The Seattle Seahawks have suffered a major blow to their defense, as edge rusher Darrell Taylor will miss an extended period of time due to a shoulder injury. Taylor, who was selected in the second round of the 2020 NFL Draft, was expected to make an immediate impact on the Seahawks’ defense this season.
Taylor suffered the injury during practice on Wednesday and was immediately taken to the locker room for further evaluation. The team has not yet released any details about the severity of the injury, but it is expected that Taylor will miss an extended period of time.
This is a major setback for the Seahawks, as Taylor was expected to be an important part of their defense this season. He was expected to provide a pass-rushing presence off the edge and help improve the team’s overall pass defense. Without Taylor in the lineup, the Seahawks will have to rely on other players to step up and fill the void.
The Seahawks have already been dealing with injuries to key players this season, including running back Chris Carson and tight end Greg Olsen. Now, they must find a way to adjust without their top draft pick in the lineup.
It is unclear at this point how long Taylor will be out, but it is likely that he will miss several weeks of action. This is a tough break for the Seahawks, as they were hoping that Taylor would be able to make an immediate impact on their defense this season.
The Seahawks will now have to look for other players to step up in Taylor’s absence. It will be interesting to see how they adjust without their top draft pick in the lineup.
