On September 7th, alright? Let's talk about the Seahawks' secondary situation heading into their first game. It's looking a little thin, especially with two key guys potentially sidelined. We're talking about Nick Mnworry, who's been dealing with that ankle surgery all off-season and Ty Okata, who's been missing practice lately with a hamstring issue. This means the team might have to lean on some other players to step up. They did bring in Deanthany Bell, a veteran safety to the practice squad over the weekend. The word is, he'll likely be called up to the active roster for the season opener, so he could see some significant snaps. It's always tough when you're missing key pieces, especially in the defensive backfield, where communication is everything. Mnworry was a bright spot last year, and Okata was looking like a solid backup. Losing them, even for a game, puts a lot of pressure on the guys behind them to perform. Looking at the full injury report from Monday, it's not just those two. We've got Tori Horton with a hamstring and Josh Jones dealing with a knee.
On the flip side, AJ Barner, Anthony Brafford, Julie and Neal and Emmanuel Wilson were all able to participate fully, which is good news for those. Positions. So, the Seahawks are definitely facing some challenges in their defensive backfield as they prepare to face the Patriots. It'll be interesting to see how they adjust and who steps up when the game actually kicks off. That's your update from NFL News Today, powered by AI. I'm Kory with the story.
