Stone Forsythe has been placed on injured reserve and is out for the upcoming game against the Bills. His absence will impact the Seahawks' offensive line as they look to build on their recent defensive improvements.

Stone Forsythe has been placed on injured reserve due to a hand injury sustained in Week 6, following a challenging stint as the starting right tackle. He struggled significantly in pass protection, leading all NFL tackles with 35 quarterback pressures allowed. Forsythe filled in for Lucas and Fant, starting five games but was replaced by rookie Mike Jerrell, who performed well in his first start. With Forsythe out for a minimum of four games, Jerrell is expected to continue in the starting role unless Fant is ready to play.

Stone Forsythe did not practice on Thursday, raising concerns about his availability for the upcoming game against the Falcons. His absence adds to the list of injuries affecting the Seahawks' roster as they prepare for the matchup.

Stone Forsythe has stepped in as the Seahawks' third-string right tackle and has performed admirably under challenging circumstances. However, he has allowed 35 pressures in six games, nearly double that of his counterpart, Charles Cross, making him a liability in the run game. Despite his effort, Forsythe's struggles highlight the overall issues plaguing the offensive line, which has been one of the league's worst units.

Stone Forsythe struggled significantly against the Giants' pass rush, repeatedly being outmatched by standout rushers Brian Burns and Kayvon Thibodeaux. His performance contributed to the offensive line's overall inability to protect Geno Smith, leading to seven sacks and a lack of effective adjustments throughout the game. Forsythe's difficulties in pass protection highlighted the Seahawks' ongoing issues with their offensive line, which failed to provide Smith with the necessary time to execute plays.
