Cornerback Bless Austin struggled in his first start for the Seahawks last week and now he is joining the group of players on the COVID-19 list. With Austin sidelined and D.J. Reed still on the list, John Reid and Nigel Warrior should get an opportunity for more playing time against Chicago.

With Will Dissly among the players on the COVID-19 list, Seattle is thin at tight end. Tyler Mabry is being activated for more depth, there. He has appeared in four games this year, mostly seeing action on special teams.
