Why a third of inactive Seahawks against Rams are defensive attackers

At the start of the season, the Seattle Seahawks were constantly looking for depth in the defensive line, as the injuries of several important players left the position somewhat empty. Rasheem Green, Bruce Irvin, Benson Mayowa, Bryan Mone and Damontre Moore lost time due to injury or suspension, and the need for trench depth on the defensive side got so bad that Hawks made a flurry of additions to the position.

These additions included Jonathan Bullard’s poaching from the Arizona Cardinals training team, hiring defensive line player Damon Snacks Harrison as a free agent and switching to Carlos Dunlap. These moves, combined with the return of Green, Mayowa, Mone and Moore, left Seattle with such significant depth in the position group that two of the six inactive for the Week 16 clash with the Los Angeles Rams are defensive attackers.

The complete list of inactive for Seahawks against the Rams is:

  • DeeJay Dallas
  • Colby Parkinson
  • Mike Iupati
  • Jonathan Bullard
  • Damon Harrison
  • Damarious Randall
