KERRY HYDER JR. NEWS

Sitting out Week 15 Hyder wasn't activated from the reserve/COVID-19 list and won't be available for Tuesday's game against the Rams, John Boyle of the Seahawks' official site reports.

Impact Hyder was added to the list Sunday after testing positive for the virus, according to Brady Henderson of ESPN.com. Though he's vaccinated, Hyder is apparently still experiencing symptoms of the virus and wasn't able to clear the NFL's COVID-19 protocol ahead of Tuesday's kickoff. Hyder's absence this week should open up more snaps in the defensive-end rotation for Carlos Dunlap and L.J. Collier.

Lands on COVID-19 list Hyder was placed on the reserve COVID-19 list Sunday, according to John Boyle of the Seahawks' official site.

Impact The Seahawks placed six players on the COVID-19 list Sunday, including Hyder, and until he's cleared to play again, Robert Nkemdiche figures to see added work at right defensive end.

Will play Sunday Hyder (calf) is active for Sunday's contest against the Cardinals.

Impact As expected, Hyder is active after returning to practice in a limited capacity Friday. Last week against the Packers, Hyder played less than 20 defensive snaps for just the second time this season. It's unclear if his snaps will be limited Sunday.

Questionable, expected to play Hyder (calf) is questionable for Sunday's game against Arizona.

Impact Although Hyder carries an injury designation ahead of Sunday's matchup, he returned to practice in a limited capacity Friday. As a result, coach Pete Carroll expects the defensive end to suit up in Week 11, John Boyle of the Seahawks' official site reports.

Absent from injury report Hyder (concussion) is not listed on the Seahawks' injury report ahead of Sunday's matchup with the 49ers, John Boyle of the Seahawks' official site reports.

Impact Hyder appears to have passed the league's protocols for his concussion. Barring any setbacks, look for him to take on his usual responsibilities on the team's defensive line.

OCTOBER 2, 2021 • ROTOWIRE

Status uncertain for Week 4 Coach Pete Carroll said he's not sure if Hyder (concussion) will be available this week, Michael-Shawn Dugar of The Athletic reports.

Impact Hyder has been one of Seattle's most consistent producers through the first two weeks of the season, so it would be a huge blow to the Seahawks' defense if he is forced to miss an extended period. Robert Nkemdiche saw increased snaps after Hyder left the contest and will likely draw the start in Week 4 if the Texas Tech product is unable to suit up.

Not returning Sunday Hyder (concussion) won't return Sunday against the Vikings, Bob Condotta of The Seattle Times reports.

Impact Hyder recorded one tackle before departing the contest earlier today and his absence is a huge blow for Seattle, as they're already depleted defensively and Hyder had been one of the team's most consistent performers thus far. As a result, Robert Nkemdiche could see the field more often during the rest of the game.

Suffers possible concussion Sunday Hyder (head) is being evaluated for a concussion and is questionable to return to Sunday's contest against the Seahawks.

Impact Hyder recorded one tackle before suffering the injury. The 30-year-old played 90 defensive snaps and recorded seven tackles through the first two weeks of the season, so his absence will be a big loss to Seattle's depleted defensive front. If he is unable to return, Robert Nkemdiche will likely see increased reps behind Rasheem Green and Carlos Dunlap.

Staying in NFC West Hyder signed a three-year, $16.5 million contract with the Seahawks on Tuesday, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.

Impact When the 49ers' defensive line endured serious injury woes in 2020, Hyder took advantage, producing career highs in both tackles (49) and sacks (8.5). The Seahawks desperately need a pass-rushing upgrade on their defensive front, so Hyder should slot into a starting defensive end role for the team in 2021.

Resurgence in SF Hyder finished the 2020 campaign with 49 tackles (30 solo) and 8.5 sacks in 16 games.

Impact Hyder joined the 49ers as a depth option at what was a loaded defensive end position to begin the year. Injuries decimated San Francisco's defensive front, opening the door for the 29-year-old to take over as a starter and post a new career high in sacks. Hyder will be an unrestricted free agent this upcoming offseason, and his performance in 2020 should result in another career best in terms of salary as an edge rusher.
