Seahawks' Tyrice Knight: Set to return to practice Wednesday
Rotowire
Seattle coach Mike Macdonald said Knight (concussion) is on track to return to practice Wednesday, Brady Henderson of ESPN.com reports.
Knight suffered a concussion Week 11 against the Rams and didn't play this past Sunday versus Tennessee. Macdonald's comments suggest Knight is showing improvement, but he'll need to clear the NFL's concussion protocol before he's able to suit up for game action. Knight's practice participation level this week should provide more insight into his chance of suiting up for Sunday's matchup against Minnesota.

Seahawks' Tyrice Knight: Not playing vs. Tennessee
Rotowire
Knight (concussion) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Titans, Michael-Shawn Dugar of The Athletic reports.
Knight entered the league's concussion protocol during the Seahawks' loss to the Rams in Week 11, which prevented him from practicing during Week 12 prep. Knight will look to progress enough through the league's protocol to be cleared to practice ahead of Seattle's Week 13 clash against Minnesota. With Knight officially out, Chazz Surratt would be in line for a more prominent role at inside linebacker alongside Drake Thomas if Ernest Jones (knee) is also sidelined for Sunday's road game.

Seahawks' Tyrice Knight: No practice Wednesday
Rotowire
Knight (concussion) did not practice Wednesday, John Boyle of the Seahawks' official site reports.
Knight suffered a concussion during Sunday's loss to the Rams and is in the league's concussion protocol. It's not a big surprise that he wasn't able to practice Wednesday, and he likely faces an uphill battle to be cleared ahead of the Seahawks' Week 12 matchup against the Titans.
Knight (concussion) has been ruled out for the rest of Sunday's game against the Rams.
Knight took a hit to the head while covering on a kickoff in the first quarter and will not return after being diagnosed with a concussion. Chazz Surratt and Patrick O'Connell will be the backup inside linebackers for the rest of Sunday's game in Knight's absence.

Rotowire
Knight is being evaluated for a possible concussion and is questionable to return to Sunday's Week 11 game against the Rams.

Seahawks' Tyrice Knight: Dominant in Week 10 win
Rotowire
Knight tallied eight tackles (six solo), including 2.0 sacks, and forced two fumbles that were both returned for touchdowns Sunday in a 44-22 win against Arizona.
Knight made a huge impact early, as he sacked Jacoby Brissett less than six minutes into the game and forced a fumble that was recovered for a touchdown by DeMarcus Lawrence. Knight remarkably repeated that effort early in the second quarter, again sacking Brissett and forcing another fumble that Lawrence returned for a second TD. Knight's opportunity came as a result of Ernest Jones missing the contest with a knee injury. Since Jones was hurt in Week 9 against Washington, Knight has tallied 18 tackles (including Sunday's 2.0 sacks) across two games.

Seahawks' Tyrice Knight: In line to start vs. Miami
Rotowire
Knight is in line to make his first career NFL start Sunday against Miami due to Jerome Baker (hamstring) being listed as doubtful, Curtis Crabtree of Fox 13 Seattle reports.
Baker had been dealing with a hamstring injury during training camp, and he aggravated it during the Seahawks' Week 2 overtime win over the Patriots. Knight took over for Baker at inside linebacker in that contest, and the former finished with seven tackles (three solo) while playing 42 snaps on defense and 10 on special teams. Knight was known as a run-stopper at UTEP, and the rookie fourth-round pick should see plenty of action at inside linebacker alongside Tyrel Dodson if Baker is inactive Sunday.
