Seahawks QB Geno Smith a game-time decision vs. 49ers due to groin injury

Associated Press  

RENTON, Wash. — The Seattle Seahawks listed quarterback Geno Smith as questionable for Sunday’s game against San Francisco. Seattle coach Pete Carroll said after practice on Friday that Smith “tweaked his groin” on Thursday when he stumbled over somebody. The injury could lead to backup Drew Lock making his first start since being acquired by the Seahawks as part of the trade that sent Russell Wilson to Denver before the 2022 season. He appeared affected by the injury in the first meeting with the 49ers that came just a few days later on Thanksgiving night, but Smith rebounded to have one of his best games of the season on Nov. 30 when he threw for 334 yards and three touchdowns in a loss at Dallas.
