Seahawks Rule Out Riq Woolen for 49ers Game

Seattle Seahawks cornerback Riq Woolen has been ruled out for the upcoming Thursday Night Football game against the San Francisco 49ers due to an ankle sprain sustained during the loss to the New York Giants. Woolen exited the game in the third quarter and was unable to return, marking his first missed game of the season. Defensive tackle Byron Murphy II and edge rusher Uchenna Nwosu will also miss the game, with Nwosu expected to be placed on injured reserve following a thigh injury. Rookie Nehemiah Pritchett is set to take Woolen's place, while the Seahawks are considering elevating veteran Artie Burns from the practice squad. Additional uncertainties linger as edge rushers Boye Mafe and Derick Hall are game-time decisions due to knee and foot injuries, respectively.
