Seahawks defense struggles with injuries ahead of Chiefs matchup

The Seattle Seahawks are set to face the unbeaten Kansas City Chiefs on October 26, 2026, amidst significant injury concerns on their defense. The Seahawks have lost consecutive games and currently hold a 3-3 record, placing them outside playoff contention. Key defensive players, including linebacker Drake Thomas and linemen Demarcus Lawrence and Uchenna Nwosu, are dealing with injuries that could affect their performance. Despite the struggles, the Seahawks' run defense has performed well, but will be tested by Chiefs running back Kenneth Walker, who leads the league in rushing yards. Seattle aims to rebound against a strong Kansas City team that boasts a 5-0 record and a formidable offense led by Patrick Mahomes.
