Seahawks, Browns injury reports on Sunday AM

Jerome Ford, Tyler Lockett news could impact today, Deshaun Watson’s is longer term

Week 8 for the Seattle Seahawks and Cleveland Browns might be the beginning of something significant or a grind to achieve their objectives. If there is no tie, one of the teams advances to a commanding 5-2 record, while the other falls to 4-3.

In a season with 17 games, the difference is just one game, but at this point in the game, it is significant.

Throughout the NFL season, injuries have a significant impact on teams, and the Browns vs. Seahawks game is no exception. Due to injuries, Seattle may have to rely on the oldest player still playing in the league, Jason Peters, while quarterback Deshaun Watson is out of the game.

While the host club has two players labeled as questionable for the game, Cleveland has four. We heard a few updates about those injuries during the course of the night and early Sunday morning, starting with Browns running back Jerome Ford:

It appears like the team will make a careful judgment at game time on this one. The front office and coaching staff may need to take it cautious given that Cleveland’s bye week has already passed, especially with the potential for further injuries.

Additionally, the Seahawks released an update on wide receiver Tyler Lockett that reaffirmed what head coach Pete Carroll had stated earlier in the week.

Furthermore, according to a number of reports, Watson won’t be placed on injured reserve, therefore he should be back in four games:

Similar news was reported by Schefter, who added that it’s “unlikely that it’s longer than two weeks.”
