Seahawks get good injury news from Christmas Eve practice

The Seattle Seahawks will not be practicing today because of the holiday, but we did get a Christmas Eve injury report attached to the practice last night. Expect an estimated report later today, but we’ll likely not learn much more than what they gave yesterday. Let’s take a look.

Seattle Seahawks

Really clean, especially given how many key players went down late in that Thursday Night tilt and how late we are into the season in general. Only six total players are listed, although this does not include players on injured reserve such as Tory Horton and Elijah Arroyo. We didn’t get much of an update yesterday on those players, so we remain in a holding pattern there.

A.J. Barner, Abraham Lucas, Jarran Reed, and Cody White showed up with an assortment of afflictions, but none were considered serious enough to hold them out of practice to any extent. Full Participation for all four of them. It would be highly unlikely for any of them to miss this game, or be held up in any significant way given they’re fully practicing on Wednesday.

Two players get the dreaded Did Not Participate tag, and they’re both players that I suspect most Seahawks fans were fully prepared to not have this weekend. The first is Charles Cross, who was injured two weeks ago against the Colts and was designated with a 2-4 week injury. This Sunday will be exactly two weeks since the injury, so it was never overly likely he’d be ready.

With Josh Jones playing effectively last week against the Rams, it makes sense to take it easy and allow Cross to come back without getting rushed. Particularly with the nature of hamstring injuries, which can linger on and relapse in the blink of an eye. While we don’t yet know for sure, I’d go forward assuming Cross misses at least one more game.

Then, you have Coby Bryant, the one player who came out of that Rams-Seahawks game on the Seahawks side that looks like he will miss time beyond just the end of that game. His knee injury currently has him not practicing, and while Coach Macdonald did say he didn’t think it would end his season, he wouldn’t go much further than that.
