Rayshawn Jenkins has been sidelined since October 10 due to injury, which has impacted the Seahawks' defensive lineup. With Jenkins on injured reserve, Julian Love has taken on a more prominent role, leading the team in tackles. His absence highlights the challenges the Seahawks face on defense, as they have also parted ways with both starting linebackers from the season. Jenkins' injury adds to the uncertainty surrounding the team's defensive cohesion.
