Wednesday Injury Report

After having three walkthroughs this week, the Seahawks have ruled three players out and three questionable for Thursday night's divisional matchup vs. the 49ers. The defense will play without three starters, Riq Woolen, Uchenna Nwosu and Byron Murphy II, as they have been officially ruled out because of injuries. Riq Woolen suffered an ankle injury last week against the Giants and has not been able to practice the past few days. Woolen returned to the game after injuring his ankle but would have to exit again as he was unable to continue playing. While the third-year cornerback won't play this week, he isn't expected to miss a lot of time. "We'll see next week, but he looks good right now," said head coach Mike Macdonald. "He's moving around alright, he's just not ready to go this game."

Byron Murphy II and Uchenna Nwosu will not play as expected as they have not been able to practice all week. Murphy has not been able to get any work in during practice since getting injured in Week 3 vs. the Dolphins so he will remain out another week. Nwosu made his season debut against the Giants after missing the first four games due to a knee injury he sustained in the preseason finale but would have to leave the game with a thigh injury. He is expected to miss a significant amount of time as coach Macdonald said the team will place Nwosu on injured reserve. "Unfortunately, we are going to put Uchenna (Nwosu) on IR. Timeline, we are not sure, but we think there is a really good chance to get him back by the end of the season.

In addition to three defensive starters being ruled out, three more defenders are questionable for tomorrow night. Outside linebackers Derick Hall and Boye Mafe as well as safety Julian Love are questionable to play as they are dealing with injuries. Mafe has missed the past two games because of a knee injury so he is questionable given the short week. He has been able to fully participate in practice the past two days which is a good sign he could return on Thursday. Meanwhile Hall wasn't able to practice in the first two practices of the week but was able to fully participate in Wednesday's walkthrough. Coach Macdonald expects both Mafe and Hall to play and Julian Love to be a game-time decision. "With Derick (Hall), Boye (Mafe) and Julian (Love), we'll see through tomorrow," said coach Macdonald. "Julian will take it probably all of the way up until the game. Those other two guys, we're confident they'll be out there."

The 49ers have also been dealing with injuries as they have ruled out four players for Thursday, including Talanoa Hufanga. Hufanga has been placed on injured reserve because of torn ligaments in his wrist. Also ruled out is their kicker, Jake Moody, who is suffering from an ankle injury. Cornerback Charvarius Ward is one of two players who are questionable as he is dealing with a knee injury. After missing Monday's practice, Ward was able to participate in a limited capacity in each of their walkthroughs the past two days.

Tuesday Injury Report

The Seahawks held another walkthrough on Tuesday afternoon in preparation for Thursday night's division matchup vs. San Francisco. The team released an estimated injury report had there been a full practice and the same four players that did not participate on Monday were nonparticipants again today. Linebackers Uchenna Nwosu and Derick Hall were two of the players who did not get work in on Tuesday due to injuries. Nwosu will be unavailable on Thursday night due to a thigh injury he suffered in his season debut last week. Hall is dealing with a foot injury and his status for Week 6 is still unknown.

Defensive tackle Byron Murphy II is still unable to return to practice in any capacity as he is working his way through a hamstring injury. He left the Week 3 win over the Dolphins with the injury and has been unable to practice since. The fourth player to sit out on Tuesday is cornerback Riq Woolen who suffered an ankle injury in the team's most recent game. The team will have a better idea of his availability as the week progresses.

Four players were limited in Monday's walkthrough, but safety Julian Love is the only one of the group to be limited again on Tuesday. Love exited the Week 5 loss in Detroit with a hamstring injury but was able to suit up and play against his former team, the New York Giants, last week. After being limited on Monday, safety Rayshawn Jenkins (hand), linebacker Boye Mafe (knee) and tight end Pharaoh Brown (groin) fully participated today.

Monday Injury Report

The Seahawks held a walkthrough on Monday afternoon and released an estimated participation report had they fully practiced. Four defensive players missed practice due to injuries including cornerback Riq Woolen. Woolen suffered an ankle injury in the Week 5 loss to the Giants that forced him to exit the game. He would return after initially exiting the game but was unable to finish it due to the injury. It's still unclear what his availability for Thursday night will be but the team expects to know more as the week goes on. Similarly, Derick Hall missed practice because of a foot injury but his status for the upcoming matchup with the 49ers is unknown at the moment.

Linebacker Uchenna Nwosu did not participate on Monday after suffering a thigh injury in Sunday's loss to the Giants. Nwosu missed the first four games of the season due to a knee injury and made his season debut in Week 5. The debut was short lived however as Nwosu exited the game early in the second quarter with a thigh injury. In Monday's press conference, Seahawks head coach Mike Macdonald said that Nwosu will not play on Thursday. "We won't get him back Thursday, and then we'll see here in the next few days if it is going to be longer than that," said Macdonald.

Rookie defensive tackle Byron Murphy II is in danger of missing another game due to a hamstring injury that forced him to exit the Week 3 win over the Dolphins. He has not been able to practice since sustaining the injury and may need another week to get ready given the short turnaround this week. "Byron, we're still not sure on the timetable. It looks like it might take one more week," said Macdonald.

Boye Mafe missed his second consecutive game on Sunday but was one of four players limited on Monday. He has been dealing with a knee injury but is doing everything in his power to return against the 49ers after missing the past two weeks. "Boye wants to play, he's working his tail off," Macdonald said. "It's a matter of if we can pull the trigger or not at this point if it's safe for him to go and he feels right. We'll see, it's going to come down to the wire right now with Boye."

The 49ers did not practice on Monday but released an estimated report had they held a practice. Six players were listed as 'did not participate' due to injuries. Two starters in the secondary, safety Talanoa Hufanga and Charvarius Ward were among the non-participants as they are dealing with a wrist and knee injury respectively. Tight end George Kittle and linebacker Fred Warner were two of the three players that were limited participants.
