Wednesday's Injury Report
The Seahawks kicked off their practice week with quarterback Sam Darnold back on the field, albeit as a limited participant. Seahawks coach Mike Macdonald said the plan for Darnold, who missed last weekend's game with a glute injury suffered in the season opener, will be to ramp up his workload during the week before the team makes a decision on his status for Sunday's game against the Commanders.
Also limited was running back Jadarian Price, who left Sunday's win over the Cardinals with a chest injury, as well as running back George Holani (knee), linebacker Ernest Jones IV (neck), receiver Cooper Kupp (back) and fullback Brady Russell (chest). Only two players did not practice Wednesday, safety Ty Okada, who missed the first two games with a hamstring injury, and defensive tackle Brandon Pili, who exited Sunday's game with a concussion.
Safety Nick Emmanwori (ankle) was a full participant Wednesday after being limited in practice each of the first two weeks of the season.
The Commanders injury report lists 16 players, six of whom did not practice Wednesday. That includes quarterback Jayden Daniels, who left last weekend's game with a left elbow injury. Marcus Mariota is expected to start in Daniels' place this week. Also not practicing on Wednesday were right guard Samuel Cosmi (concussion, throat), safety Nick Cross (illness), defensive tackle Javon Kinlaw (back, shoulder), linebacker Frankie Luvu (groin) and tight end Chigoziem Okonkwo (hamstring).
