Wagner's situation is truly much more questionable because of the pectoral muscle injury he suffered last week against Cincinnati. He was unable to practice on Wednesday or Thursday, was limited on Friday in a light session in which players didn't wear helmets, after which head coach Pete Carroll said Wagner's status truly won't be determined until Sunday morning.

 

 

 

"He's tough enough to play with it, it's just whether it's the right thing to do, to get him back to health," Carroll said. "We need to judge that when we get right up to game time. With another game coming up on Thursday, we have to take that into account as well, it might be a tough turnaround if he does play. We'll just take in all the factors and figure it out."

If Wagner is unable to play against the Panthers, the Seahawks would likely move outside linebacker K.J. Wright to the middle, starting a domino effect of lineup moves. But further complicating the Seahawks plans if Wagner is out is the fact that backup inside linebacker Brock Croyle is also questionable with a knee injury. The Seahawks promoted linebacker Nick Moody off the practice squad earlier in the week to provide more depth, but Moody is doubtful to play after suffering an ankle injury in practice this week.

It's hardly an ideal situation for a Seattle defense looking to regain its mojo after a disappointing loss to Cincinnati last week, a game in which the Seahawks relinquished a 24-7 lead in the fourth quarter.

Though Carroll on Friday praised the rest of the Seahawks' linebackers (as defensive coordinator Kris Richard also did a day earlier), Wagner's importance to the Seattle defense cannot be understated. He's fast, aggressive and instinctive and the rare type of middle linebacker who is just as valuable in pass coverage as he is in run defense.

Probably depends a lot on the importance that they put on this game... which with their record is probably fairly high.

The injury sounds fairly severe (if he's not practicing), but probably just a pain issue... I'm sure he can probably play thru it, but the question is whether they want to take the chance on him hurting it worse for just one game, or let him rest it another week and be back after that.

    • Hello, soccer fans [crickets, tumbleweed flies by]. The World Cup kicks off in less than 2 weeks and, well, 🇺🇸USA USA USA🇺🇸 and all. We beat Senegal 3-2 yesterday in a tune-up friendly at BoA, with Christian Pulisic finally entering the scoring column.  How will we do in the World Cup once our tournament kicks off on the 12th? Well, there are 48 teams (assuming Iran is there) and it feels like one of two thing happens: we get grouped for the first time since '98, or we make it to the Round of 16 for the third time in the last four World Cups. I tried out the lottery for an Atlanta game and struck out, so yesterday was as World Cup as I'll get for in-person ($285/ticket for like Norway vs $39/ticket for USMNT right beforehand was a layup).  The U.S. has a travel-heavy schedule in group play, playing in LA, Seattle and LA. Real road warrior mentality being built. Glad the east coast gets worse kickoff times for a NA World Cup than a Qatar World Cup.
    • Well, that's the thing. Drafting players only for their physical measurables as you are suggesting only really happened during 2024, and X unfortunately has become the poster child for that. To be clear, it's not necessarily about drafting RAS over skill, but RAS over NFL-readiness and/or a solid body of work. Lots of players show skill in college, but those skills don't necessarily translate to the NFL for a multitude of reasons. But, getting back to the main point, to be clear, I believe that our FO is still enamored with physical gifts (who wouldn't be?), but now they're letting Dr. Eric Eager's proprietary system--his "secret sauce" prioritize the players that the Panthers draft, and it seems like it weighs not only a solid body of work, relative to a college career of course, but consistent gradual improvement as evidenced by production pretty highly. 
    • Its a good article about how pathetically bad our past drafts ('23 and '24) have been. Building the team in '23 since we weren't ready yet and taking your qb in '24 made so much more sense in hindsight. Ladd McConkey over XL is pretty much a given but not sure it does as much to change Bryce's trajectory as the author suggests.  As bad as '23 and '24 drafts were, the '25 and '26 really give me hope.
