In a monumental move, the Week 15 game between the Seattle Seahawks and the Philadelphia Eagles has been flexed to Monday Night Football on December 18. This groundbreaking decision marks the first time in NFL history that a Sunday game has been shifted to Monday, bringing another thrilling prime time matchup to Lumen Field.

Ahead of their upcoming Thursday night clash against the Dallas Cowboys, the Seahawks have announced the activation of tackle Abraham Lucas from injured reserve. Lucas, who suffered a knee injury during the season opener, returned to practice two weeks ago and has demonstrated significant progress. Seahawks coach Pete Carroll expressed his satisfaction with the second-year tackle's performance, stating that Lucas "practiced really well." This positive development has allowed Lucas to make a triumphant comeback and contribute to the team's efforts on the field.

To make room for Lucas on the 53-man roster, the Seahawks had to place guard Phil Haynes on injured reserve. Unfortunately, Haynes has been dealing with a toe injury and did not participate in practice this week. As a result, he will be sidelined for at least four games before becoming eligible to return. The setback is undoubtedly disappointing for Haynes, but the Seahawks organization remains optimistic about his future recovery.

In addition to these roster moves, the Seahawks have also elevated receiver Cody Thompson from the practice squad. Thompson, who has been alternating between the 53-man roster and the practice squad this season, has showcased his skills in six games, primarily focusing on special teams duties.

Preparing for their Thursday Night Football showdown with the 8-3 Cowboys, the Seahawks conducted a walkthrough session in Dallas on Wednesday, November 29. The team's defense, led by linebacker Bobby Wagner and defensive coordinator Clint Hurtt, diligently reviewed their strategies, while running backs Kenneth Walker III and DeeJay Dallas focused on their preparations for the game. Seahawks head coach Pete Carroll also closely supervised the walkthrough, providing guidance and support to his players.

As the Seahawks gear up for their upcoming matchups, the return of Abraham Lucas brings a surge of anticipation and excitement. With the Week 15 game rescheduled for Monday Night Football, the stage is set for an exhilarating encounter between the Seahawks and the Eagles. Fans can expect a memorable night at Lumen Field as both teams battle for glory in an extraordinary football spectacle.
