Seattle Seahawks rookie linebacker Jordyn Brooks will get the start Week 3 against the Dallas Cowboys now that Bruce Irvin has been placed on injured reserve. Irvin sustained an ACL tear against the Patriots and is finished for the season.
Coach Pete Carroll made the announcement during his Wednesday press conference but would not say whether or not Brooks would be at the SAM or WILL spot on Sunday.
“What’s going to happen this week, this is an opportunity for Jordyn Brooks to start,” Carroll told reporters. “We’ll see how that works out. He is going to take the opportunity to step up and be a part of the three-linebacker situation, so we are looking forward to it.”
The Seahawks are slated to kick off against the Cowboys Sunday afternoon at 1:25 p.m. PT from CenturyLink Field.
