Good to go Sunday
Cross (toe) has no injury designation ahead of Sunday's game against the Cardinals, Brady Henderson of ESPN.com reports.
ANALYSIS
Cross missed three games after suffering a toe injury during Seattle's Week 1 loss to the Rams, but he seems to have moved past the issue, as he started during the team's Week 5 contest and has no injury designation ahead of Sunday. The 2022 first-round pick is expected to slide back into his role as the Seahawks' starting left tackle.

Practices Thursday

Unavailable Monday
Cross (toe) has been ruled out for Monday's matchup with the Giants.
ANALYSIS
Cross will be unavailable for a third straight contest while he continues to nurse a toe injury he suffered in the season opener.

Doubtful Monday
Cross (toe) is listed as doubtful ahead of Monday night's game against the Giants, John Boyle of the Seahawks' official site reports.
ANALYSIS
The ninth-overall pick in the 2022 NFL Draft will likely miss his third consecutive game, as he continues to recover from the toe injury he suffered during Seattle's Week 1 loss to the Rams. If Cross does miss Monday night's contest, Stone Forsythe is expected to continue filling in at left tackle.

Won't play at Detroit
Coach Pete Carroll said Friday that Cross (toe) won't play in Sunday's game at the Lions, Stacy Jo Rost of SeattleSports.com reports.
ANALYSIS
Despite reportedly making good progress in his recovery from the toe injury he sustained in Week 1, Cross will have to sit out at least one game as he deals with the issue. With other starting tackle Abraham Lucas on IR, Seattle will have to get creative on its offensive line until Cross is healthy enough to play again.

Misses practice Wednesday
Cross (toe) did not participate at the Seahawks' practice Wednesday, John Boyle of the Seahawks' official site reports.
ANALYSIS
Cross was forced to miss Seattle's first practice of the week after being carted off the field in Week 1 with a sprained toe. Head coach Pete Carroll said Wednesday that the offensive lineman is "hurting" and that it's going to be a "challenge" for him to play in Week 2, Michael-Shawn Dugar of The Athletic reports. Fellow offensive tackle Abraham Lucas (kneecap) was placed on injured reserve while veteran Jason Peters was signed to the practice squad earlier this week.

Dealing with turf toe
Cross is considered week-to-week with turf toe, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.
ANALYSIS
Cross was carted off the field in Sunday's contest against the Rams and did not return. X-rays after the game didn't show major damage but the 2022 first-round pick could miss time. Rapaport also notes that the Seahawks are bringing 41-year-old Jason Peters in for a visit Tuesday after injuries to Cross and Abraham Lucas (knee).

Managing toe injury
Cross is questionable to return to Sunday's game against the Rams due to a toe injury, John Boyle of the Seahawks' official site reports.
ANALYSIS
Cross was carted off the field in the third quarter of Sunday's matchup, and it's unclear whether he'll be able to return. His injury leaves Seattle especially shorthanded on the offensive line, as Abraham Lucas (knee) is also questionable to return. If Cross is unable to return to the game, Stone Forsythe will likely see increased playing time.
