Thursday Night’s clash between the 49ers and Seahawks will have their work cut out. After fabulous performances last Thursday and Monday night’s curtain closer, the fans will expect a spectacular game during the Thanksgiving week. But that ultimately will depend on the players available for both the NFC sides. Facing quite a few unavailabilities, a crisis looms over the head of the Seattle team.

On the other hand, the 49ers have been one of the leading franchises in the NFC despite their blips. With a serious test kicking off NFL Week 12, the Seahawks will hope for a nearly full roster despite current concerns to take on the staggering San Francisco side.

6 in Doubt for the Seattle Seahawks

The Seahawks this season have flown under the radar mostly. Having played 10 games so far, they are in the hunt for the playoff spots. While the upcoming game could decide how valid their hopes are, Geno Smith‘s availability or lack thereof could swing the potential result in the other direction.

QB Geno Smith is yet to fully join the practice session, shedding doubt for their winning chances, with Tariq Woolen joining him as a Limited Participant. In the meantime, 4 others are yet to be cleared for practice participation with DK Metcalf the most notable absentee among the DNPs.

The good thing though remains that the Seahawks’ condition gradually changed on Tuesday when 9 of their players decided to fully participate in the practice. Some of these players are the WRs Jake Bobo (shoulder), Tyler Lockett (hamstring), CBs Tre Brown (foot), Coby Bryant (toe), and Running Back DeeJay Dallas (shoulder).

While the Seahawks continue to make progress in a positive direction, the 49ers have matters well settled for them at the moment. Their available list of players would be a big relief for the team.

The 49ers look to be in a stable standing ahead of the Seahawks clash

The San Francisco team did not practice on Monday and their injury report is more of a “what if” scenario. If the 49ers practiced on Monday, they would probably see Aaron Banks (toe), Spencer Burford (knee), and Talanoa Hufanga (knee) on the DNP list. The WR Ray-Ray McCloud (rib), Javon Hargrave (thumb), and CB Shemar Jean-Charles (shoulder) would have probably been limited participants in the practice, “if” the 49ers practiced on Monday.

The 49ers are the 1 team in the NFC West currently with a 7-3 record while the Seahawks are doing quite decently as they stand 2 in the same division with a 6-4 record. They have a couple of days before their roster can change for the better or for the worse. Who do you support in the upcoming game to overcome the new challenges? Let us know below.
