The vibes for the Seahawks are not good early on against the 49ers. Their tackling has been atrocious and two of their important starters are hurt.
According to the team, defensive tackle Shelby Harris is questionable to return with a glute injury.

Meanwhile, wide receiver DK Metcalf appears to be ailing, as well. He was spotted on the broadcast flexing his hand and then was seen experiencing some discomfort in his back on the sideline.

The Niners appear to be having some issues of their own, though. Their young quarterback Trey Lance has a major leg injury and has been carted off the field.
