Austin (shoulder) was placed on the reserve/COVID-19 list Saturday, John Boyle of the Seahawks' official site reports.
Austin was previously questionable with a shoulder injury, but he will now miss Sunday against the Bears due to COVID. With D.J. Reed also on the COVID list and yet to clear protocols, the Seahawks' secondary will be ailing Sunday against the Bears. John Reid will likely see a significant uptick in snaps.
