Returning starters must earn their paychecks
Rayshawn Jenkins, Noah Fant return to hot seats
The Seahawks will start Rayshawn Jenkins at safety on Sunday after he had missed the past four games with a hand injury, and Mike Macdonald is optimistic that Noah Fant will also return after missing the past two games with a groin injury. Given Seattle’s somewhat improved performances lately and that their younger, cheaper backups played at least as well as they had been playing, both Jenkins and Fant are fighting for long-term security over the next seven games.
They are not the only ones.
