The Seahawks matchup against the Saints is suddenly tougher than anticipated due to a wave of injuries, especially to the secondary.

Running back Zach Charbonnet (foot), safety Nick Emmanwori (ankle), safety Julian Love (hamstring) and cornerback Devon Witherspoon (knee) are all out for the Seahawks, while offensive lineman Mason Richman, tight end Nick Kallerup and linebacker Connor O'Toole are healthy scratches.
