Week 5, Pre-game thread - Oct. 11, 49ers at Lumen Field in Seattle versus the Seahawks | Page 17

dj43 · 2026-10-05T13:06:30-07:00

After a tough, bruising game against the Broncos, the 49er travel to Seattle to take on the Seahawks. Brock Purdy has a perfect 4-0 record in what is considered one of the most hostile environments in the league. Can he, along with his teammates, make it 5-0? The 49ers will still be missing some pieces they would love to have for this game. However, the Seahawks' are sorely missing the ground game they had last year after Kenneth Walker took his 537 rushing yards and a 6.2 average to Kansas City. Without Walker, Seattle has gained only 303 yards total on the ground with a 3.8 yd average. The Seahawks are not the same team that beat the 49ers twice at the end of last season. The oddsmaker see Seattle as a 3-point favorite but let's play the game and see if they are correct.

Offense - Stribling, Robinson, Juice, and Evens not playing with rib injury

This team would be so much further along if they had gotten the 4 games of playing at full strength getting experience working together.

I still win't trust this offense if our wr1 is mike evans. He's a great wr1 but with his injury history, we are walking on thin ice.

What injury history? Last year was the first time he ever missed more than 3 games. He's only missed about 10 in his 13 year career. That makes him one of the least injured players on the 49er roster.

I will say, given how Halton and Valdez, and even Kaheem and Jones have shown up, the 9ers seem better without Collins and West.
MAYBE West was playing through knee pain and he looks a lot better when he returns.

The 49ers announced they released DL Ogbo Okoronkwo.

This creates a spot for DL Mykel Williams off PUP.

Odd release choice…given the depth at the position and Ogbo was decent.

Agreed. Wonder if it's just the first move, then they resign him?

Would be a pretty good time for Nate f**king Hobbs to make a return, but of course we hear nothing about him all week.

no sigle and no stout will mean much worse tackling. no stout also means jack jones, unless they go full base mode

I think it was between him and Kareem. Everywhere else you dont have a man to release. With Juice hurt, cant release (and re-sign later) Willis. With Stout and Sigle hurt, you cant release a DB. With WRs hurt, cant release Cooks

Ogbo is a vet so he'll probably resign to PS later on in the year.

We'll see what happens but it sounded like the injury was minor. Could be it got a little sore and they gave him the day off. Not having him or Byron would definitely be a substantial injury for them. Their fans have tried to claim they've had their share of injuries but all respect to Sam Darnold his injury wasn't a needle mover on offense. Nor was Okada's injury on defense.

JSN is really the only substantial injury on offense they wouldn't be able to deal with. On defense Leonard Williams, Byron Murphy and Emmanwori/Witherspoon are probably the key ones.

Still given all the injuries we have I'm not going to shed a tear if Leonard can't play in this one. Their fans certainly didn't have any problems beating us missing key players on our squad so better not see any tears from them either.

Some of their starters that have missed games this season are Darnold, Charbonet, Okada, Bradford, Clark, Emmanwori, Love, Ouzts, and Price. Not sure if that's complete, but definitely some impact through 4 games.

He'll play on Sunday. They shoot him up with a cocktail of drugs and voila he'll be good to go.

The way he left the game last week, it looked pretty legit. Surprised they're talking about him playing. McDonald plays with injury designations a bit like that though.

Leonard Williams has no game status designation and is good to go for Sunday.

No, it definitely looked legit. Good deal though. Seems like injuries are over the top this season so far.
