The Seattle Seahawks have been dealing with a number of injuries throughout the season, and now they may be facing another one. Quarterback Geno Smith is listed as questionable for the team’s Week 14 matchup with the San Francisco 49ers.
Smith has been dealing with a knee injury since Week 10, and he was inactive for the Seahawks’ Week 13 game against the Philadelphia Eagles. He was limited in practice this week, but it’s unclear if he will be able to suit up for Sunday’s game.
If Smith is unable to play, the Seahawks will likely turn to backup quarterback Paxton Lynch. Lynch has only appeared in one game this season, completing 6 of 9 passes for 67 yards and an interception in a Week 11 loss to the Los Angeles Rams.
The Seahawks are currently in a tight battle for the NFC West title, and they need every win they can get. If Smith is unable to play, it could be a major blow to the team’s chances of winning the division.
The Seahawks will need to make a decision on Smith’s availability soon, as the team will need to know who their starting quarterback will be for Sunday’s game. It will be interesting to see how this situation plays out, and if Smith is able to suit up against the 49ers.
