The Seattle Seahawks had a lot of high hopes for rookie wide receiver Dee Eskridge, but he had a truncated training camp and preseason due to injury and then suffered a bad concussion in his regular season debut. Obviously head trauma and anything to do with the brain is not to be messed with, so Eskridge’s concussion was serious enough that he was out of action until after the bye week.
There was hope that Eskridge’s return could spark a sputtering Seahawks offense, especially since the few touches he got against the Indianapolis Colts showed off his speed and explosiveness.
