Seahawks, Broncos Eye Key Player Returns Amid Midseason Injury Challenges

The New Orleans Saints are preparing for their Week 3 game against the Seattle Seahawks with several players sidelined, including right tackle Taliese Fuaga due to a back injury, and defensive end Chase Young and left guard Dillon Radunz also out. The Seahawks have faced defensive challenges as well, with key defensive backs Devon Witherspoon and Nick Emmanwori inactive in Week 2 but potentially returning to practice later in the week, though they did not participate in Wednesday's session. Seahawks head coach Mike Macdonald noted that Witherspoon's experience might allow him to play even without practice, but Emmanwori's participation remains less certain. The Seahawks also re-signed wide receiver Cody White to their practice squad after his release prior to Week 2; White previously had a notable game stepping up during an injury to DK Metcalf. Meanwhile, the Denver Broncos could soon see returns from injured players Nate Adkins and Dre Greenlaw, both showing signs of recovery and limited participation in recent practices, which could bolster their roster ahead of upcoming games. These injury updates highlight the ongoing challenges and adjustments NFL teams are facing as they approach Week 3 of the 2025 season.
