The Seattle Seahawks defensive position has handled a number of accidents throughout their three-game dropping streak, however a significant reinforcement seems to be on his approach.
Rookie defensive lineman Byron Murphy II has missed each loss since injuring his hamstring in opposition to the Miami Dolphins again in Week 3. When requested about how hopeful he was that Murphy would play subsequent week, Seahawks head coach Mike Macdonald gave a optimistic outlook on his impending return.

Murphy has recorded six tackles (one sort out for loss), a half-sack, a QB hit, and three pressures in his three video games performed. His return would give the Seahawks a full set of accessible inside defensive linemen, and never a second too quickly.
Macdonald didn’t have any damage timetables for both cornerback Tre Brown (ankle) or Artie Burns (toe). At Thursday evening’s post-game press convention, Macdonald mentioned Burns re-aggravated his toe damage suffered in preseason.
As for proper sort out Abe Lucas, who stays on the PUP checklist with a knee situation that’s induced him to overlook a lot of final season and all of this season, the standing stays unchanged so far as if/when he’ll return.
“There’s nonetheless not a particular timeline with Abe (Abraham Lucas). We haven’t designated him to return, so this week can be out of the query, however hopefully it’s quickly.”
