The Unlucky 13: Hawks Receiving Corps in Tatters; Add K-Rob, Colbert
"Wordle: seawrs," by Wordle
Riddled with an unprecedented number of injuries at one position, the Seahawks have had 13 different receivers on their active roster in the first 16 days of the season. Last year, by comparison, the team had eight receivers on the roster all season.
With Logan Payne heading to the IR and ersatz receiver/back-up QB Seneca Wallace facing a month off with a tweaked calf, the Hawks are going back to the future by signing free agent and former Seahawk Koren Robinson. Fox Sports is reporting that the team has also traded a late-round draft pick to the Denver Broncos for WR Keary Colbert.
Robinson was a former first-round draft pick by the Seahawks in 2001 and was cut by the team in 2004 after a series of disciplinary problems. Robinson made the Pro Bowl in 2005 as a returner for the Vikings, and was arrested on six counts, including DUI and fleeing and eluding police after a drunken high-speed chase near the Vikings training camp in Mankato Minn.
With Robinson, the team adds a player who has years of experience in the Holmgren offense, as well as a seasoned punt and kick returner.
Pictured are receivers who have been on the Seahawk roster since training camp.

There is no way I can express my feelings with just words.
Luckily, the moment Nate got hurt, I looked at the Sunday Funnies. I noticed the prophetic Charlie Brown in his last panel screaming "I'll never understand what just happened!"
So true.
So true.

I hear ya, T.
Would have thought that in week 2 we'd be glued to the waiver wires looking for a couple of guys who will be starting in 4 days?

This is insane. We already need a do-over for the season? Already?! I feel like my ACL will pop just from watching a Hawks game.

I pulled a hammy just writing it.
