The Seahawks did not escape today’s preseason finale against the Packers unscathed. They lost the game 19-15, and also suffered what sound like a few relatively minor injuries. The one possible exception there is linebacker Devin Bush, who had to leave the game after getting hurt on a punt.
After it was over, head coach Pete Carroll told reporters Bush suffered a concussion. He also says safety Joey Blount left with a shoulder injury.

Bush was expected to take over the starting inside linebacker spot next to Bobby Wagner when the season started.
However, Jordyn Brooks recently was activated from the PUP list and appears to be ready to resume his duties – Carroll told reporters after the game he’d be “shocked” if Brooks isn’t playing Week 1 against the Rams.
