Seahawks' Ty Okada: Won't suit up Sunday
Okada (hamstring) has been ruled out ahead of Sunday's game against the Commanders, John Boyle of the Seahawks' official site reports.
Okada has not practiced since suffering a hamstring issue in the lead-up to the Seahawks' Week 1 win over the Patriots. AJ Finley will likely start at strong safety opposite Rodney Thomas at free safety, who is filling in for Julian Love (calf). With both starters out, coach Mike MacDonald will likely lean even more heavily on star slot cornerback Nick Emmanwori.

Seahawks' Ty Okada: Logs another DNP
Okada (hamstring) did not practice Thursday, Brady Henderson of ESPN.com reports.
Okada has not participated in a practice nor played in a regular-season game since injuring his hamstring in early September. He would be a longshot to play against the Commanders on Sunday unless he practices in at least a limited capacity Friday. Julian Love (calf) also missed Thursday's practice, so AJ Finley and Rodney Thomas could be the starting safeties for the Seahawks in Week 3.

Seahawks' Ty Okada: Misses practice Wednesday
Okada (hamstring) did not participate at the Seahawks' practice Wednesday, John Boyle of the team's official site reports.
Okada has missed both of the team's first two games of the season while recovering from a hamstring injury that he suffered ahead of Week 1. The safety will have two more chances to return to practice prior to Sunday's matchup with Washington.

Seahawks' Ty Okada: Won't play Sunday
Okada (hamstring) has been ruled out ahead of Sunday's game against the Cardinals, John Boyle of the Seahawks' official site reports.
Okada missed a second straight week of practice and will not suit up for Sunday's divisional contest with the Cardinals. The strong safety remains sidelined due to a hamstring injury and doesn't appear particularly close to returning to the field. Rodney Thomas will likely be elevated for the second consecutive game to help make up for Okada's absence.

Seahawks' Ty Okada: Misses practice again
Okada (hamstring) did not participate in practice Thursday, Bob Condotta of The Seattle Times reports.
The safety missed his fifth straight practice session to open the regular season and also didn't play in Week 1 against the Patriots. Okada does not appear ready to return for Week 2, either, although more clarity on that front will be gleaned when the Seahawks release their final injury report of the week Friday.

Seahawks' Ty Okada: DNP Wednesday
Okada (hamstring) did not participate in Wednesday's practice, John Boyle of the Seahawks' official site reports
Okada has now missed four consecutive regular-season practice sessions with a hamstring injury. The Seahawks' starting strong safety does not appear to have improved much since being ruled out ahead of last Sunday's 13-10 win over the Patriots. Okada will likely miss next Sunday's contest against the Cardinals, leaving Rodney Thomas to once again be elevated from the practice squad to the active roster for a role in the team's secondary.

Seahawks' Ty Okada: Unavailable for Week 1
Okada (hamstring) has been ruled out for Wednesday night's contest against the Patriots, Curtis Crabtree of Fox 13 Seattle reports.
Okada was unavailable for practice all week long as a result of a hamstring injury and he will now be forced to miss the regular-season opener. The Seahawks may have to get creative in the secondary with Bud Clark (ankle) already expected to miss multiple months of action.

Seahawks' Ty Okada: Misses consecutive sessions
Okada (hamstring) did not participate in Monday's practice, Corbin K. Smith of SI.com reports.
Okada sat out Sunday's practice as well, marking consecutive missed sessions due to the hamstring injury. It appears increasingly unlikely the 27-year-old will be able to suit up for Wednesday's Week 1 matchup against the Patriots, and it remains to be seen who'll slide into Okada's starting strong safety role if he's indeed sidelined.

Seahawks' Ty Okada: DNP with new injury
Okada (hamstring) did not participate in Sunday's practice, John Boyle of the Seahawks' official site reports.
Okada's absence due to injury does not bode well for the strong safety's chances to suit up in Wednesday's NFL opener against the Patriots. With Bud Clark on IR, D'Anthony Bell may get an elevation to the active roster from the practice squad to start or support one of the other defensive backs for Week 1.

Seahawks' Ty Okada: Signs tender with champs
Okada signed his exclusive-rights tender with the Seahawks on Monday, John Boyle of the team's official site reports.
Okada is set to make $1.145 million over the 2026 campaign. The safety had a breakout year in 2025, starting 11 games for the Seahawks' secondary during the regular season and helping to secure the team's second Super Bowl win in franchise history. While the exclusive-rights tender locks Okada into a one-year deal, it is likely the ascending defensive back will see a much larger payday after the 2026 season concludes.

Seahawks' Ty Okada: Gets tendered by Seattle
The Seahawks tendered Okada to a one-year, league-minimum contract Monday, John Boyle of the team's official site reports.
By being tendered as an exclusive rights free agent, Okada will not have the ability to negotiate a contract with another team this offseason. The Montana State product played in nine regular-season games from 2023 to 2024 and saw limited playing time. However, Okada started in 11 of 17 regular-season games in 2025 due to various injuries in the Seahawks' secondary and finished with 65 tackles (46 solo), including 1.5 sacks, six pass defenses (one interception) and one fumble recovery. Given his strong play last season, Okada should have a shot at earning a more permanent role on defense in 2026.

Okada (oblique) was a full participant in practice Thursday, John Boyle of the Seahawks' official site reports.
The safety was limited in Wednesday's session. Okada has been dealing with the injury since Week 12 but has not missed any time, and he appears likely to play again this Sunday against the Colts.

Seahawks' Ty Okada: Back on injury report
Okada (oblique) was limited in Wednesday's practice, Corbin K. Smith of SI.com reports.
Okada suffered a seemingly serious oblique injury in Week 12 but ultimately didn't miss any time. He's been on the injury report since, though he appears likely to suit up in Week 15 against the Colts.

Seahawks' Ty Okada: Full participant Thursday
Okada (oblique) was a full participant in practice Thursday after being limited Wednesday, John Boyle of the Seahawks' official site reports.
The starting free safety played through the injury in Week 13 against the Vikings and stayed on the field for 96 percent of Seattle's defensive snaps, so his limited participation Wednesday was likely precautionary. Okada looks on track to play Sunday against Atlanta. He has 49 tackles (32 solo), including 1.5 sacks, five pass breakups, including one interception, and a fumble recovery on the year.

Seahawks' Ty Okada: Limited in practice
Okada (oblique) was a limited participant in Seattle's practice Wednesday, John Boyle of the team's official site reports.
Okada played through his injury during the Week 13 win over the Vikings, so his reduced workload in practice is likely precautionary. The 26-year-old should continue to serve as the team's starting free safety during Sunday's matchup versus Atlanta.

Seahawks' Ty Okada: Good to go
Okada (oblique) is active for Sunday's matchup with the Vikings.
The safety suffered the injury last week against Tennessee and appeared to possibly be headed for injured reserve, as Seattle coach Mike Macdonald relayed after the contest, per Brady Henderson of ESPN.com. However, Okada returned to practice Thursday and entered the weekend with a questionable tag. Now that he's good to go, he should be in line to start Sunday.
