovailoa due to a concussion, relying on backup Skylar Thompson. The absence of stars like Bradley Chubb and Odell Beckham Jr. adds to Miami’s struggles.
Seattle coach Mike Macdonald hopes young players like Stone Forsythe and Zach Charbonnet can step up against Miami's defense. With both teams experiencing significant roster changes, the adage 'next man up' will be crucial as they strive for victory amid adversity.
