Mike Macdonald gives injury updates to Artie Burns and Tre Brown

Injuries continue to bedevil the Seattle Seahawks, especially on defense. Already shorthanded at cornerback due to Riq Woolen’s absence, the Seahawks lost a couple more on Thursday night.

Against the San Francisco 49ers, Seattle had to rule out cornerbacks Tre Brown and Artie Burns (who was playing in Woolen’s spot) from the primetime affair. After the game, I asked head coach Mike Macdonald on the injury situation for Brown and Burns. Macdonald was brief in his response.

“Artie reaggravated his toe,” Macdonald stated. “So severity, I’m not sure. Tre had an ankle (injury). Pretty sure everybody else is okay.”

Of course, the good news is the fact the rest of the team seemed to escape the brutal loss with relative health. As for Brown and Burns, we will monitor their health situations intently in the coming few days, and will report accordingly.

After playing three games in eleven days, the Seahawks are in desperate need of a little more time off. The one benefit of playing on Thursday night is the fact it serves as somewhat of a “mini-bye” for the team. As of right now, the Seahawks desperately need some extra time to rest and get healthier.
