The good injury news giveth, and the bad injury news taketh away. Such has been life for the Seattle Seahawks at their right tackle position. On Wednesday afternoon, the Seahawks announced they were placing third-string right tackle Stone Forsythe on injured reserve. He will be out for a minimum of four games.

Forsythe was pressed into service after starter Abe Lucas began the season on the PUP list and backup George Fant was injured in Week 1. Forsythe has struggled for the majority of this season, surrendering by far the most pressures of any tackle in the league according to PFF.

Last week against the Atlanta Falcons, Forsythe missed the first game of the season with a hand injury. Starting in his place was sixth round rookie Michael Jerrell, who performed admirably, and could perhaps be a viable option moving forward at the position.

Still, it's hard to be too upset with this news, especially considering it came on the same day when it was announced both Lucas and Fant would be returning to practice.

Additionally, the Seahawks claimed linebacker Josh Ross off of waivers. Ross is now reunited with both his former college and NFL defensive coordinator, Mike Macdonald. Ross was a Michigan Wolverine who played his senior year under Macdonald in Ann Arbor, and the first two years of his NFL career with him in Baltimore.

Ross is familiar with Macdonald's system, and despite playing in only 12 games in the league, having someone with his knowledge is paramount.
