Two elite NFL franchises that have had somewhat decent outings in the current campaign are set to clash in Week 7 of the 2025 NFL season. Coach Mike Macdonald’s Seattle Seahawks will face coach DeMeco Ryans’ Houston Texans on Monday, Oct. 20, on the former’s home pitch, Lumen Field in Seattle, Washington. Both squads are looking to notch back-to-back regular-season wins.
With a sure-fire matchup set to ensue, let’s look at who will be inactive for both teams for the much-awaited Week 7 affair.
Seattle Seahawks
Quarterback Jalen Milroe
Safety Julian Love
Cornerback Devon Witherspoon
Linebacker Jared Ivey
Linebacker Derick Hall
Tackle and guard Mason Richman
Tight end Nick Kallerup
Houston Texans
Wide receiver Christian Kirk
Quarterback Graham Mertz
Running back Dameon Pierce
Defensive end Darrell Taylor
Tackle Jarrett Kingston
Tackle Trent Brown
The Seahawks will not have a couple of their linebackers against the Texans in Ivey and Hall, as well as one of their emergency quarterbacks in Jalen Milroe. Still, there are no indications that Sam Darnold will not be suiting up for Seattle. Coach Macdonald’s team is heading into the matchup, aiming to improve its current overall record of 4-2.
The Texans will also be without one of their rostered quarterbacks in Graham Mertz, meaning starting quarterback CJ Stroud should stay healthy for the matchup. A couple of their tackles in Kingston and Brown are also expected to be sidelined. Houston is coming into the game with a 2-3 overall record as it looks to crack a .500 standing against the Seahawks.
