With both teams dealing with several injuries, the Seahawks will have to lean on unheralded contributors against the Dolphins for a chance to start 3-0.
and Miami Dolphins this week heading towards Sunday's matchup at Lumen Field, it looks like November or December already for both organizations.
Even considering their injury situation, Seattle won't get much sympathy from Miami, who will be traveling to the Pacific Northwest with quarterback Tua Tagovailoa sidelined by a concussion, thrusting backup Skylar Thompson into action for his third career start. The team already has standout pass rusher Bradley Chubb and receiver Odell Beckham Jr. on the reserve/PUP list, so they will be missing plenty of star power on Sunday as well.
Away from Forsythe, with Walker expected to sit for a second straight game, the Seahawks will turn to Zach Charbonnet and potentially a bigger dose of Kenny McIntosh to fill the void in the backfield. At this stage, McIntosh still has much to prove with minimal pass protection reps to evaluate him on, but a steady performance in a rotational role on Sunday would go a long way towards earning more trust from Macdonald and the coaching staff.
With Baker missing most of training camp and the entire preseason with a lingering hamstring injury, Knight has been forced to grow up quickly under the coaching of Macdonald, who has been hesitant to provide too many compliments for the rookie up to this point due to lofty expectations for his linebackers in general.
