Seahawks-Titans Thursday injury report: Grey Zabel returns to practice

Seahawks-Titans Thursday injury report: Grey Zabel returns to practice

The knee injury suffered by Seattle Seahawks rookie left guard Grey Zabel hasn’t kept him off the field for too long.

Zabel practiced on a limited basis on Thursday, having missed Wednesday’s practice. Mike Macdonald said Zabel was “day-to-day” after avoiding serious injury in the loss to the Los Angeles Rams. Even if Zabel doesn’t play Week 12 against the Tennessee Titans, the fact that he practiced in any capacity when the worst was feared a few days ago is highly encouraging.

For discouraging news, it’s looking like another missed week for Tory Horton due to his shin injury, which...

Bills vs. Texans ‘Thursday Night Football’ live discussion

Week 12 of the 2025 NFL season begins Thursday night in Houston, where the Buffalo Bills travel to play the Houston Texans. Buffalo is 7-3, which is not good enough to lead the AFC East right now given the scorching hot performance of the New England Patriots, while the Texans have rallied from an 0-3 start to pull to 5-5.

For a third straight game, C.J. Stroud is out with a concussion, so Davis Mills will look to make it 3-0 in starts in his absence. They rallied from a 19-point 4th quarter deficit to beat the Jacksonville Jaguars two...

Seahawks add interior offensive line depth by signing former Bears draft pick

Seahawks add interior offensive line depth by signing former Bears draft pick

The constant practice squad shuffling throughout the season continues once again. It was announced on Thursday that the Seattle Seahawks have signed center Doug Kramer to the practice squad.

The addition of Kramer comes after a workout earlier in the week. This addition makes sense as well as the Seahawks are suddenly thin at the center position, having placed starter Jalen Sundell on injured reserve ahead of Week 11. With Sundell missing at least the next three games, that leaves Olu Oluwatimi as the starter with either Christian Haynes ([who may be playing left guard in place of injured...

A crazy oddity in the history of Seahawks vs. Titans

A crazy oddity in the history of Seahawks vs. Titans

The Seattle Seahawks are currently 13.5-point favorites against the Tennessee Titans, whose only win on the season was one of the flukiest comebacks ever against the Arizona Cardinals. They’ve been at least competitive in close losses to the Los Angeles Chargers and Houston Texans in recent weeks, but 1-9 is 1-9 and they look like the worst team in football.

On paper, the Seahawks should stomp out the Titans and live up to their status as the biggest road favorite in franchise history.

And yet, something about this particular matchup leads to close games no matter how good or bad...

Seahawks-Titans Week 12 Wednesday injury report: Grey Zabel held out of practice

Seahawks-Titans Week 12 Wednesday injury report: Grey Zabel held out of practice

There’s quite a hefty Seattle Seahawks injury report to go over heading into the away game against the Tennessee Titans in Week 12. Grey Zabel did not participate with the knee injury suffered against the Los Angeles Rams, but the prognosis is much better than it looked at the time with Mike Macdonald saying Zabel is day-to-day. Tyrice Knight (self-inflicted concussion) and Tory Horton (shin) also did not participate in Wednesday’s practice. The only other player who missed practice was Robbie Ouzts, who was gone due to a personal matter.

Coby Bryant popped up as a limited participant with a...

Mike Macdonald reveals left guard plan if Grey Zabel misses time

Mike Macdonald reveals left guard plan if Grey Zabel misses time

A contingency plan has been put into place at the Seattle Seahawks’ left guard position.

The Seattle Seahawks will be starting Christian Haynes at left guard vs. the Tennessee Titans on Sunday if Grey Zabel is not ready to return to action. Head coach Mike Macdonald made the announcement during Wednesday’s press conference as reported by FOX 13 Seattle’s Curtis Crabtree.

Seattle’s rookie guard suffered a knee injury in the team’s loss to the Los Angeles Rams in Week 11, and was designated as day-to-day on Monday. Zabel started all of the Seahawks’ first 10 games prior to being taken...

Mike Macdonald rules Johnathan Hankins out for season

Mike Macdonald rules Johnathan Hankins out for season

One of the (literal) larger pieces on the Seahawks defense will not see the field in the 2025 season.

Sadly, nose tackle Johnathan Hankins has been ruled out for the remainder of the current NFL campaign, as he has been battling a back issue since training camp.

This is the big run-plugger’s 13th season in the National Football League. He was re-signed by Seattle after playing in all 17 games for the blue and green last year. The re-signing was celebrated after his durability, his five TFLs, and his first career interception. Hankins led all nose tackles in TFLs after...

Four Down Territory: Seahawks somehow prove everyone right and wrong, for now

It was built up as the biggest game in years for the Seattle Seahawks, and it truly felt like it. Despite everything that went wrong against the Los Angeles Rams on Sunday, the Seahawks found themselves with a field goal opportunity to pull off an epic win, and take a stranglehold on the NFC West. Instead, Seattle fell 21-19, and will have to regroup after one of the more complex defeats in the Mike Macdonald era.

Let’s break it down.

Seahawks All-22 Review: The good and bad from Seattle’s rookies versus the Rams

Seahawks All-22 Review: The good and bad from Seattle’s rookies versus the Rams

The Seattle Seahawks rookies combined for 183 snaps in Week 11 against the Los Angeles Rams. Tory Horton’s absence impacted these numbers. It’s worth noting that the majority of these snaps, 122, were between the Seahawks’ first two picks, Grey Zabel and Nick Emmanwori.

Let’s analyze some of the key plays from this game!

Grey Zabel, Guard (74 snaps)

I usually use PFF only as a guide in terms of grades. But, according to PFF, Zabel had the worst grade in run blocking (38.9) and the seventh best grade in pass blocking (64), giving up two pressures. Regardless of...
