Seahawks injury report: Leonard Williams still out, Rashid Shaheed full go before Raiders trip

Seattle opened its Raiders week with a long injury report. Defensive tackle Leonard Williams sat out Wednesday's practice again, still dealing with the stinger he picked up against Kansas City. Wide receiver Rashid Shaheed, though, practiced fully, and that gives a short-handed offense one of its receivers back. SB Nation's Field Gulls said early signs point to the Seahawks "limp[ing] into the game for the second week in a row."

The quarterback situation hasn't changed. Sam Darnold (quadricep/ribs) did not practice, and Mike Macdonald had already said Darnold will not play in Las Vegas, according to the team's Seahawks.com report. Drew Lock is expected to make his second straight start. He was limited with right elbow and oblique injuries, and the oblique problem is new from Sunday's game. Field Gulls noted that second-year player Jalen Milroe is the only other healthy quarterback on the 53-man roster.

The offensive line is still thin. Left tackle Charles Cross (ankle) has been out since Week 7, and left guard Quenton Nelson (knee) also did not practice. Macdonald has ruled Nelson out, while no decision has been made on Cross or Williams. Backup guard Anthony Bradford (knee) was limited. Defensive tackles Brandon Pili (back) and Jarran Reed (personal) also missed practice, and Jaxon Smith-Njigba was held out for rest. Edge rusher Derick Hall was limited with a new back injury. Uchenna Nwosu, who has missed two games with an ankle injury, was limited, which suggests he could be close to returning. Patrick O'Connell (toe) and Connor O'Toole (foot) were also limited. Tight end AJ Barner (finger) practiced fully along with Shaheed.

The Raiders are much healthier. CBS Sports reported that every active Las Vegas player took at least some part in Wednesday's practice. Defensive tackles Thomas Booker and Foley Fotukasi and guard Trey Zuhn III were limited. Field Gulls noted that rookie Fernando Mendoza is set to make his debut for Las Vegas.

What it means for Sunday

Seattle is 5-4 after its last three games went win, loss, win. The latest was a 17-3 home win over Arizona with Lock at quarterback. The defense has allowed 3 points in two of its last three games, the 20-3 win over Kansas City and the Arizona game. It also gave up 34 to Chicago in between. Over nine games the Seahawks have outscored opponents 202-162. They are 1-2 on the road, with the only away win coming 31-7 at Arizona. If Williams, Reed and Pili all miss the game, the defensive interior that drove those low-scoring wins would face a rookie quarterback in his first start without three of its tackles.

The market has not moved much on Lock starting. Seattle is favored on all 12 venues on this site's board. Novig has the Seahawks at -264 on the moneyline and Las Vegas at +257. On the spread, Seattle is -6.5 at -106, and the total is 40.5 with both sides at -104. The venues stay close together, with sportsbook hold between 3.4% and 4.9% on the moneyline and between 2.9% and 4.8% on the spread. The 40.5 total suits a team whose recent wins have come in low-scoring games.

Seattle has two more practices before game designations come out Friday. The main things to watch are Cross, Williams and Hall. Kickoff is Sunday on CBS. Season results are on the Seahawks team page.
