The game is still very much up for grabs, but the Seahawks’ luck with injuries continues to trend in the wrong direction. This time, the two best athletes on the roster have gotten hurt. We’re early in the second quarter of a 7-7 game against the Lions, and both wide receiver DK Metcalf and cornerback Riq Woolen have suffered injuries.
First, Metcalf got sandwiched between two Detroit defenders at the goal line after a brilliant catch and took a shot to the ribs. Later, Metcalf was spotted heading to the locker room as Tyler Lockett went over to check on him.

Pro Bowl cornerback Riq Woolen is also dealing with an upper body injury of his own. Woolen is in the blue medical tent getting evaluated and has also been listed as questionable to return. They’re calling it a chest injury.

If that wasn’t bad enough, Seattle’s pass rush has come out flat yet again and Jared Goff looks to be on pace for a big game.
More as it comes.
