Seattle Seahawks and San Francisco 49ers gear up for division clash in Week 5
As Week 5 approaches, the Seattle Seahawks and San Francisco 49ers prepare to face off in an NFC West showdown at Lumen Field. The 49ers, boasting a perfect 4-0 record, sit atop the division, while the Seahawks enter the game at 3-1, aiming to wrestle the top spot from the 49ers through a tiebreaker.
Interestingly, despite the significance of the matchup, the Seahawks will finally field their entire starting secondary group for the first time this season. Cornerbacks Devon Witherspoon, Josh Jobe, and safety Ty Okada will all be active for the game. Safety has been an ongoing issue for the Seahawks, with Julian Love sidelined by a calf injury, Nick Emmanwori missing Week 1, and Okada starting for the first time this season.
The team's inactives list includes quarterback Jalen Milroe, who will serve as an emergency third quarterback. The game promises to be a crucial matchup, not just for division positioning, but also a chance for the Seahawks to showcase their improved defensive unit.
