The secondary is also a bit banged up going into this week. Reinforcements will come in the form of cornerback Nigel Warrior, who’s finally been activated off IR where he’d been since the beginning of the season. Warrior impressed during the preseason with the Ravens.

One reason Warrior will be needed is the season-ending injury to standout rookie Tre Brown. He had to undergo surgery on his knee recently. The good news is Brown is expected to make a full recovery and should project as the team’s starting left outside corner next season.

The Seahawks are also losing backup OL Jamarco Jones, at least for a while. He’s going on the injured reserve list with a back issue. Jones has appeared in eight games this year, playing 33% of the team’s offensive snaps. The earliest he can return to the active roster is Week 15.
