BREAKING: SEAHAWKS HIT WITH MAJOR INJURY WAVE — 6 STARTERS SIT OUT PRACTICE

The Seattle Seahawks had six players who sat out Wednesday’s practice due to injury.

Stacy Rost: 3 numbers that matter for the Seahawks

Those six players were four-time Pro Bowl defensive end Demarcus Lawrence (quadricep), two-time Pro Bowl cornerback Devon Witherspoon (knee), Pro Bowl safety Julian Love (hamstring), edge rusher Derick Hall (oblique), linebacker Ernest Jones IV (shoulder) and offensive tackle Josh Jones (ankle).

Defensive tackle Jarran Reed also sat out with a non-injury-related/rest designation.

Cornerback Riq Woolen (concussion) and rookie safety Nick Emmanwori (ankle) were both limited participants.

Seahawks head coach Mike Macdonald said Monday that Hall is “week to week” after suffering an oblique injury in this past Sunday’s loss to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. That seems to indicate that Hall is likely to miss Sunday’s Week 6 road matchup against the Jacksonville Jaguars.

On Wednesday, Macdonald said the game statuses for Lawrence, Witherspoon and Woolen will depend on how the week progresses. Macdonald also offered a similar timeframe when discussing Love’s status on Monday.

Lawrence, Witherspoon and Love each missed Sunday’s loss to Tampa Bay, while Woolen exited the game with a concussion.

It’s unclear when Ernest Jones IV got hurt. He played every defensive snap against the Buccaneers.

Macdonald said Josh Jones, the team’s top backup at offensive tackle, will be out again this week.

Below is a full look at Seattle’s practice report from Wednesday. The Seahawks will release another practice report Thursday and their mandatory game status designations on Friday.

Saints’ $40 Million Star Taysom Hill on the Chopping Block? Hill Responds with Shocking Comments

In an unexpected turn of events, Taysom Hill, the $40 million star of the New Orleans Saints, has found himself at the center of trade rumors and potential roster changes. Reports have emerged suggesting that Hill, a

versatile weapon who has been a fixture in the Saints’ offense for years, might be on the chopping block as the team looks to make significant roster adjustments.

The speculation has taken the

NFL community by storm, as Hill’s multifaceted skill set and leadership have always made him a valuable asset. However, the Saints’ decision to shake things up has led to questions about whether Hill, who is still one of the highest-paid players on the team, could be sent packing.

In response to the rumors, Hill made an unexpected statement that has turned heads. Rather than back down or downplay the situation, Hill fired back with a bold declaration.

“

If they want to trade me, that’s their choice. But I’m not going to sit here and be disrespected. I’ve given everything to this team, and I’ve done whatever they’ve asked of me. If they think they can do better without me, then let them try. I’m ready for whatever comes next.
”

Hill’s words immediately sparked a mix of reactions across the NFL. Some praised his confidence, while others questioned whether this was the right approach in the face of potential uncertainty about his future in New Orleans. His statement shows that, despite the rumors, Hill is determined to stand his ground and leave no doubt about his commitment to the Saints — or to his own value on the field.

The Saints, in a precarious cap situation, may need to make difficult decisions in the coming days, and Hill’s substantial contract makes him a prime candidate for trade talks if the team needs to clear space. However, Hill’s willingness to speak out could play a role in shaping how the

Saints front office handles this situation.

As the trade deadline approaches, all eyes are on Taysom Hill to see how the Saints will move forward with their star player. Will the team part ways with a proven weapon, or will Hill stay and continue to be the versatile playmaker the Saints have relied on for years? One thing is certain — Hill’s comments have only added more intrigue to this already tense situation.
