According to team reports, Seattle is managing several bumps while Carolina hopes its full participants can play.<\/p>\n<h2>Seahawks Manage Hamstring, Knee Issues<\/h2>\n<p>The Seahawks list only six players on the initial report. Four were full participants. A.J. Barner, Abraham Lucas, Jarran Reed, and Cody White practiced fully. Their availability for Sunday looks strong.<\/p>\n<p>The two absences are significant. Charles Cross is dealing with a hamstring injury suffered two weeks ago. The initial timeline was two to four weeks. His missed practice suggests he likely remains out.<\/p>\n<p>Coby Bryant is nursing a knee injury from last week\u2019s game. Head coach Mike Macdonald said it likely wouldn\u2019t end his season. The team is clearly being cautious with his recovery this early in the week.<\/p>\n<h2>Panthers Enter With Healthier Roster<\/h2>\n<p>The Panthers\u2019 report lists several players as full participants. Key names include tackle Ikem Ekwonu and cornerback Jaycee Horn. Their practice status makes them probable to play Sunday.<\/p>\n<p>Two players are true question marks. Linebacker Trevin Wallace and defensive lineman Tershawn Wharton did not practice. Wallace has a shoulder issue, and Wharton a hamstring injury.<\/p>\n<p>If they cannot play, replacements are ready. Claudin Cherelus would step in for Wallace. He had eight tackles last week. Bobby Brown III and LaBryan Ray would see more snaps if Wharton is out.<\/p>\n<p><strong>The final injury reports later this week will confirm statuses. The Seahawks must prepare to face the Panthers without two defensive starters. This could challenge their strategy in a must-win game.<\/strong><\/p>\n<h4>Info at your fingertips<\/h4>\n<details>\n<summary>Who is definitely out for the Seahawks this weekend?<\/summary>\n<p>While not officially ruled out, Charles Cross and Coby Bryant did not practice. Their absence makes them very unlikely to play against the Panthers on Sunday.<\/p>\n<\/details>\n<details>\n<summary>Which Panthers starter might sit despite practicing?<\/summary>\n<p>Ikem Ekwonu practiced fully but could be protected. With little at stake this week and a crucial game next, the team may limit his snaps to avoid injury.<\/p>\n<\/details>\n<details>\n<summary>How did the Seahawks\u2019 line hold up without Cross last week?<\/summary>\n<p>Josh Jones filled in effectively against the Rams. His performance allows the team to not rush Cross back from his hamstring strain.<\/p>\n<\/details>\n<details>\n<summary>What is the main injury concern for the Panthers?<\/summary>\n<p>Linebacker Trevin Wallace\u2019s shoulder is a worry. He did not practice and is a starter. His absence would be a blow to their run defense.<\/p>\n<\/details>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<div class=\"code-block code-block-center code-block-6\">\n<hr style=\"border: 0; height: 1px; background: linear-gradient(90deg, rgba(0,0,0,0.1), rgba(0,0,0,0.35), rgba(0,0,0,0.1)); margin: 24px 0 12px;\"\/>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify; margin: 0;\">\niNews covers the latest and most impactful stories across<br \/>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/inews.zoombangla.com\/category\/english\/entertainment\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">entertainment<\/a>,<br \/>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/inews.zoombangla.com\/category\/english\/business-english\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">business<\/a>,<br \/>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/inews.zoombangla.com\/category\/english\/sports\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">sports<\/a>,<br \/>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/inews.zoombangla.com\/category\/english\/international\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">politics<\/a>, and<br \/>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/inews.zoombangla.com\/category\/english\/business-english\/technology\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">technology<\/a>,<br \/>\nfrom AI breakthroughs to major global developments.
