Seattle Seahawks Injury Report: Jordyn Brooks Among 4 Players Questionable vs. Washington Commanders
After missing practice time this week, the Seattle Seahawks listed linebacker Jordyn Brooks and running back DeeJay Dallas as questionable to play against the Washington Commanders on Sunday.
In addition, Seattle ruled out guard Anthony Bradford for a second straight game with a knee injury and also gave tight end Colby Parkinson and running back Kenny McIntosh, who has yet to be activated to the 53-man roster, questionable designations for Week 10.
Playing 54 defensive snaps against the Ravens in a 37-3 loss last week in Baltimore, Brooks briefly exited the game in the second half with what appeared to be cramps after making a four-yard tackle for loss on running back Justice Hill. He returned to play the remainder of the game, but did not practice on Wednesday or Thursday due to a new hamstring injury.
During Friday's practice, Brooks participated in warmups open to media, but it remains unknown whether he was a full participant or not.
If Brooks isn't able to suit up against the Commanders, the Seahawks will turn to veteran Devin Bush, who has recorded four tackles in four games so far this year while logging 58 defensive snaps and 31 special teams snaps. The former first-round pick out of Michigan last played in Week 8 against the Browns and has been a healthy scratch in four of the first eight games.

Injuring his shoulder during a special teams play in Baltimore in the third quarter, Dallas left the game and did not return, creating questions about his status for this weekend. But coach Pete Carroll said the fourth-year running back was "bouncing around" on Wednesday and has been a limited participant in practice this week, suggesting he may be ready to play after all.
Regardless of whether or not Dallas is active, Seattle will soon need to make a decision on McIntosh, whose 21-day practice window will close early next week as he works back from a sprained knee. The team must activate him to the roster by Wednesday, November 15 or he will revert back to season-ending injured reserve.
If the Seahawks intend for McIntosh to play this weekend, they will have to activate him from injured reserve on Saturday. The team currently has a roster spot open after waiving defensive tackle Austin Faoliu earlier this week.
Up front, with Bradford still ailing after tweaking his knee in a win over Cleveland, Seattle will start the same offensive line for a second straight week for just the second time this season with veteran Phil Haynes starting at right guard next to Stone Forsythe. Charles Cross will be in his usual spot at left tackle despite being limited on Wednesday with an ankle injury and guard Damien Lewis and center Evan Brown both are good to go in the interior.
At tight end, Parkinson has been limited at practice all week by a bicep injury apparently suffered in Baltimore. The fourth-year tight end hasn't missed any games this year in what has been the healthiest season of his career and in the event he isn't able to suit up, rookie Brady Russell remains on the roster and Tyler Mabry could be a candidate to elevate from the practice squad for extra depth at the position.
