The Seattle Seahawks will have to make do without their starting left tackle Abraham Lucas for at least another week. Lucas has been dealing with an ankle injury that he suffered in the team’s Week 5 matchup against the Minnesota Vikings.
The Seahawks have been forced to make a few changes to their offensive line in order to make up for Lucas’ absence. They have moved right tackle Brandon Shell to the left side and have inserted Cedric Ogbuehi at right tackle. The team is also relying on Jamarco Jones and Chad Wheeler to provide depth at the tackle position.
The loss of Lucas is a big blow for the Seahawks, as he has been a key part of their offensive line since he was drafted in 2018. He has started every game since then and has been a reliable presence in pass protection. His absence will likely be felt in the coming weeks, as the Seahawks will have to adjust to his absence.
The Seahawks have been able to remain competitive despite Lucas’ absence, but it remains to be seen how they will fare in the long run without him. The team is hoping that he will be able to return soon, but for now they will have to make do with the players they have.
It’s unclear when Lucas will be able to return, but the Seahawks are hoping that it won’t be too long before he is back on the field. Until then, they will have to make do with the players they have and hope that they can continue to find success without him.
