Seahawks release first injury report for Week 5 vs. 49ers
Leonard Williams' status will be vital to monitor on Thursday and Friday
The Seattle Seahawks released their first injury report for the upcoming Week 5 matchup against the San Francisco 49ers on Wednesday afternoon. According to the report, defensive tackle Leonard Williams participated in limited practice after sustaining an ankle injury in their previous Sunday victory. His availability for the upcoming game will be closely monitored over the next two days.
Wide receiver Irv Charles made a return to practice in limited capacity, marking his first time doing so this season. He was initially placed on injured reserve with a knee injury on August 31st but was designated for return to practice earlier in the week after receiving clearance from the medical staff.
Linebacker Chazz Surratt was the only player who did not take part in practice due to a calf injury he sustained in the previous Sunday's game. Running back George Holani was limited again because of a rib injury, while cornerback Nehemiah Pritchett was limited with an ankle injury. Guard Beau Stephens was also limited due to a knee injury.
Despite these setbacks, safety Ty Okada practiced in full for the first time this regular season. He had been sidelined since Week 1 due to a hamstring injury he sustained while preparing for Week 1. Running back Zach Charbonnet, who suffered a season-ending knee injury in February, practiced in limited capacity for the first time since his injury. Fellow running back George Holani's status remained unchanged due to his rib injury.
Cornerback Nehemiah Pritchett's ankle injury limited his participation in practice. Wide receiver Jaxon Smith-Njigba was not present during practice, but his absence was not due to an injury, as the team was resting him.
