What You Need To Know: Seahawks at Bears
Linebacker Mychal Kendricks signed with the Seahawks late last week and is expected to see play time tonight with starting linebackers Bobby Wagner and K.J. Wright among those out for tonight's game due to injury.
Injuries are also evident this week when it comes to Seattle's secondary depth, with the club making the move to sign safety Shalom Luani from the practice squad and releasing veteran defensive tackle Tom Johnson. The Seahawks' starting safeties, Bradley McDougald and Earl Thomas, however, are healthy and looking to build upon their three-interception performance from last week's game in Denver.
Russell Wilson and the Seahawks are hoping to make a memory similar to one they made in Chicago back in 2012.
