Seahawks make Emanuel Wilson a healthy scratch at Raiders; Darnold also inactive

Running back Emanuel Wilson will not play for the Seattle Seahawks in Sunday's Week 10 game at the Las Vegas Raiders. Seattle made him a healthy scratch, according to Mookie Alexander's inactives report for Field Gulls, syndicated by SB Nation. That leaves the carries to Zach Charbonnet and Jadarian Price once again. The game kicks off Sunday on CBS.

Wilson is not the only notable name on the list. The same report has quarterback Sam Darnold, defensive lineman Leonard Williams and offensive linemen Charles Cross and Quenton Nelson inactive too, though the report does not say why. Two rookies, defensive lineman Deven Eastern and cornerback Avery Smith, are also healthy scratches. Field Gulls ties those two moves to roster shuffling: nose tackle Brandon Pili is back in the lineup, and Trevon Diggs was elevated from the practice squad to add depth at cornerback.

What it changes for Seattle

Wilson's scratch comes down to roster numbers and doesn't point to an injury. The phrase "once again" in the Field Gulls report shows Charbonnet and Price have been the main backs, so Wilson's absence mostly costs Seattle a third option on the depth chart and on special teams. His inactive spot frees a game-day jersey for a position the staff wants to cover, and this week that meant getting Pili back on the defensive line and making room for Diggs at corner.

The bigger questions are elsewhere on the list. Seattle will be without Darnold, two starting-caliber offensive linemen in Cross and Nelson, and Williams up front on defense. That is a lot of lineup change for a team that comes in at 5-4. The Seahawks have alternated wins and losses lately. They beat Arizona 17-3 last time out after losing 34-17 to Chicago, and before that they held Kansas City to three points in a 20-3 win. The defense has carried them in those wins, and it will probably need to again with this many offensive regulars sitting.
