The Seahawks have lost starting running back Julius Jones for a while due to a bruised chest.  Jones has played in 9 games for the Seahawks so far this season and he has carried the ball 107 times for 392 yards (3.7 ypc) with 2 TD runs.  He has also caught 20 passes for 177 yards (8.9 avg) with 2 TD grabs.  First up to replace Jones will be Justin Forsett.  Forsett has played in all 9 games for the Seahawks this season and he has 37 carries for 246 yards (6.6 ypc) with 1 TD run.  He has also caught 21 passes for 166 yards (7.9 avg) so far this season.  Look for Forsett to do a good job while Jones is out of action.  Louis Rankin will also move up on the depth chart for the Seahawks at running back.  Rankin has played in 2 games for the Seahawks so far this season and he has carried the ball 3 times for 24 yards (8.0 ypc) and he has also caught 3 passes for 24 yards (8.0 avg).  The Seahawks appear to be in good hands if Julius Jones has to miss some time.

The Seattle Seahawks have shut down veteran offensive tackle Walter Jones for the season to continue his rehab for surgery on both knees.  Jones will go right into the Hall of Fame five years after he retires and the Seahawks will miss him the rest of the year.  The Seahawks really need someone to step up at LT and protect Matt Hasselbeck’s back side or the season will end in disappointment once again.

The Seahawks have likely lost starting inside linebacker Lofa Tatupu for the remainder of the season due to a torn pectoral muscle.  He likely ends this season with 32 tackles, 1 tackle for a loss and 2 passes defensed.  David Hawthorne will likely replace him and he has had a solid year so far with 27 tackles, 3 tackles for a loss, 1 pass defensed and 1 interception.  Hawthorne will likely do a decent job replacing Tatupu but this really hurts the linebacker depth of the Seahawks.

The Seattle Seahawks have lost starting left tackle Brandon Frye for the season due to a neck injury.  He was replaced last week by Kyle Williams who was just promoted off the practice squad last weekend.  Williams did a solid job last weekend but he will likely be a second teamer going forward.

The Seattle Seahawks have lost LT Sean Locklear indefinately with a high ankle sprain.  The Seahawks have their fingers crossed that Walter Jones will be ready to return to action this week.  If not, Matt Hasselbeck/Seneca Wallace could be getting hit in the back quite often.
