The Seattle Seahawks have some injury concerns to monitor ahead of their Monday Night Football matchup against the Chicago Bears, with Leonard Williams and Jadarian Price among the players listed on their first practice report of the week.
Seattle opened its preparations with 18 players carrying an injury designation, making for a lengthy report as the team begins getting ready for a crucial matchup. While some absences could be precautionary, Williams' status is worth watching after he appeared on the list with an Achilles injury.
The veteran defensive lineman was a limited participant, raising questions about his availability against Chicago. Achilles issues can be particularly concerning for players who rely on explosiveness and mobility, so the Seahawks will likely keep a close eye on his progress throughout the week.
Price was also limited as he continues his return to the field. His availability could be important for Seattle's ground game, especially with the team hoping to establish a more consistent rushing attack.
Several other Seahawks were unable to participate in practice because of injuries, including Charles Cross, Rashid Shaheed and Uchenna Nwosu. Tyrice Knight and Drake Thomas were among those who joined Williams and Price as limited participants.
