The Geno Smith injury situation is the biggest thing to monitor as the Seattle Seahawks head into their crucial Week 15 matchup with the Philadelphia Eagles. Ahead of this game, where a loss could knock the Seahawks out of the playoff picture, head coach Pete Carroll detailed just how his starting quarterback picked up the surprising groin injury and gave an update about his status for the team’s Dec. 18 “Monday Night Football” clash.
Pete Carroll Explains How His QB Got Hurt
Geno Smith bruised his triceps in the second half of the Seahawks’ 17-16 Week 11 loss to the Los Angeles Rams on Nov. 19. Seahawks fans knew all about that heading into the team squad’s Week 14 game on Dec. 10 against the San Francisco 49ers.
What The 12s didn’t know is that Smith picked up a groin injury in practice leading up to that game, which would cause him to have to sit out so Carroll would have to start Drew Lock. This injury and subsequent backup QB situation led to a 28-16 loss to the Niners, the Seahawks’ fourth in a row.
On his weekly show, “The Pete Carroll Show”, on Seattle Sports radio, the head coach finally explained exactly what happened to Smith leading up to the 49ers game.
