        Seahawks Down Two Secondary Starters

        The Seahawks have ruled rookie DB Nick Emmanwori (ankle) out for Sunday's game against the Steelers. They'll also likely miss CB Devon Witherspoon, who is doubtful with a knee injury. Emmanwori's set to miss multiple games and reportedly an IR candidate. That move would likely come by Saturday if it's happening.

        Emmanwori made it through just four snaps last Sunday before leaving with a high ankle sprain. We'll see when he's able to return.

        Witherspoon played every snap in the opener but has missed practice all week with his knee issue.

        S Julian Love appeared to be trending in the same direction after going from a limited Wednesday practice to sitting out Thursday's. But he's "good to go" for Sunday's game, according to John Boyle of Seahawks.com.

        The absences of Witherspoon and Emmanwori remove two key middle-of-the-field defenders. That's good news for Steelers TEs Jonnu Smith and Pat Freiermuth, who work primarily in that area. WR Calvin Austin III also spent 37% of his pass snaps in the slot in Week 1.

        We've had the Seattle defense outside the top 12 of our DST rankings.
