Piles up 11 stops Brooks made 11 tackles (seven solo) in Sunday's 28-16 win over the Colts.

Impact With K.J. Wright out of the picture, Brooks is stepping up right out of the gate, finishing second on the team for tackles behind Bobby Wagner (13) and matching last year's season high. Brooks -- a first-round pick in 2020 -- has major upside for IDP purposes, as Wright produced 100-plus tackles in five of his last six seasons with the Seahawks when he played at least 15 games.

The Seattle Seahawks have agreed to a contract extension with general manager John Schneider that will keep him tied to the franchise through the 2027 draft

JANUARY 12, 2021 • ASSOCIATED PRESS

Modest output as rookie Brooks posted 57 tackles and two pass breakups over 14 regular-season games (six starts) during the 2020 season. He added eight tackles in the wild-card loss to the Rams.

Impact Brooks started four of the final five regular-season games, and he posted 28 stops among those starts. The rookie first-rounder didn't play more than 77 percent of the defensive snaps in any game. For a linebacker with 20 tackles for loss and three sacks during his senior season at Texas Tech, it was an underwhelming campaign for Brooks. The 22-year-old will look to improve this summer, and he could handle a larger role in 2021 if K.J. Wright, the team's starting strong-side linebacker, doesn't re-sign in Seattle.

Generates 11 stops Brooks made 11 tackles (five solo) in Sunday's 17-12 loss to the Giants.

Impact The rookie first-round pick made his third start of the season and logged a career-high 43 snaps on defense (77 percent). The Texas Tech product handled the uptick in reps admirably, tying Jamal Adams for the team lead in stops. Brooks is still adjusting to the NFL level, but Week 13 was a glimpse into the IDP value he holds when afforded the opportunity.

After Frustrating Start, Seahawks LB Jordyn Brooks Starting To Show He’s “A Really Good Ballplayer” Rookie linebacker Jordyn Brooks is starting to show the potential that made him a first-round pick in this year’s draft.

OCTOBER 29, 2020 • SEAHAWKS.COM

Rings up seven stops Brooks made seven tackles (three solo) in Sunday's 37-34 loss to the Cardinals.

Impact In his return from a two-game absence due to a knee injury, Brooks started at weak-side linebacker but was held to a pitch count, handling just 45 percent of the defensive workload. Nevertheless, he tied for third on the team in tackles and was used as a spy on Kyler Murray at times. Brooks stopped Murray for a one-yard loss at the goal line in the first half and stuffed him on third down for no gain in the fourth quarter. It speaks to Brooks' talent and athleticism that he can track and slow down Murray, and with his role expected to expand during upcoming games, it's worth keeping an eye on the rookie first-rounder in IDP formats.

Ready to face Cardinals Brooks (knee) does not have an injury designation for Sunday's divisional contest against the Cardinals, Gregg Bell of The Tacoma News Tribune reports.

Impact Brooks' sprained MCL caused him to sit out Seattle's last two games, but he'll return in time to face Arizona. The rookie first-round pick stands to handle a starting role Sunday, when he'll face the difficult task of containing Kyler Murray and the Cardinals.

Won't face Vikings Brooks (knee) is officially inactive for Sunday's game against the Vikings.

Impact Brooks will miss his second consecutive game due to a lingering ankle sprain. The Seahawks have a bye scheduled for Week 6, so the rookie first-round pick's next chance to take the field won't come until Oct. 25 in Arizona.

Chance to play Week 5 Brooks (knee) is questionable for Sunday's game against the Vikings, John Boyle of the Seahawks' official site reports.

Impact The rookie first-round pick missed last week with the sprained MCL but has a chance of retaking the field this weekend. Brooks was originally expected to miss multiple games after suffering the injury Week 3, so the Seahawks are likely to remain cautious to avoid rushing his return.

Ruled out for Week 4 Coach Pete Carroll said Friday that Brooks (knee) won't play in Miami on Sunday, Stacy Jo Rost of 710 ESPN Seattle reports.

Impact Brooks is expected to miss multiple games while rehabbing a sprained MCL, so this news comes as official confirmation of what was already expected. With Bruce Irvin already having been lost to a torn ACL, the Seahawks look set to rely on Shaquem Griffin and Cody Barton to form a starting rotation.

OCTOBER 2, 2020 • ROTOWIRE

Expected to miss games Brooks suffered an MCL sprain in Sunday's 38-31 win over the Cowboys, Tom Pelissero of NFL Network reports.

Impact The rookie first-rounder made his first NFL start since Bruce Irvin (torn ACL) went down in Week 2. Brooks only played 14 snaps before exiting the game, however, and he'll likely miss a few games due to the injury. For the time being, Shaquem Griffin and Cody Barton will likely rotate into a starting role.
