Seahawks Expected Full Secondary Returns vs Texans Monday

The Seattle Seahawks are likely to have key defensive players Devon Witherspoon and Julian Love available for their Monday Night Football game against the Houston Texans, with Witherspoon participating fully in practice after a knee injury and Love showing limited participation due to a hamstring issue. Witherspoon's return from a two-game absence is timely, as the Texans' offense, led by quarterback CJ Stroud and coordinator Nick Caley, has been improving significantly. The Seahawks' secondary could potentially be intact for only the third time this season if Witherspoon, Love, and Riq Woolen, who is recovering from a concussion, all play. Other players like defensive ends Leonard Williams and DeMarcus Lawrence have returned to full participation, while some players such as offensive lineman Josh Jones and linebacker Derick Hall remain limited or out due to injuries. The Seahawks coach Mike Macdonald will provide a game status update after Saturday’s practice. The Texans, coming off a bye, report minimal injuries, making the matchup a significant challenge for Seattle's defense.
