Seattle Seahawks rookie left guard Grey Zabel (knee), rookie wide receiver Tory Horton (shin) and linebacker Tyrice Knight (concussion) each sat out practice Wednesday, as head coach Mike Macdonald had indicated would be the case when he spoke to the media earlier in the afternoon.

Rookie fullback Robbie Ouzts also didn’t practice due to a personal matter, according to the team’s practice report. Ouzts was also listed with an elbow injury.
Zabel, who has started all 10 games at left guard this season, suffered a knee injury in the closing minutes of Seattle’s 21-19 loss to the Los Angeles Rams on Sunday. Macdonald said Monday that imaging on Zabel’s left knee showed no significant injury and that the first-round draft pick was “day to day.”
Horton has missed the past two games due to groin and shin injuries. Knight is in concussion protocol after delivering a big hit on a kickoff against the Rams.
Safety Coby Bryant (foot) and defensive end Mike Morris (knee) were both limited participants on Wednesday with what appear to be new injuries, as neither was listed with those injuries on last week’s practice report. NFL-leading wide receiver Jaxon Smith-Njigba, veteran defensive lineman Leonard Williams and veteran defensive end DeMarcus Lawrence were also listed as limited with rest days.
Linebacker Ernest Jones IV (knee) was a full participant in practice Wednesday. After missing one game with a knee injury, he returned on Sunday to play all 51 defensive snaps against the Rams.
The Seahawks (7-3) face the NFL-worst Tennessee Titans (1-9) in Nashville on Sunday.
