The wait continues for Seattle Seahawks safety Julian Love.

Seahawks head coach Mike Macdonald told reporters prior to Wednesday’s Week 13 practice for the Minnesota Vikings game that Love will not be designated for return to practice, thereby ruling him out for this Sunday. It’ll be Love’s ninth missed game of the year, having only missed two games total in his first six seasons in the NFL.

Love was eligible to come off of injured reserve this week, having missed the minimum four games dating back to the win over the Washington Commanders. In his absence, Ty Okada has played...

Any thought of former Seattle Seahawks cornerback Derion Kendrick returning to the team as a member of the practice squad was put to rest on Wednesday.

Kendrick was claimed off waivers by none other than the Los Angeles Rams, his original team. As it’s a waiver claim, Kendrick goes straight to the active roster. It seems as if he’s a direct replacement for Roger McCreary, whom the Rams acquired via trade from the Tennessee Titans only to place him on injured reserve after a single defensive snap.

The Seahawks let Kendrick go on Tuesday after several weeks seeing minimal playing...

Looking ahead to the Seattle Seahawks Week 13 matchup with the Minnesota Vikings, the injury report isn’t getting any shorter. In addition to the expected “Did Not Participate” from Ty Okada and George Holani, who were both injured against the Tennessee Titans, the biggest surprise may be Uchenna Nwosu also being out with an ankle injury. Nwosu has had terrible injury luck the last few seasons, and is an on-field leader as well as a productive part of the EDGE rotation. Maybe a good Thanksgiving meal tomorrow will do his body good?

The other news of note is the first...

The Seattle Seahawks announced a flurry of roster moves ahead of their Week 13 match-up against the Minnesota Vikings. Some of these moves were already known as their news broke earlier in the week (such as the waiving of cornerback Derion Kendrick, and the additions of safety Quandre Diggs to the practice squad, and running back Cam Akers to the 53-man roster.)

However, the moves that were not known include the promotions of cornerback Shaquill Griffin and linebacker Patrick O’Connell to the 53-man roster. To make room for those two (plus Akers), linebacker Chazz Surratt was placed on injured reserve....

Why is it that the Denver Broncos are so often inclined to assist the Seattle Seahawks in every which way? In the 2009 NFL Draft, Josh McDaniels, et al, were desperate to draft a cornerback by the name of Alphonso Smith.

The Broncos, in their mind, needed to move up in the second round to secure the pick before, well, someone else snatched Smith up. They called the ‘Hawks and proposed a trade, using their 2010 first round pick to seal the deal. Seattle, in turn, used that pick to add safety Earl Thomas and helped propel McDaniels to his...

The Seattle Seahawks sit in second place in the NFC West, and if the season ended today would be in line to claim a Wild Card spot in the playoffs.

However, the injury bug has hit the roster hard, with several key members of the team either on injured reserve, or playing through injury as they attempt to remain on the active roster.

One of the players whose status is in question is third string running back George Holani, who injured a hamstring against the Tennessee Titans in Week 12, an injury [that could see him land on injured reserve...

The Seattle Seahawks rookies combined for 158 snaps in Week 12 against the Tennessee Titans. Tory Horton being placed on IR certainly had a major impact on that number. It could have been even lower had Grey Zabel not managed to play through injury. It’s also worth noting that the offense had 26 fewer plays than in the previous game, which reduced the overall snap count — especially because all of our rookies, except Nick Emmanwori, play on offense.

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

Grey Zabel – Offensive Guard (48 snaps)

First, we...

[Status Report:...

The Seattle Seahawks have made a somewhat surprising move, letting go of a cornerback who made a couple of big plays early in the season.

Derion Kendrick, claimed off of waivers by the Seahawks after roster cutdown day in August, was waived on Tuesday in the team’s sole transaction. Considering no one was signed to the active roster after Tory Horton was placed on injured reserve, the Seahawks currently have two vacant spots on the 53-man roster.

Kendrick was called upon early in the season while Devon Witherspoon was out injured. He played a combined 99 snaps against the Pittsburgh...

We’ve got a light week for Seahawks Reacts. The confidence poll comes standard but we’re skipping the score prediction for the Week 13 home game against the Minnesota Vikings. Instead, we’re taking a longer term view of something potentially historic.

As noted earlier in the week, Jaxon Smith-Njigba needs 652 yards over the final six games to break Calvin Johnson’s single-season...

Last week, after the Seattle Seahawks lost to the league favorite, Los Angeles Rams, the Seahawks saw a dip in their national power rankings. Will a win over the Tennessee Titans be enough to move Seattle up, or the fact that it was only a one-possession win over the one-win Titans be enough to drop Seattle down?

Well, perhaps this author is a bit too strict on Seattle, because much to his surprise, all five national media sites polled (NFL.com, Pro Football Talk, Bleacher Report, ESPN, and CBS Sports) have moved the Seahawks up in their rankings. The surprise may...

A familiar face is back with the Seattle Seahawks.

The Seahawks are widely considered to be one of the better teams in the NFL this season, and roster depth has no doubt played a role in their ascension. Consider the fact that eight players at key positions have hit the IR in the past several weeks. Not to mention a slew of avifauna that hit that same list earlier this season. As well, several warriors from our squad are either questionable or doubtful for this Sunday’s tilt against the Minnesota Vikings back home in Seattle. Specifically, Minnesota-born safety Ty Okada,...
