The Seattle Seahawks have continued their roster shuffling, this time on the practice squad.
On Tuesday, the Seahawks have released cornerback Mike Reid and tight end Marshall Lang. The replacements are running back/kick returner Velus Jones Jr and wide receiver Brenden Rice, son of Seahawks legend Jerry Rice.
In total, the Seahawks worked out eight players: quarterback Hendon Hooker, wide receiver/running back Velus Jones, center Doug Kramer, and five additional wide receivers (Montorie Foster, Jaylen Johnson, Dymere Miller, Jalen Reagor, and Brenden Rice).
The workout of former Detroit Lions third-round pick Hooker is interesting as Seattle already has three quarterbacks...

Last week, after the Seattle Seahawks blew out the Arizona Cardinals, the national media were beginning to view the Seattle Seahawks as legitimate Super Bowl contenders. However, after a close loss to the Los Angeles Rams, will this bubble of optimism that has been following the Seahawks pop?
As can be expected after a loss, the Seahawks were moved down by four of the five national media sites polled (NFL.com, Pro Football Talk, Bleacher Report, ESPN, and CBS Sports). Despite this, Seattle is still within the top seven of the league amongst all five national media sites.
Let’s start with...

While there may be no solace taken from the Seattle Seahawks’ Week 11 loss to the Los Angeles Rams, there has to be some praise in order for the defense.
The Rams may have scored 21 points, but 14 came off of Sam Darnold’s interceptions, which resulted in 3- and 25-yard scoring drives. For one of the top offenses in the NFL, it was a struggle to sustain drives after a strong opening quarter, and the Seattle defense’s heroic performance did not go unnoticed.
The Seahawks held the Rams to their season low in first downs (12, heh heh), their...

This game sure looks out of place in prime time, doesn’t it? The Dallas Cowboys are 3-5-1, the Las Vegas Raiders are 2-7, and yet this is taking up national television time? Unfortunately, this couldn’t get flexed out since it’s not within the Monday Night Football flex window, but maybe it’ll be entertaining because the Cowboys and Raiders don’t exactly have great defenses.
We’ve been watching the Raiders fairly closely given Pete Carroll and Geno Smith are the head coach/quarterback combo in Vegas, and so far it’s been an abject failure with a sprinkling of disaster. That duo went 9-8...

Sunday the Seattle Seahawks slipped out of their perch atop the NFC West, losing 21-19 to the Los Angeles Rams as the offense turned the ball over repeatedly and failed to capitalize on opportunities to seize control of the division.
In addition, late in the game the Seahawks watched as 2025 first round pick Grey Zabel, who has started every game at left guard so far this season, went down in pain on the last play of the next to last possession of the game. Zabel was then helped into the medical tent, with limited ability to put weight on...

Last year, Michael Penix Jr made his NFL debut in garbage time against the Seattle Seahawks. This year, the former University of Washington star quarterback won’t be facing Seattle as a starter.
Following Sunday’s loss to the Carolina Panthers, it was revealed that Penix suffered a knee injury that will most likely end his season. He’d already missed a game due to a bone bruise in his left knee, and not only has he re-aggravated that injury, he’s also damaged his ACL and faces full reconstructive surgery.
Local Atlanta media is reporting a partial ACL tear for Penix, which would...

The Seattle Seahawks not only lost another game to the Los Angeles Rams and therefore the NFC West lead, they also lost their promising rookie left guard in the process.
First-round pick Grey Zabel left Seattle’s 21-19 loss in the fourth quarter after Charles Cross fell backward onto his leg during Kenneth Walker’s touchdown run. Zabel limped off the field with assistance from trainers and did not return. He was replaced by Christian Haynes, who was making his season debut after spending the season on injured reserve.
A long-term injury to Zabel would be a potentially huge blow to the...

There’s not much time to lament the loss against the Los Angeles Rams. Next week the Seattle Seahawks face the Tennessee Titans, and a win is important to recover/maintain morale. According to FanDuel Sportsbook, Seattle is favored by a whopping 12.5 points. This is the Seahawks’ biggest favorite tag this season and it’s the second most lopsided point spread across NFL Week 12 (behind the Baltimore Ravens against the New York Jets).
The 1-9 Titans have already fired their head coach and are already thinking about 2026. Despite expectations of a free sale before the trade deadline, the team has...

Rookie offensive lineman and first-round pick Grey Zabel has been playing like one of the best guards in the entire NFL. After getting his leg rolled up on late in the game against the Los Angeles Rams, it’s possible that we won’t see him for the rest of the season. Mike Macdonald didn’t have an update other than to say it was his knee and they were getting imaging done.
Recently activated Christian Haynes replaced Zabel and within a few plays was knocked back at least five yards into the backfield. Not ideal. Without Zabel, there will be a massive...

In Today’s Links: several recaps and dissertations on what was a rough and often ugly match-up between our Seattle Seahawks and their Los Angeles Rams. Yesterday’s tilt featured ups and downs, some good moments, others moments outright horrendous. The version of Sam Darnold that appeared and played for the ‘Hawks yesterday was one that most of us haven’t entirely hoped for, yet debated its precedence. Choose your own adventure, certainly. But otherwise, are we cooked? The most important game of the season for the ‘Hawks and in many ways, we came up short. Or wide. How y’all feeling today? Let...

Seattle Seahawks quarterback Sam Darnold had another nightmare performance against the Los Angeles Rams, tying his career high with four interceptions in a 21-19 loss. Given his struggles with the Minnesota Vikings in the playoffs against the Rams just 10 months ago, it’s about as bad a follow-up outing as he could’ve possibly had.
Darnold has had an otherwise very impressive first season with the Seahawks, but the turnovers have piled up in recent weeks to the tune of 10 over the last four games. While many of those turnovers were with comfortable leads and not even necessarily his fault,...
