Seattle has allowed 851 yards rushing, the most by any team through five games since 2012. Seattle watched Taysom Hill and Alvin Kamara each run for more than 100 yards, the third time in Seahawks history they’ve allowed two 100-yard rushers in the same game. The Seahawks are worst in the league at stopping the run, giving up an average of 170.2 yards per game, capped by the 235 yards allowed to New Orleans last week. Seattle’s beleaguered run defense could benefit from the Cardinals’ injury issues at running back. Ward was put on injured reserve Wednesday.Īrizona also hopes starting center Rodney Hudson can return for Sunday’s game after he missed the Eagles game with a knee injury. James Conner (ribs), Darrel Williams (knee) and Jonathan Ward (hamstring) all left last week’s game against the Eagles with injuries, leaving Eno Benjamin as the lone healthy back. The Cardinals are banged up, especially at running back. It was good to have everyone out there and detail things up," Kingsbury said. "Felt like we could just use some mental reps, having everybody out there, even the guys who have got some nicks. Instead of the usual full-contact Wednesday practice, Kingsbury opted for a walkthrough. The Cardinals have had a slightly easier week of practice because they have an upcoming game on short rest - they play the Seahawks on Sunday before playing the Saints at home next Thursday. "A lot of those O-linemen were banged up and powered through, so I just wanted to make sure they knew we appreciated them." TWO GAMES, SHORT REST "It was a hard-fought game and to lose in that nature was tough, but I was just really proud of the effort," Arizona coach Kliff Kingsbury said. Arizona had a chance to end Philadelphia’s undefeated start, but some execution issues by Kyler Murray in the final moments and a missed field goal that would have forced overtime sealed a 20-17 loss to the Eagles. Seattle’s run defense continued to get run over in a 39-32 loss at New Orleans, despite another strong performance by Geno Smith, the league leader in passer rating through five weeks.
