Seattle SoundersAvailable off bench vs. Chicago
Morris (quadriceps) is on the bench for Saturday's game against the Fire.
Analysis: Morris should be a key player for Seattle when healthy, and if things get complicated in this match, there's a high chance he could see minutes off the bench. If that's the case, those would be his first minutes since July 17, as the veteran forward has missed the Sounders' last five league matches while rehabbing from the injury.
Out four weeks with quad injury
Morris is likely to miss the next few weeks and may not return until after the Leagues Cup while works on his recovery from a quad issue, Michael Martinez of Cascadia FC reports.
Analysis: Morris is among Seattle's most important attacking players, a USMNT international whose work rate, direct running in behind, and finishing ability make him the player around whom the Sounders' offensive game plan is built. His quad injury is the most impactful new item in an already crowded Seattle injury report, and the club's ability to threaten consistently in the final third drops considerably without him available. With Morris expected to require multiple weeks to make a full recovery, Danny Musovski will look to take advantage of the opportunity to start in the front line for as long as the veteran is absent.
Scores and assists in 2-1 win
Morris scored one goal and assisted once from one shot and one chance created in Saturday's 2-1 win against FC Dallas.
Analysis: Morris made his first start since the opening day of the season when he came off after eight minutes with an injury. He scored his first goal of the season and provided his second assist of the year as he helped Seattle Sounders win 2-1. Both goals came in the first half. His goal came from his only shot on target of the season and his assist came from his only chance created of the match.
