Friday Injury Report

The Seahawks have officially ruled out four players for Sunday's contest against the Falcons. Two cornerbacks, Tre Brown and Riq Woolen, will not play in Atlanta as they are both dealing with ankle injuries. Woolen suffered an ankle injury in the Week 5 loss to the Giants and has not been able to practice since, so he will miss his second consecutive game. Brown got injured a week later against San Francisco and was not able to practice all week.

Right tackle Stone Forsythe was unable to practice all week because of a hand injury. With Abraham Lucas and George Fant already out, the Seahawks will now be down to their fourth right tackle. Safety Jerrick Reed II will have to wait at least another week before making his season debut as he has been ruled out. Reed recently returned to practice after spending the first six weeks on the PUP list.

Byron Murphy II will return this week as he has not been given a game status designation. Murphy has not been able to play since Week 3 because of a hamstring injury but after getting limited work in practice this week, the first-round pick will play on Sunday. Tyler Lockett was added to the injury report after sitting out practice with a knee injury on Thursday but practiced on Friday with no limitations so he will play on Sunday as he is not listed on the game status report.

The Falcons have ruled two defensive starters out and listed two players as questionable for Sunday. Linebackers Lorenzo Carter and Troy Andersen will not be available against the Seahawks because of injuries. Carter did not practice all week due to a concussion while Andersen has been dealing with a knee injury. All-Pro safety Justin Simmons is questionable after being limited in practice this week because of a hamstring injury.

Thursday Injury Report

The Seahawks practiced without five players for the second consecutive day but had some new additions to the injury report. Cornerbacks Tre Brown and Riq Woolen as well as tackle Stone Forsythe were unable to practice again on Thursday as they are dealing with injuries. Tyler Lockett was one of two players to miss practice today after not being listed on Wednesday's report as the veteran receiver is dealing with a knee injury. Running back Kenny McIntosh was the other player to be added to the injury report today after not being on it earlier this week.

Rookie first round pick Byron Murphy II practiced in a limited capacity for the second consecutive day and says he will play on Sunday after missing the past three games. "No, no hesitation. I'm confident. Feeling great, I'm great. (I'm) 100% good," said Murphy when asked how he was feeling prior to practice on Thursday. The only other Seahawk to be limited on Thursday was safety Jerrick Reed II as he is working his way back from a knee injury that has prevented him from playing so far this season.

Two interior offensive linemen returned to practice in a full capacity as Connor Williams and Anthony Bradford were not limited on Thursday. Bradford sat out practice on Wednesday with a toe injury while Williams was limited yesterday with a chest injury. After sitting out practice on Wednesday, Laviska Shenault Jr. was able to fully participate today after dealing with a back issue.

The Falcons were missing three players for Thursday's practice including linebackers Lorenzo Carter and Troy Andersen. Both players missed practice because of injuries as Carter is dealing with a concussion and Andersen has a knee injury. Safety Justin Simmons returned to practice in a limited capacity after missing Wednesday's practice due to a hamstring injury.

Wednesday Injury Report

The Seahawks practiced on Wednesday afternoon without five players due to injury including two starting cornerbacks and two offensive linemen. Both Tre Brown and Riq Woolen were unable to participate due to ankle injuries. Woolen has not practiced since injuring his ankle in the Week 5 loss to the Giants and did not play the following week vs. the 49ers. "Riq (Woolen) we'll see throughout the week. It's going to kind of come down to the wire with Riq it seems like," said head coach Mike Macdonald prior to practice on Wednesday. Tre Brown is also suffering from an ankle injury and was forced to exit the 49ers game and did not return.

Two offensive linemen that have been in the starting lineup in recent weeks, tackle Stone Forsythe and guard Anthony Bradford were unable to practice on Wednesday. Forsythe had been starting in place of the veteran tackle George Fant who had been out of the lineup since getting injured in Week 1. Bradford has been starting at right guard but is now dealing with a toe injury that kept him out of practice today. Center Connor Williams was able to practice but was limited because of a chest injury.

Five players were limited on Wednesday including two starters on defense. Among the players that were limited was rookie defensive tackle Byron Murphy II who has not played since Week 3. Murphy suffered a hamstring injury in the win over the Dolphins that forced him to miss the last three games but is getting limited work this week which is a good sign that he's making his way his back to seeing the field on gameday. Leonard Williams (knee) and Boye Mafe (knee) were also limited as they prepare for Week 7 in Atlanta.

Safety Jerrick Reed II was designated to return to practice after spending the first six weeks of the season on the PUP list. Reed's return could be an important addition to the safety room that just lost Rayshawn Jenkins for at least the next four games as he was placed on injured reserve. Safety Julian Love was the lone Seahawk to be listed as a full participant as he has been dealing with a hamstring/quad injury in recent weeks.

The Falcons started their week of practice without three players including safety Justin Simmons. The four-time All-Pro safety, Simmons, did not practice on Wednesday as he is dealing with a hamstring injury. Inside linebacker Troy Andersen missed practice because of a knee injury while outside linebacker Lorenzo Carter was unable to participate due to a concussion. Four players were limited participants but two of them, Bijan Robinson and Matthew Judon, were given a lighter work load for resting purposes.
