For this week’s game against the San Francisco 49ers, the quarterback position is problematic for the Seattle Seahawks. The organisation appears to be taking preventative measures to make sure that starting quarterback Geno Smith will be available for this weekend. Smith has been limited in practice due to a groyne ailment. On the off event that Smith can’t play this Sunday, the organisation has signed another veteran quarterback.
Ian Rapoport of Insider Reports states that quarterback Sean Mannion has been signed by the Seahawks to their practice squad. According to him, the organisation signed Mannion in response to Smith’s injury, which may suggest that the starting quarterback this week is dubious. Since being selected by the St. Louis Rams in 2015—who changed their name to the Los Angeles Rams the following year—Manion has been a member of the league. After that, he signed a contract with the Minnesota Vikings in 2019 and stayed there until 2021. After that, he became a free agent.
For the entirety of his career, Mannion has been the backup quarterback, hence his statistics are not the best for an NFL quarterback.Over the course of his eight-year career, he has amassed 573 passing yards, one touchdown, and three interceptions. In his lone start in 2021 with the Vikings, he passed for 189 yards, one touchdown, and no interceptions, marking his finest career year.
Smith’s groyne ailment was discovered this week, and he is just a restricted participant. It’s assumed that Smith’s limitations are a preventative measure to make sure he doesn’t hurt himself any more than he already has. Seattle has a light injury report this week, but the players who are included are their main players, including Tre Brown and Jordyn Brooks, two of their best defensive players.
Seattle will play the 49ers, who have been playing quite well this season, their NFC West opponents. With a 6-6 record right now, the Seahawks and Rams are tied for second place in their division. This week’s game against San Francisco will be a major test for the team, but a victory would significantly increase their chances of qualifying for the postseason.
