Saunders Jersey nfl draft , Wash. (AP) — Outside of middle linebacker
Bobby Wagner, no one on the Seattle Seahawks defense has proven more valuable
this season than safety Bradley McDougald.And just in time for a visit from the
leading passer in the NFL, the Seahawks aren’t sure if McDougald will be able to
play Sunday against Kansas City.McDougald’s knee injury is one of several that
could change Seattle’s lineup for a Week 16 matchup where a victory and some
help from others could clinch an NFC wild-card berth for the Seahawks.McDougald
has been dealing with a patellar tendon injury that flared up during the first
half last week against San Francisco and forced him to become a spectator for
the vast majority of the loss to the 49ers. Seattle coach Pete Carroll said
McDougald is away from the team for a few days getting additional treatment on
his knee and is expected back by the end of the week.But when asked if he
thought McDougald would be able to play against Patrick Mahomes and the NFL’s
top passing offense, Carroll could only
say

Jersey , “possibly.” If McDougald can’t play against the Chiefs it would
be second-year safety Delano Hill stepping in. Hill played 52 snaps last week
against San Francisco.Seattle is equally unsettled at right guard and
potentially with its depth in the backfield.The Seahawks placed guard Jordan
Simmons on injured reserve Tuesday due to a knee injury suffered in the loss to
San Francisco and it’s uncertain whether D.J. Fluker’s injured hamstring will be
healthy enough for him to return this week.The injuries have left Seattle
possibly needing a major shuffle on an offensive line that has helped create the
top rushing offense in the NFL.Ethan Pocic struggled last week when he stepped
in for Simmons. Seattle has used George Fant as an extra offensive lineman for
significant snaps throughout the season and his ability to play tackle could
allow some shuffling among the starters in the short-term until Fluker can
return.“Let’s wait and see on that one. We’ll wait and see how this goes,”
Carroll said. “Jordan, he needs likely to get some work done on his knee to get
him back so he’s out. There are some decisions that we’re making. Let’s see how
the week goes.”Seattle signed running back Bo Scarbrough off the Jacksonville
practice squad to take Simmons’ roster spot and that’s partly due to depth
concerns at running back. Seattle played last week without rookie first-round
pick Rashaad Penny due to a knee injury and Carroll said there was enough wear
on starter Chris Carson and backup Mike Davis that they needed the extra depth
in case Penny isn’t back this week.“It’s uncertain if he can get back. We don’t
know that,” Carroll said. “He’s really determined to try and make it back and
Friday is the day he can try to go for it and show that he can run and go for
it.”Amid all the injury
news
Kendall Fuller
Jersey , the Seahawks believe veteran linebacker K.J. Wright will be back
after missing the past five games. Wright hasn’t played since Week 10 after
aggravating a knee problem that first popped up in the preseason and required
surgery.Wright said when he returned in Week 8 against Detroit that he took on
too much and that eventually led to a setback. When he returns this time, he
said he’s going to be smarter about his play count and ramp up toward being
ready for a full load when the postseason arrives — assuming Seattle gets
there.“We’re going to be smarter this time. We’ve got a good game plan going,”
Wright said. “Ease it in these last two games, make the playoffs and kick it off
from there.” The latestChiefs’ Mahomes-to-Hill connection is setting NFL on fire
