RENTON — Through the first four weeks of the season, the Seattle Seahawks have one of the league’s best defenses despite needing to play various defensive back combinations because of injuries in the secondary. As players in that position group continue to come off the injury report, Seattle might be faced with a logjam that could push out one of its Pro Bowl cornerbacks.
On Sunday morning, Ian Rapoport of the NFL Network reported teams are “monitoring” cornerback Riq Woolen as a potential trade target. The trade deadline is Nov. 4.
On Monday, coach Mike Macdonald was asked about the NFL Network report and his confidence in Woolen.
“If teams are interested in our players, that means we’ve got good players,” Macdonald said. “So, I love having great players.”
