INJURY UPDATE: Seahawks Lose Key Cornerback with 90 Tackles and 14 Pass Breakups After Third-Quarter Collision in Commanders Game – Head Coach Mike Macdonald Admits, “This Will Be a Tough Stretch for the Entire Seattle Team”

Seattle, Washington – November 4, 2025

The Seattle Seahawks’ dominant 38–14 win over the Washington Commanders came at a painful cost when cornerback Josh Jobe left the game in the third quarter after a violent collision that resulted in a concussion. According to team medical staff, Jobe has entered the NFL’s official concussion protocol and will be monitored throughout the week to determine his availability for the next game.

Before the injury, Josh Jobe had quietly become one of Seattle’s most dependable defensive pieces, recording 90 tackles (70 solo), 14 pass deflections, and 2 interceptions for 33 return yards. His story is one of perseverance — from an undrafted rookie with the Philadelphia Eagles (2022–2024) to a trusted rotational cornerback under head coach Mike Macdonald, representing exactly what the Seahawks’ “next man up” culture stands for.

“This is going to be a tough stretch for the entire Seattle team,” Coach Mike Macdonald admitted after the game. “Josh embodies everything we’re trying to build here — discipline, toughness, and resilience. Losing him isn’t just about what happens on the field; it’s about losing a voice and a presence that holds others accountable.”

Yet it was Macdonald’s next statement that stirred curiosity and emotion among reporters — a moment that hinted at something deeper within the locker room.

“There were things I saw tonight that made me think,” Macdonald said, his tone dropping. “Not just about Josh’s injury, but about how we respond when adversity hits. How we stand together — or don’t. Next week will tell me a lot about who we really are.”

Team officials confirmed that Jobe was alert and responsive after leaving the field and has since returned to team facilities for further evaluation. However, he is expected to miss at least one game as a precaution.

His absence will be a significant loss for a Seahawks secondary already tested by injuries, especially as the team prepares to face the Arizona Cardinals next week at State Farm Stadium — a team known for its deep passing threats and quick-tempo offense.

“We don’t rely on luck — we rely on preparation,” Macdonald emphasized. “And if we lose one man, the other ten have to make up for it twice over.”

For Seattle, the challenge ahead isn’t just tactical — it’s emotional. With Josh Jobe sidelined, the Seahawks will now have to prove that their defensive identity, built on effort, discipline, and brotherhood, can withstand even the toughest of hits.
