Week 3 Injury Report: Seahawks vs. Dolphins

The Seahawks have listed two players out, two doubtful and five as questionable for Sunday’s matchup with the Miami Dolphins. Linebacker Uchenna Nwosu has been ruled out for Week 3 as he has been unable to return to practice since sustaining an injury in the final game of the preseason. Tackle George Fant left the Week 1 win over the Broncos with a knee injury that has kept him out ever since. Fant was unable to play in New England and has been downgraded to out for the upcoming matchup with the Dolphins.

Two starters are listed as doubtful including running back Kenneth Walker III. Walker had a strong performance in the season opener before exiting late in the game with an oblique injury. The third year back returned to practice in a limited capacity on Friday but is in danger of missing his second consecutive game. “It’s not looking great right now for the game with Ken Walker but he’s working his tail off and getting better,” said head coach Mike Macdonald on Friday afternoon.

Also doubtful for Week 3 is inside linebacker Jerome Baker. Baker, a free agent acquisition who played for Miami each of the last six seasons, had been dealing with a hamstring injury throughout offseason workouts and training camp. He started in the team’s first two games of the season but left the game in Week 2 and did not return. “Bake is working his butt off. He tried to really give it a go, but it doesn’t look good right now,” said coach Macdonald. “Everything is going well, it’s just probably not good enough at this point”

Boye Mafe is one of the five Seahawks players questionable for Sunday as he is working his way back from a knee injury he suffered late in the overtime win over the Patriots. “He is trending positively, he looked good today,” said coach Macdonald when asked about Mafe. “We’ll monitor him over the next couple of days, but it looked good with Boye.” Tight end Pharaoh Brown has yet to make his Seahawks’ debut as he has been dealing with a foot injury since training camp but is making progress towards returning to game action. Wide receiver Laviska Shenault Jr. is also suffering from a foot injury and is questionable to play on Sunday after missing practice on Friday.

A number of starters on defense including Jarran Reed, Leonard Williams, Devon Witherspoon and Tyrel Dodson were listed on the injury report throughout the week but fully participated in practice on Friday and are not listed with game…
