Seahawks to be without Bobby Wagner against Panthers
Seattle Seahawks middle linebacker Bobby Wagner (pectorals) is not expected to play Sunday against the Carolina Panthers.
What It Means:
Wagner is a rock in the middle of this defense, so this would be a crucial loss against a Panthers' offense that is the most run-heavy in the league. That said, the rest of the front seven should be able to hold if Wagner is out. This upgrades K.J. Wright's IDP value for Week 6.
The Seahawks' defense ranks second in the NFL in per-play schedule-adjusted Defensive Rushing Net Expected Points (NEP), with a score of -0.14 Rushing NEP allowed per attempt.
