Seahawks Week 13 injury report: Abe Lucas full participant
The Seattle Seahawks are preparing to face off against the Dallas Cowboys on Thursday Night Football. It will be a rather difficult challenge to snap their current two-game losing streak, but they could be getting help on the offensive line.
Right tackle Abe Lucas has been aiming for his return for almost two weeks now, and could perhaps do so Thursday. During Tuesday’s practice, he was a full participant. Unfortunately, fellow 2022 draft classmate Kenneth Walker III missed a second straight practice.
Here is the full injury report:
- RB Kenneth Walker III – oblique
- G Phil Haynes – toe
- WR Dee Eskridge – ribs
- WR Dareke Young – abdomen
- DE Leonard Williams – ankle
- TE Will Dissly – hip
- S Jamal Adams – knee/rest
- G Anthony Bradford – knee
- T Abe Lucas – knee
- WR Jake Bobo – shoulder
- LB Derick Hall – shoulder

Seahawks play caller Shane Waldron is on the spot to heed Pete Carroll, help Geno Smith
- The offense he coordinates, for which he calls the plays, isn’t scoring touchdowns enough. It’s not extending drives enough. It’s not running the ball or pass blocking well enough, either. His boss, the head coach, wants him to diversify his approach and use more of his players more effectively. That’s what Pete Carroll said this week, in an unusual and only slightly veiled critique, following Seattle’s 18-point home loss to the 49ers, the team it must beat to win its division. Yes, Shane Waldron gets the sense it’s time for him to make changes to help Geno Smith and the Seahawks (6-5) at the high-riding Dallas Cowboys (8-3) Thursday night. Those changes need to be effective enough to also work at mighty San Francisco (8-3) next week and against NFC-best Philadelphia (10-1) the week after that. That puts Waldron on the spot this week to fix Smith and the offense. “I think there’s an urgency every week in the NFL, and I think after a performance like we had this past week (it’s there),” Waldron said Monday, on the eve of the team flying to Texas for Thursday’s game in Arlington (5:15 p.m., channel 13/Amazon) “This is a game of excitement, a game of playing with energy,” Waldron said. “So (it’s) finding that balance of, ‘OK, yeah, we’re frustrated. We want to make this better. We want to fix this thing right now,’ but then also not going outside the box of, what’s our fundamentals? What’s our core techniques?” That indicates it’s back to the basics, with changes, for Smith the Seahawks’ stalled offense this week. The most basic of the passing game Smith needs to change: Not holding onto the ball so long. Shane Waldron is entering his second season as the Seahawks play caller and offensive coordinator. In 2022, he no longer has Russell Wilson as Seattle’s quarterback. Ted S. Warren/Associated Press Waldron was asked: What’s the one aspect that, if Smith improves, your offense will take off?
