Seattle Seahawks DST

Player Outlook
The good news is that the Seahawks might have one of the most underrated defenses in the league, coached by one of the better young gameplanners in Mike Macdonald. Their pash rush and secondary have quality talent even though the rest of the world hasn't caught up. The bad news is they start the season against the 49ers, a matchup most Fantasy managers would want to go with to begin the year. But after Week 1, the Seahawks play the Steelers, Saints and Cardinals. That's a pretty good trio of matchups. If you can be patient for a week, you could draft-and-stash the Seahawks for usage starting in Week 2. Or, you could probably just pick them up off waivers after Week 1.

  • Seahawks' Rylie Mills: Starting career on NFI list

    Rotowire
    Mills (knee) was moved to the reserve/non-football injury list Tuesday, John Boyle of the Seahawks' official site reports. Mills will be sidelined for the first four games of the regular season as he continues to recover from an ACL injury in his right knee suffered during his final season of college football at Notre Dame. Once healthy, the rookie fifth-round pick will likely work in a rotational role along Seattle's defensive line.

    Rotowire

Head coach Mike Macdonald explained Monday that the defensive lineman may not be available for Week 1. With Johnathan Hankins (back) potentially also unavailable, Quinton Bohanna could operate as the team's top reserve option at nose tackle behind starter Byron Murphy against San Francisco.

  • Seahawks' Tyler Hall: Picks up knee injury

    Rotowire
    Hall injured his knee during on a special teams play in the first half of Saturday's preseason game against the Packers, Michael-Shawn Dugar of The Athletic reports. Hall suffered the injury when he collided with Jake Bobo (concussion) while attempting to provide blocking coverage on a punt return. Head coach Mike Macdonald told reporters after Saturday's game that Hall's knee injury is structurally fine, and it appears the 26-year-old corner avoided a serious injury. Hall signed a futures contract with the Seahawks in January and has been competing for a spot on the 53-man roster for the 2025 season.

  • Seahawks' Uchenna Nwosu: Participates in workout

    Rotowire
    Nwosu went through a workout in full pads Thursday, John Boyle of the Seahawks' official website reports. Nwosu was reinstated from the active/PUP list Sunday after spending the beginning of training camp on the sidelines while recovering from offseason knee surgery. The linebacker didn't participate in Thursday's joint practice with the Packers, but it's still a positive sign that he was able to log reps in full pads on his own.

  • Seahawks' Tyrice Knight: Should be ready for season opener

    Rotowire
    Knight (knee) is expected to be ready by Week 1 against the 49ers, head coach Mike Macdonald said Thursday, Brady Henderson of ESPN.com reports. Knight's status for the start of the season was previously up in the air as he dealt with a medical issue in addition to a knee injury, but Macdonald's latest update struck an optimistic tone. The starting linebacker won't play in Saturday's preseason finale against the Packers but should be ready prior to the regular-season opener Sept. 7.

  • Seahawks' Uchenna Nwosu: Set to be activated from PUP

    Rotowire

Nwosu opened training camp on the PUP list while recovering from offseason knee surgery, but he is poised to start practicing as training camp winds down. He's unlikely to play in Saturday's preseason finale against the Packers, but the 2018 second-rounder is on track to being available for Week 1 against the 49ers on Sunday, Sept. 7. Nwosu appeared in just six regular-season games in 2024 due to separate lower-body injuries and finished with 14 tackles (eight solo), including 1.0 sacks, and one pass defense.

    Rotowire
    Seahawks head coach Mike Macdonald said Saturday that Knight (knee) will miss a "couple weeks" and is dealing with a "medical issue" in addition to his knee injury, Brady Henderson of ESPN.com reports. Macdonald declined to specify the exact nature of Knight's knee injury or medical issue, but it at least appears the second-year pro is expected to be back in action ahead of Week 1. It remains to be seen, though, whether Knight will be cleared to suit up in either of Seattle's two remaining preseason games. He sat out Thursday's preseason opener against the Raiders, a 23-23 tie.

  • Seahawks' Jerrick Reed: Makes five stops in tie

    Rotowire
    Reed (quadriceps) made five tackles (three solo) in Thursday's 23-23 tie versus the Raiders. Reed's 2024 season ended on injured reserve due to a quadriceps injury. He's back to full health and played the second half of Thursday's preseason contest. Reed is likely on the roster bubble after the Seahawks drafted Nick Emmanwori in the second round, so he'll need to stand out on special teams to secure a spot.

He's listed as the starting WLB on the Seahawks' unofficial depth chart.

  • Seahawks' Shaquill Griffin: Back with team Tuesday

    Rotowire
    Griffin (personal) was present during Tuesday's training camp practice, Gregg Bell of The Tacoma News Tribune reports. Per Brady Henderson of ESPN.com, Griffin had missed the prior week and a half of team activities due to a personal matter. He did not practice Tuesday despite his presence, so it's still unclear whether he'll be available for Thursday's preseason bout versus the Raiders. Until he's back with the team in a full capacity, 2024 fifth-rounder Nehemiah Pritchett is a candidate to see increased work.
