After a third straight day of walkthroughs, the Seattle Seahawks game designations are out for Thursday’s pivotal Week 6 showdown against the San Francisco 49ers.
The immediate bad news is that starting cornerback Riq Woolen’s ankle injury will keep him out. We already know that Uchenna Nwosu is going to IR and Byron Murphy II should be back next week against the Atlanta Falcons.
For some good news, Mike Macdonald indicated that both Derick Hall and Boye Mafe are likely to play. Mafe has missed the past two weeks with a knee contusion, while Hall left the Giants game with a foot injury. If they both play, then Seattle’s starting defensive line is effectively what we saw from Weeks 1-3 but without Byron Murphy II. Meanwhile, safety Julian Love is a game-time decision with a hamstring injury.
Hall and Mafe were both full participants in the walkthrough, so it’s a good sign that they’re good to go.
Meanwhile, here’s the 49ers injury report, with an extra note that Talanoa Hufanga will go on injured reserve with his wrist injury. Rookie Malik Mustapha will take his place. The 49ers also signed kicker Matthew Wright due to the ankle injury to Jake Moody.
