Saints vs Seahawks Injury Report and Starting Lineup - October 25

Saints vs Seahawks Injury Report and Starting Lineup - October 25 | NFL Week 7

Modified Nov 08, 2022 11:49 GMT

The New Orleans Saints have a chance to pull away from the pretenders of the NFC South and pull closer to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers at the top of the division. But it won't be easy against the Seattle Seahawks, who are without Russell Wilson and Chris Carson.

Seattle had to start Geno Smith at quarterback against the Pittsburgh Steelers last week, and he played well, but he also threw away the game by fumbling the ball in overtime. Still, Geno Smith showed he had a little magic in him with 209 yards and a touchdown against Pittsburgh.

Chris Carson is also on IR, but his replacement Alex Collins had a great day against the Steel Curtain, running for over 100 yards and a touchdown.

The biggest storyline for the Seattle Seahawks outside of Russell Wilson's finger surgery is how well the defense played last week. The defensive line had a good outing and put consistent pressure on Ben Roethlisberger and the run game. Seattle gave up big plays at times, but it was still an improvement over the last few weeks.

The New Orleans Saints are coming off a win over Washington after Jameis Winston threw for four touchdowns and the defense shut down Taylor Heinicke and Washington's passing game.

Winston might not be putting up big passing numbers, but he's scoring touchdowns and limiting his turnovers. Alvin Kamara and Marquez Callaway have been huge contributors to the offense over the last few games.

New Orleans' defense allowed Daniel Jones to throw for over 400 yards in Week 5 but has allowed the 12th-fewest passing yards. However, they are ranked 23rd in passing yards per game allowed with 275. Against Seattle, the Saints defense could allow Geno Smith to keep the Seahawks in the game.
