The Seahawks and Rams both hope to have all hands on deck at receiver on Sunday, but DK Metcalf and Puka Nacua's statuses remain up in the air.
Closing in on Sunday's critical Week 9 NFC West battle at Lumen Field, it remains to be seen whether or not the Seattle Seahawks and Los Angeles Rams will have their full arsenal of receiving weapons available with DK Metcalf and Puka Nacua dealing with knee injuries.from sprained MCL on Sunday, Seahawks coach Mike Macdonald wasn't quite as confident in his weekly radio show on KIRO 97.3 on Friday morning, acknowledging the receiver may not be ready to go as anticipated.
Without Metcalf, Seattle struggled to move the ball downfield through the air against Buffalo, as quarterback Geno Smith didn't have a single completion of 21 or more yards. 15 of his 27 targets went to running backs and tight ends, while Tyler Lockett caught just one pass for nine yards and the duo of Jake Bobo and Laviska Shenault combined for two catches for 25 yards, as the receiving corps as a whole failed to compensate for Metcalf's absence.
Seattle may not be the only team missing a key receiver on Sunday either, as Nacua banged his knee during practice on Thursday and sat out on Friday for precautionary reasons. The injury happened to the same knee that led to him missing time in training camp and sitting out five games on injured reserve earlier this year, creating a bit of an initial scare for the organization.
"Fortunately there's nothing structurally ," McVay said. "He'll be listed as questionable, but I wouldn't bet against this guy. My expectation is he’s going to do everything in his power to be ready to roll, and that's the mindset that we have."
