After the Seahawks' loss to the Packers, head coach Mike Macdonald provided an update on quarterback Geno Smith's knee injury, stating that it is structurally okay but severe enough to prevent him from returning to the game. The team will conduct further tests to determine the extent of the injury, but it appears likely that Smith will miss time. In his absence, Sam Howell, who struggled in relief, would take over as the starter.

• Geno Smith's injury could lead to significant changes for the Seahawks' offense.
• Sam Howell's performance as a backup raises concerns for the team's passing game.
