will wrap up their 2018 regular

Doug
Baldwin Jersey Green , with the Cardinals having been eliminated weeks ago
and the Seahawks owning one of the two NFC Wild Card berths, it will serve as a
tune up for the Hawks as they prepare for the postseason. For the Cardinals, a
loss would decrease the likelihood of having the first overall pick in the 2019
NFL Draft, a position they currently hold due to having the worst record in the
entire NFL. Not really all that noteworthy, but it is interesting to consider
that the only teams the Cards have defeated in the course of amassing their 3-11
record are the San Francisco 49ers (twice) and the Green Bay Packers. In any
case, the Seahawks injury report for the game looks very good compared to how it
looked heading into the Week 16 game against the Kansas City Chiefs, and the
Hawks should be at close to full strength. Germain Ifedi appears set to start at
right tackle after having missed the game against Kansas City, and D.J. Fluker
is once again listed as questionable. Fluker played the majority of the game
against the Chiefs after J.R. Sweezy went down with a foot injury that is likely
to keep him out again this week, so guard will certainly be a position worth
watching. It would not be a surprise for the team to keep eight offensive
linemen active for the game, just as they did last week, which is one more than
usual. On the defensive side Dion Jordan, Bradley McDougald and Tedric Thompson
are all listed as questionable, and even if they play, are likely to see their
time limited in order to ensure their health for the postseason. For Arizona,
their injury report is pretty empty, with only three players on it. Tight end
Ricky Seals-Jones is out with a shoulder injury, and defensive ends Markus
Golden and Benson Mayowa are both listed as questionable. That said, the reason
their injury report is so empty is largely because huge portions of the team is
already on injured reserve. The Cardinals have 17 players on IR (Seattle has
nine players on IR, including only two starters. Unless you also want to count
Mychal Kendricks as a starter, in which case they have three starters on IR). Of
those 17 players on IR, some of them areFormer first round pick Robert Nkemdiche
(who as a first round pick has 4.5 sacks and 44 tackles in his first three
seasons),Starting middle linebacker Josh Bynes, who was second on the team in
tackles until being injured in Week 12, Six different offensive linemen who have
started a game for the Cardinals this season (Jeremy Vujnovich, Korey
Cunningham, Justin Pugh, Mike Iupati, John Wetzel and D.J. Humphries) and a
seventh (A.Q. Shipley) who was slated to be the starting center before being
injured in training

C. J.
Prosise Jersey Green , Christian Kirk, who was leading the team in
receiving yards and was second in receptions and receiving touchdowns before
breaking his foot in Week 13 andstarting kicker Phil Dawson, who will turn 44
next month. So, hopefully the Seahawks won¡¯t have too much trouble at home with
the Cardinals, even if they rest their starters because a good number of Arizona
starters are already missing. In any case, Frank Clark has one more regular
season game this season to try and improve his market value. In addition, while
it would take a Herculean effort to tie or break the franchise single season
record for sacks, if there was ever an opponent against which Clark might be
able to set the single game record for sacks (4.0 is the current record, which
five different Seahawks have accomplished, most recently Chris Clemons against
Green Bay in 2012) and tie or break Michae

preseason: Seahawks vs. Colts 1st half video highlights The 1st half is in the
books for the Seattle Seahawks and the Indianapolis Colts in their respective
2018 NFL preseason openers. Indianapolis is nursing a 9-7 lead at halftime, and
the first-team players on offense and defense are pretty much done for the
night.Russell Wilson only had one series, and it was a good one, as he went 12
plays, 75 yards, and capped it off with a scramble drill touchdown to TE Nick
Vannett. Rookie running back Rashaad Penny contributed on that scoring play by
blocking the oncoming pass rusher. Chris Carson has also looked great in his
return from injury, with 26 yards on 4 carries.On defense, it¡¯s been a little
bit up-and-down. They¡¯ve prevented big plays but have had some issues in run
support and covering running backs in the passing game, but there have been
bright spots. Shaquem Griffin made four tackles in his first NFL defensive
series, Shaquill recorded a pass defensed on Andrew Luck on the game¡¯s opening
drive, Justin Coleman nearly had an interception, and Barkevious Mingo and
Rasheem Green each recorded sacks.Courtesy of Samuel Gold, check out the 1st
