Why Clark expects Geno Smith and the Seahawks to get back on track this week
Ryan Clark explains why he’s picking Geno Smith and the Seahawks to beat the Cardinals on Sunday.
The Seattle Seahawks could be without two key offensive players in their game against the Arizona Cardinals on Sunday.
Wide receiver DK Metcalf is dealing with hip and rib injuries and the Seahawks will likely decide his status in pregame warmups, a source told ESPN’s Adam Schefter. Additionally, backup running back Zach Charbonnet is not expected to play due to a hamstring injury, the source said.
Both are officially questionable to play.
Metcalf has played the past two weeks despite being listed as questionable due to a rib injury. However, according to a source, there are greater concerns about his availability on Sunday than in the previous two weeks.
Metcalf, who has a team-high 22 catches for 337 yards and two touchdowns, missed practice all week before playing a limited session on Friday.
Charbonnet, the team’s second-round draft pick in April, did not practice this week. Pete Carroll said Thursday the hamstring injury wasn’t serious, but the Seahawks coach added: “He can feel it and he’s a running back, so it makes a difference at that point.”
DeeJay Dallas is expected to be Seattle’s No. 2 running back behind Kenneth Walker III on Sunday, according to a source.
