NFL Week 3 : Seahawks at Vikings Injury report

The Seahawks will head to Minnesota this weekend looking to bounce back from their Week 2 loss to the Titans.

But they will be without three players for Sunday’s game, including starting right tackle Brandon Shell, who has been ruled out with an ankle injury sustained late in Seattle’s Week 2 loss to Tennessee.

Other two ruled out are receiver Dee Eskridge (concussion) and running back Rashaad Penny (calf), both of whom will miss their second straight game.

The Seahawks have one player listed as questionable, linebacker Benson Mayowa (neck), and no players listed as doubtful. Defensive tackle Bryan Mone, who missed last week’s game with an elbow injury, is not listed on the final injury report, meaning he is ready to go.

For the Vikings, all eyes during pregame warmups will be on Pro-Bowl running back Dalvin Cook, who is questionable with an ankle injury and who did not practice all week. The Vikings will be without starting linebacker Anthony Barr (knee), as well as tackle Christian Darrisaw (groin) and cornerback Harrison Hand (hamstring).

Since 2012, the Seahawks are a league-best 34-9 coming off of a loss, and the way Seahawks coach Pete Carroll sees it, it’s no coincidence that run of bounce-back success began with the arrival of Russell Wilson and Bobby Wagner.

“I think there are two reasons. There’s Russell Wilson and Bobby Wagner, those guys have been there all of that time,” Carroll said. “They’ve been the leaders and focal point guys. They have been the consistent thread that has run all throughout it. We have a way and they fortify the message, but it’s their leadership that I feel is why we have been fortunate to have those guys.”

Asked about Eskridge and if he could return next week, Carroll said, “We will talk about it next week. I don’t have anything to update you on. We’ll know more by Wednesday or so of next week. I’m hoping he will be on his way back.”
