The Seahawks were without four players due to injury for their Week 3 game against the Saints, including three top defensive backs, but even with cornerback Devon Witherspoon, safety Julian Love, safety Nick Emmanwori and running back Zach Charbonnet all sidelined, the Seahawks were still able to roll to a 44-13 victory at Lumen Field.
Up next is a short week before traveling to Arizona to face the Cardinals on Thursday night, and while Seahawks coach Mike Macdonald did not know definitively if any of those four players will make it back for that game, he did say that Witherspoon, who has missed two games with a knee injury, was pushing to play on Sunday.
"We're going to take it day by day," Macdonald said when asked about the possible return of players who missed Sunday's game. "Of course we want those guys to play. Spoon gave it a go this morning, he just couldn't quite get there. That was the right decision. I know that's killing him, but the rest of the guys stepped in and played great football in his place. So we'll see."
Only one Seahawks player left the game with an obvious injury, with fullback Robbie Ouzts exiting in the second half with what Macdonald called an ankle injury.
An added bonus of Sunday's lopsided score was that the Seahawks were able to pull several starters early, lightening their workload ahead of a short week, a group that included quarterback Sam Darnold, center Jalen Sundell, left tackle Charles Cross, running back Kenneth Walker III, receivers Cooper Kupp and Jaxon Smith-Njigba, defensive lineman Leonard Williams and outside linebacker DeMarcus Lawrence, linebacker Ernest Jones IV and defensive tackle Jarran Reed.
"That was critical," Macdonald said. "We played a lot of plays on defense in the first half, which is a good problem because of how quickly we were scoring, but that's one of the reasons we were getting guys out a little sooner than we probably would have in a normal game."
