More soon — Gregg Bell (@gbellseattle) Earlier in the practice, fellow WR Jake Bobo with what head coach Mike Macdonald later described as a “serious” and “long-term” knee injury. It’s the first big loss of the season for Seattle. Watching Bobo’s season end in one play felt uniquely heartbreaking compared to all the jubilation the franchise has enjoyed since February. It’s also a jarring wake-up call that nothing is guaranteed, not even the next play.

Fortunately, Foster had been one of the standouts of camp so far. He looked like the ready-made fill-in for any wide receiver that went down, especially Bobo. They both profile as big, possession wideouts. for the 53-man roster in Bobo’s place, claiming the WR5 spot behind Jaxon Smith-Njigba, Rashid Shaheed, Cooper Kupp, and Tory Horton Jr. When Foster came off shortly after Bobo, though, the Seahawks were down to Emmanuel Henderson Jr., Cody White, and Ricky White as the next receivers.

In that case, Foster’s outlook can still be just as bright as Bobo’s replacement. Hopefully he’s ready to lead the team in receiving again on Sunday.
