The Seahawks open the preseason against the Steelers on Saturday. johnpgilbertnfl gives fans three things to pay attention to when tuning in.
Saturday isn’t of grave importance. However, with the Hawks set to take the field against an opponent for the first time in the post-Russell Wilson, post-Bobby Wagner era, what is of grave importance is figuring out what the team has for not only 2022, but into 2023 and beyond as well.
The number of injuries in the secondary alone is shocking. It seems unlikely fans get to see either of the veteran cornerbacks signed as free agents in the spring and who spent the offseason as the projected starters on the outside in Artie Burns or Sidney Jones.
L.J. Collier, who is in the final year of his rookie contract could also be sidelined by an elbow injury suffered in the mock game last weekendOn the offensive side of the ball, Dee Eskridge has been held out of practice with a hamstring issue, and, which would seem to make it unlikely he plays Saturday. However, something to watch for Thursday is whether Marquise Goodwin practices, as he brings a similar skillset to the table as Eskridge, but did not practice Wednesday.
And while for both fans are more likely to focus on how many yards per carry they averaged, or how good they looked making their reads and hitting the hole, if one or the other wants to set themselves up for additional snaps this season, showing out as a pass blocker would be a great way to do it.
