The Seattle Seahawks wideout room might be running thin after seeing Jake Bobo come down to what it’s believed to be a serious injury. The reigning Super Bowl champions could be in serious harm here.
While Bobo was the fourth WR on the depth chart, he was used very accurately by the Seahawks and was poised to break out after receiving a two-year, $5.5 million contract. Seattle didn’t want him gone, but now he is injured.
Adam Schefter of ESPN reported that head coach Mike Macdonald said Jake Bobo suffered a “serious” knee injury. This could mean ACL, LCL, PCL, MCL or meniscus. The tests will show the extend of the injury, but it’s bad news.
Seahawks WR depth chart
Jaxon Smith-Njigba is clearly the best wideout on the team and arguably the best in the NFL. He just led the league in receiving yards. JSN is the main man and the undoubted star on the WR depth chart.

Then, veteran Cooper Kupp and special teams ace Rashid Shaheed follow suit. Bobo could be seen as the natural replacement for Kupp and let Shaheed be the vertical threat. Now, it seems like the three wideouts will remain the same.
The Seahawks offense has a lot to prove
It’s weird to think that the reigning champions have something to prove, but the Seahawks do. They lost offensive coordinator Klint Kubiak and Super Bowl MVP running back Kenneth Walker III.
Hence, rookie Jadarian Price will have to prove he can takeover in the running game. Also, Sam Darnold has to keep his level without Kubiak running the playcalling duties. It’s sort of a ‘prove it‘ year for many on the offense.
