Hockenson already out for the year, the Lions signed Jared Pinkney from the Rams’ practice squad. KEY INJURIES: Detroit is short-handed at tight end as Shane Zylstra suffered a season-ending knee injury in Atlanta, and Brock Wright was placed on the reserve/COVID-19 list. Seattle is tied for the league lead with New Orleans allowing 3.7 yards per carry. Seattle’s been stingy against the run, holding four of its past six opponents under 100 yards rushing. Detroit has at least 100 yards rushing in six of the past seven games and should have leading rusher D’Andre Swift back. KEY MATCHUP: One thing the Lions have done well recently is run the ball. Wagner carries a hefty $20 million cap hit in the final year of his contract next season. But for all he’s accomplished in his 10 seasons with the Seahawks, it’s possible this could be his final home game - depending on how significant the changes are this offseason for Seattle. He leads the league with 170 going into Sunday’s game. SEAHAWKS PLAYER TO WATCH: Bobby Wagner has already set a career high and franchise record for tackles in a single season. Last week against the Falcons, he set a career high with 91 receiving yards. Brown ranked second among wide receivers in receptions (35) and fourth in receiving yards (340) for the entire month. The rookie receiver had one of the best Decembers of any NFL pass catcher this season. TURNOVER DIFFERENTIAL: Bears minus-4 Seahawks plus-3.
