Jarran Reed Joins, Cooper Kupp Misses Seahawks’ Week 9 vs. Washington

The Seattle Seahawks are preparing for their Week 9 matchup against the Washington Commanders with a mixed bag of player availability. Defensive tackle Jarran Reed, who faced uncertainty due to a wrist injury, is set to play. However, starting wide receiver Cooper Kupp is inactive for this game due to a hamstring injury.

Injury Updates and Player Changes

Cooper Kupp is one of three receivers sidelined by injuries. Alongside him, Jake Bobo and Dareke Young were ruled out prior to the game. In response, the Seahawks have promoted receivers Cody White and Ricky White III from the practice squad. This game will be significant for Ricky White III, as it marks his NFL debut.

Additional Player Status

  • Active players include cornerback Devon Witherspoon, returning from a knee injury.
  • Outside linebacker Derick Hall, who missed the past two games due to an oblique injury, is also active.
  • Rookie fullback Robbie Ouzts, returning after an ankle injury, will participate.
  • Nick Kallerup, a rookie tight end, is listed as active for the first time this season.

In significant roster moves, the Seahawks placed safety Julian Love and tight end Eric Saubert on injured reserve, confirming their absence for the game. The team is adjusting to these changes as they face off against the Commanders.
