The Seattle Seahawks will be without starting right tackle Abraham Lucas as they conclude the 2024 season against the Los Angeles Rams at SoFi Stadium. Lucas is sidelined due to a new abdomen injury and did not practice throughout the week. With the Seahawks eliminated from playoff contention, it's prudent to rest him in a game of no consequence. Veteran Stone Forsythe and rookie Mike Jerrell are potential replacements for Lucas in the lineup.

This season has been particularly challenging for Lucas, who has missed over half of the games for the second consecutive year. He began the season on the PUP list following offseason knee surgery and only returned to the field in Week 11. Despite his struggles with injuries, he started the last seven games, contributing to a 5-2 record while allowing 17 pressures and two sacks without any penalties.

With Lucas out, the Seahawks will also miss cornerback Josh Jobe, who injured his knee in a Week 17 win. Jobe, who joined the team’s practice squad in September, had emerged as a starter and had been effective in coverage. Tre Brown is expected to start in his place, with rookie Nehemiah Pritchett also active, and veteran Artie Burns could be elevated from the practice squad if needed. Additionally, rookie defensive tackle Byron Murphy II is questionable due to a back issue, which may lead to further roster adjustments.
