2) Is there a particular injury/injured player that concerns you the most going into Week Three?

Vowell: The Seahawks lost two players to injury for the season last week, Bruce Irvin and Marquise Blair. The pass rush was bad even with Irvin so being without him doesn’t hurt all that much in the grand scheme.

Plus, Seattle could get defensive end Rasheem Green back this week. But Blair was starting to do really well at slot corner, even though is really a safety. Blair is young and fast and can hit.

Being without Blair makes the defensive backs thin and less physical. If either Quandre Diggs or Jamal Adams go down with injury this leaves Lano Hill as the backup.

He isn’t as good or as fast as Blair. If nickelback Ugo Amadi goes down with injury, the Cowboys should throw every down to the receiver being covered by whoever takes Amadi’s place.
