The Seahawks continue a rough part of their schedule with the Buffalo Bills this Sunday.

The 4-3 Seahawks are coming off a statement win over the Atlanta Falcons last weekend that cemented their place atop the NFC West division.

DK Metcalf is listed as doubtful, but coach Mike Macdonald says there’s a chance he plays despite not practicing all week with a Grade 1 MCL sprain.

Seattle’s getting healthier in its secondary, with Riq Woolen returning and Tre Brown “trending positively” towards playing as well, according to Macdonald.

Meanwhile, the AFC East leading Bills are looking for their third straight win.

They’re also facing a pair of injuries to their starters, with linebacker Terrel Bernard and receiver Curtis Samuel both ruled out for the game.

The Seahawks will look to become the first team to pick off Bills quarterback Josh Allen, who has yet to throw an interception this season.
