Here’s the official injury report for Monday’s game between the Seattle Seahawks and Buffalo Bills at CenturyLink Field:
SEATTLE
Out: RB Thomas Rawls (fibula), TE Luke Willson (knee), DE Michael Bennett (knee), SS Kam Chancellor (groin), CB DeAndre Elliott (hamstring).
Doubtful: none.
Questionable: T Bradley Sowell (knee).
Notes: Once again Chancellor was unable to make it through the week, meaning he’ll miss his fourth straight game. With Bennett recovering from arthroscopic surgery on his knee, it means Seattle will remain without two of its stars on defense, with safety Kelcie McCray and defensive end Frank Clark again being called upon to start. Sowell, the starter at left tackle, is listed as questionable, but Seattle coach Pete Carroll said he wouldn’t play, meaning undrafted rookie George Fant is in line for another start. Linebacker Kevin Pierre-Louis (ankle) is set to return, but Carroll said Brock Coyle will continue to start at strong-side linebacker. Rawls and Willson have been long-term absentees, but both are expected back shortly.
BUFFALO
Out: WR Brandon Tate (concussion), DT Corbin Bryant (shoulder), DT Marcell Dareus (groin).
Doubtful: none.
Questionable: RB LeSean McCoy (hamstring), LB Jerry Hughes (hand), TE Charles Clay (knee), WR Robert Woods (foot), T Cordy Glenn (ankle), RB Reggie Bush (groin), LB Lorenzo Alexander (hamstring), LB Lerentee McCray (knee).
Notes: The biggest blow for the Bills is the loss of Dareus, Buffalo’s former Pro Bowl nose tackle who played last week after missing the first seven games because of suspension and injury. The absence of both Dareus and Bryant represent a significant blow on the defensive line. McCoy, who’s having an fine season as Buffalo’s primary ball carrier, missed last week’s 41-25 loss to the New England Patriots, but he’s expected to play Monday despite being listed as questionable. Buffalo’s top receiver, Sammy Watkins, is on injured reserve with a foot injury, but the Bills expect to get speedy receiver Marquise Goodwin (concussion) back this week. Buffalo is also confident receiver Percy Harvin, brought out of retirement this week, will play.
