The Seahawks head to Arizona this week, the temporary home of the San Francisco 49ers, where they'll wrap up their regular season. While the 49ers will again be missing several key starters again due to injury this week, the Seahawks look to be relatively healthy heading into the week, but as always there will be some injuries to monitor as the week progresses.
Friday's Injury Report
The Seahawks will be without at least two players due to injury, as running back DeeJay Dallas (ankle) and cornerback Jayson Stanley (hamstring) have been ruled out for Sunday's game. Five players are listed as questionable: starting left guard Mike Iupati, who missed last week's game with a neck injury, tight end Greg Olsen (foot), who last week returned from injured reserve, running back Carlos Hyde (illness), safety Damarious Randall (foot) and right tackle Brandon Shell (ankle/non-injury related). Shell was initially not on the injury report, indicating he is good to go, but as Pete Carroll explained after Friday's practice, there is a close-contact situation for Shell, who has not tested positive for COVID, putting his availability in question.
As has been the case nearly all season, the 49ers' injury report is a lengthy one, and San Francisco will be without a number of key players who have been ruled out, including two of their top receivers, Brandon Aiyuk and Deebo Samuel, cornerback Richard Sherman, linebacker Dre Greenlaw, defensive tackle Javon Kinlaw and nickel corner K'Waun Williams.

Wednesday's Injury Report
The Seahawks held six players out of practice on Sunday, five with injury and one, running back Carlos Hyde, due to illness. Three of the players who were non-participants Wednesday missed last weekend's game against the Rams—running back DeeJay Dallas, guard Mike Iupati and safety Damarious Randall—while another, cornerback Jayson Stanley, left that game with a hamstring injury. Tight end Greg Olsen was also held out, though a day off for Olsen doesn't come as a big surprise seeing as he just played in his first game in over a month.
Among the six players who were limited participants was right tackle Brandon Shell, which is a good sign that he is getting healthier from the ankle injury that has kept him out of four of the past five games. Shell was active last weekend and available as an emergency option if needed, but Seahawks coach Pete Carroll said they wanted to give him another weekend off to avoid the potential for re-injury.
