Seahawks, Rams Face Key Injuries Before Crucial NFC West Showdown
18 Dec
Summary
- Seattle Seahawks' left tackle Charles Cross ruled out due to hamstring injury.
- Rams' star wide receiver Davante Adams is doubtful with knee and hamstring issues.
- Both teams are tied atop the NFC West standings at 11-3.
The Seattle Seahawks will be without their starting left tackle, Charles Cross, for their critical NFC West matchup against the Los Angeles Rams on Thursday night. Cross sustained a hamstring injury late in their previous game and has not practiced this week, with Josh Jones expected to fill in at left tackle. The Seahawks' entire roster will be available except for Cross.
Adding to the injury concerns, the Los Angeles Rams are likely to miss their star wide receiver, Davante Adams. Adams is listed as doubtful with knee and hamstring issues, and a final decision on his availability will be made closer to game time. Adams has been a dominant force for the Rams this season, leading the team in receptions, yards, and touchdowns.
This game holds significant weight as both the Seahawks and Rams are currently tied for first place in the NFC West with an 11-3 record. The winner will gain sole possession of the division lead and strengthen their claim for the conference's top playoff seed. Additionally, the Rams' team flight experienced a substantial delay due to equipment issues, prompting the need for alternative travel arrangements to Seattle.
