Witherspoon suffered a hip pointer in Sunday's loss to the 49ers, not bruised ribs, head coach Pete Carroll stated Monday, John Boyle of the Seahawks' official site reports.
EDGE Analysis
Witherspoon was unable to return to the game after suffering the injury and it's not clear how much time the rookie corner may miss. More details should emerge as the team releases its first injury report later in the week.

Head coach Pete Carroll noted after Sunday's 28-16 loss to the 49ers that Witherspoon is dealing with bruised ribs, Bob Condotta of The Seattle Times reports.
EDGE Analysis
Witherspoon sustained the rib injury midway through the first quarter and did not return to the game. Artie Burns filled in for Witherspoon at nickel, but the former also left Sunday's game with a knee injury. Witherspoon will have an extra day off to recover from the injury ahead of Week 15 against the Eagles on Mon. Dec. 18.

Witherspoon recorded seven tackles (six solo), two sacks and a pick-six during Seattle's 24-3 win against the Giants on Monday.
EDGE Analysis
Witherspoon had the best game of his young career, notching both his first ever sack and interception, which he returned 97-yards for a touchdown to help seal the game. The rookie first-round pick will look to build off of this strong performance against the Bengals following Seattle's Week 5 bye.

Witherspoon (hamstring) doesn't carry an injury designation into Sunday's game against the Lions, Bob Condotta of The Seattle Times reports.
EDGE Analysis
Witherspoon missed Seattle's season opener, but he put in a full week of practice and is ready to make his NFL debut in Detroit. The 2023 first-round pick should help shore up a secondary that allowed over 100 receiving yards to two different Rams wide receivers in Week 1, even though Los Angeles was playing without Cooper Kupp (hamstring).

Witherspoon (hamstring) was a full participant in practice Wednesday, John Boyle of the Seahawks' official site reports.
EDGE Analysis
Witherspoon had been dealing with a hamstring issue since early August and didn't play in Seattle's season opener. Per Bob Condotta of The Seattle Times, Wednesday's practice was the cornerback's first full session since Aug. 7. It appears likely that Witherspoon will be able to make his season debut in Detroit on Sunday.

Witherspoon (hamstring) is inactive for Sunday's game against the Rams, Bob Condotta of The Seattle Times reports.
EDGE Analysis
Witherspoon has been dealing with a hamstring injury since early August. It was expected that he would miss Sunday's game and will have his next chance to make his NFL debut in Week 2 against the Lions. Tre Brown and Mike Jackson are set for elevated work opposite starting cornerback Riq Woolen.

Witherspoon (hamstring) is not expected to play against the Rams on Sunday, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.
EDGE Analysis
The 2023 first-round selection out of Illinois had been sidelined for just under a month before participating in Seahawks practice as a limited participant this past week. Seattle seems to be playing it safe with their young corner, and the team hopes Witherspoon can make his debut during next week's contest against Detroit.

Witherspoon (hamstring) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game versus the Rams, Michael-Shawn Dugar of The Athletic reports.
EDGE Analysis
Coach Pete Carroll suggested a week ago that Witherspoon was unlikely to play in Seattle's regular-season opener, so he should be presumed to be on the 'doubtful' end of the questionable designation. One of Tre Brown or Mike Jackson would probably start in Witherspoon's place across from Riq Woolen.
