RENTON – Jordan Morris might be done for the season.
The Seattle Sounders attacker left Saturday’s game in the 23rd minute with a quad injury. On Tuesday, it was revealed that he will likely be out 4–8 weeks, according to Sounders head coach Brian Schmetzer.
“I know that’s a big thing,” Schmetzer said. “We’re getting another set of eyes on the MRI.”
Even if Morris were to return on the short side of that diagnosis, the Sounders would need to qualify for the Western Conference finals (Dec. 11 or 12) for him to play again this year.
After enjoying three relatively injury-free seasons from 2022–24, Morris has struggled to stay healthy in each of the past two seasons. Last year, three separate injuries limited him to about 1,300 minutes. This is Morris’ third injury in 2026 and he’ll likely finish just shy of 1,600 minutes.
“They’re going all the way back because we’re just trying to dig up everything we can to make sure we get a good diagnosis, to get a good starting point on Jordan’s rehab,” Schmetzer said. “I’d like to have him for the playoffs. I’d love to do it if there’s any way, shape or form.”
Other injury news
Schmetzer was more optimistic about the potential returns of Alex Roldan (calf) and Yeimar Gomez Andrade (hamstring), saying both would be out a week to 10 days. That would potentially put them in line to be available against Real Salt Lake on Nov. 19 in the Western Conference Wild Card match.
“They’re very close,” Schmetzer said. “These are playoff games, so my risk/reward might be a little skewed for those players.”
