2026 Outlook
Oct 31 — High-ankle sprain in Week 7; timeline 1-2 weeks: Charles Cross suffered a high-ankle sprain during Seattle's statement win over Kansas City, forcing an MRI that confirmed the diagnosis. The Seahawks hope for a return in one to two weeks depending on rehab, but the timing is unfortunate: Seattle hosts Chicago Monday night (Week 8), where Jeffery Simmons and Montez Sweat—the Bears' newly acquired and returning defensive line duo—could test a backup left tackle. Veteran Josh Jones is filling in for Cross at the position (per Mississippi State NFL Alumni Get Major News on Both Sides).
Cross is a critical anchor for the Seahawks' offensive line and any extended absence could impact the passing game and offensive efficiency. The one-to-two week timeline suggests a conservative approach, with potential return by Week 9 if recovery progresses normally.
