The Seahawks will get S Julian Love and CB Devon Witherspoon back in the lineup Thursday night. Neither DB carries a game status on the final injury report for Week 4 after each putting in a full practice Wednesday. Rookie S Nick Emmanwori is doubtful, though, while Edge Boye Mafe is questionable.

The Seahawks will likely have to go without S Julian Love, CB Devon Witherspoon, and S Nick Emmanwori for Sunday's game against the Saints. All three DBs are listed as doubtful after missing practice all week.

The Seahawks have ruled rookie DB Nick Emmanwori (ankle) out for Sunday's game against the Steelers. They'll also likely miss CB Devon Witherspoon, who is doubtful with a knee injury. Emmanwori's set to miss multiple games and reportedly an IR candidate. That move would likely come by Saturday if it's happening.

Seahawks rookie S Nick Emmanwori suffered a high ankle sprain on his fifth play of Sunday's loss to the 49ers and now appears likely to miss multiple games.

Seahawks second-year LB Tyrice Knight missed most of the past week of practice with a knee injury, but it sounds like that's the lesser of his two health hurdles at the moment. Bob Condotta of the Seattle Times reports that HC Mike Macdonald said Saturday Knight is "getting close" to returning from the knee issue. But the coach also said an undisclosed medical issue is expected to keep Knight out for multiple weeks.

The Seahawks selected S Nick Emmanwori with the third pick of the second round. Emmanwori might be the most athletic safety to enter the league. He rocked a 4.38-second 40 time at the Combine, at 6'3 and 220 pounds. Emmanwori also delivered a 98th-percentil vertical, 99th-percentile broad jump, and even an 85th-percentile performance in the bench press. And Emmanwori delivered on the field as well. He started all three seasons at South Carolina and led two of those teams in tackles. Emmanwori also snagged 6 INTs over the past two years. That included 4 in 2024, two of which he returned for TDs. Pro Football Focus graded him 16th in coverage last season among 200 FBS safeties who played at least 200 snaps.

The Seahawks have agreed to a three-year, $33 million deal with LB Ernest Jones IV. NFL Network's Ian Rapoport reports that Jones gets $15 million guaranteed. Jones got traded from the Rams to the Titans and then Tennessee to Seattle last season. He played full-time snaps at every stop and finished the season among the top 20 fantasy LBs (depending on your format).

The Seahawks have activated Edge Uchenna Nwosu from IR. He missed the past seven games with a thigh injury. That happened in the first game after he returned from a season-opening knee injury. He's expected to play this Sunday against the Cardinals, according to the team website.

ESPN's Brady Henderson reports that the Seahawks will be releasing LB Tyrel Dodson. The veteran has started all nine Seattle games this season and come off the field for just 10 total snaps. But he also ranks 70th in Pro Football Focus run-defense grade among 78 LBs who have played at least 200 snaps. Dodson has fared much better in coverage (10th). But the Seahawks apparently either disagree or don't care.

Seahawks LB Ernest Jones is active for today's game against the Rams. He was questionable with neck stiffness that popped up late in the week. But Jones should be ready for normal IDP usage.

The Seahawks are sending LB Jerome Baker and a fourth-round pick to the Titans for LB Ernest Jones, according to NFL Network's Tom Pelissero.

Seahawks S Julian Love (hamstring), Edge Derick Hall (foot), and Edge Boye Mafe (knee) are active for tonight's game against the 49ers. All should be ready for planned IDP usage.

Seahawks S Julian Love (thigh) is active for today's game against the Giants, as expected. Edge Boye Mafe (knee) is inactive. It'll be his second straight game missed. Missing Mafe doesn't hurt Seattle as a team D play in a high-upside matchup, though.

Seahawks LB Jerome Baker is inactive for tonight's game against the Lions because of a hamstring injury. He entered the day questionable but managed just one limited practice after missing last week's game. Rookie Tyrice Knight should get a second straight start in his place. Knight played just 57% of snaps a week ago but can be an emergency fill-in for IDP lineups.

Seattle's starting LBs Tyrel Dodson and Jerome Baker are both active for today's game against the Patriots. Both players turned up questionable but should be ready for regular IDP use in a solid matchup.
