Seahawks secondary situation

Although the Rams receivers will face the Seattle Seahawks without starting Cooper Kupp, that may be offset by injuries in the Seahawks' secondary. Right now, there is uncertainty over DB Devon Witherspoon's availability, and Seahawks safety Jamal Adams has already been ruled out for Week 1:

As you can see there, S Jamal Adams wasn't practicing. Pete Carroll already ruled him out for Week 1. That was in an interview that aired Friday on @933KJR, in which Carroll also said it's going to be "a race" for Witherspoon to get back by the opener.

The Seattle Seahawks shocked the NFL last season. With many expected the team to be in full rebuild mode, the Seahawks ended up with a winning record (9-8) and earning the seventh and final NFC Playoffs berth. Because the Seahawks had amassed a sizeable number of draft picks, as well as receiving a number of young players in the trade of QB Russell Wilson to the Denver Broncos, they expect to end this season with an even better record.

And some NFL analysts are already on board:

That may or may not hold water this season. After all, with a depleter Rams roster and the NFL playoffs hanging in the balance for the Seahawks in the season finale, the Rams pushed the home team Seahawks into overtime before losing by the score of 16-19.
