QUINTON DUNBAR

Cleared of injury tag Dunbar (knee) does not carry an injury designation for Sunday's divisional matchup against the Cardinals, Gregg Bell of The Tacoma News Tribune reports.
Impact Dunbar missed practice and then was limited to begin the week, but it doesn't appear as though he was ever in serious danger of missing Sunday's contest. The 28-year-old will handle his usual starting role at cornerback versus Arizona during Sunday Night Football.

Logs limited session Thursday Dunbar (knee) was limited during Thursday's practice after sitting out Wednesday, John Boyle of the Seahawks' official site reports.
Impact The 28-year-old cornerback was able to suit up Week 5 after sitting out Seattle's Week 3 and 4 matchups, plus he was afforded extra time to recover with the Seahawks having just enjoyed their bye. Dunbar is granted slightly more time even because of Seattle's 4:05 p.m. ET kickoff against Arizona getting pushed to Sunday Night Football. He has a strong chance to play Week 7, but if he can't go, it would be Tre Flowers who would see a usage uptick in the Seahawks' defensive backfield.

Watches practice from sidelines Dunbar (knee) didn't participate in Wednesday's practice, John Boyle of the Seahawks' official site reports.
Impact Dunbar suited up in the Seahawks' final game before the bye and logged his typical workload, and the team relayed on its injury report that Dunbar sat out practice partially for rest purposes. This knee injury could linger this season, but it appears he should be able to play through it this Sunday against the Cardinals. Tre Flowers is expected to start at cornerback if Dunbar's health backslides.

Returning to action Week 5 Dunbar (knee) is listed as active Sunday against the Vikings.
Impact Dunbar missed the last two games due to a knee injury, but after following a DNP/LP/LP practice regimen this week he's been given the all-clear to return to action. While he has 10 tackles and one interception through two appearances this season, he may not have many chances to produce against one of the most run-heavy offenses in the NFL.

Questionable Week 5 Dunbar (knee) is questionable for Sunday's game against Minnesota, John Boyle of the Seahawks' official site reports.
Impact The 28-year-old was unable to practice Wednesday, but he showed enough over the past two days to earn the questionable tag. Dunbar has been sidelined since suffering the injury Week 2 but has a chance to retake the field Sunday.

Upgraded Thursday Dunbar (knee) was listed as a limited participant during Thursday's practice, John Boyle of the Seahawks' official site reports.
Impact Dunbar missed practice completely with the knee injury Wednesday, so the fact that he was upgraded is a positive sign. Dunbar has missed the past two games, and could be in jeopardy of missing more action if his practice availability doesn't continue to improve. If Dunbar is to miss Week 5, Tre Flowers would be in line for a start opposite Shaquill Griffin.

Listed as DNP on Wednesday Dunbar (knee) didn't participate in Wednesday's practice, Michael-Shawn Dugar of The Athletic reports.
Impact Dunbar has been doing some running this week, but it's not enough to be listed as more than DNP on the practice report. He's in danger of missing a third straight game, in which case Tre Flowers would start at cornerback opposite Shaquill Griffin again. The Seahawks could err on the side of caution with a Week 6 bye approaching, but Dunbar's return to the lineup would be a major boost with Adam Thielen and Justin Jefferson coming to town Sunday.

Able to run Monday Coach Pete Carroll said Dunbar (knee) was able to do some running Monday, Bob Condotta of The Seattle Times reports.
Impact Dunbar has missed the last two games, so it's encouraging that he's making progress in his recovery. Through two games with the Seahawks, Dunbar has been impressive, allowing a 75.9 passer rating and intercepting Cam Newton in Week 2. There's a steep dropoff between him and backup Tre Flowers, so Dunbar will aim to recover quickly with Adam Thielen and the Vikings coming to town in Week 5.

Set to miss second straight game Dunbar (knee) has been ruled out of Sunday's game versus the Dolphins, John Boyle of the Seahawks' official site reports.
Impact Dunbar will sit out for a second straight week, and according to Gregg Bell of The Tacoma News Tribune, coach Pete Carroll hinted that Dunbar may also be held out of Week 5's clash against the Vikings -- the final game before Seattle's bye week. With Dunbar on the sideline, Tre Flowers will again start at cornerback opposite Shaquill Griffin (shoulder).

Surprise scratch Sunday Dunbar (knee) won't suit up in Sunday's game against the Cowboys.

Looking OK for Sunday Coach Pete Carroll said Dunbar (knee) appears to be "ready to play" Sunday against the Cowboys, Curtis Crabtree of Sports Radio 950 KJR Seattle reports.
Impact Dunbar opened the week with limited practices both Wednesday and Thursday, but he was listed as a non-participant Friday and handed a questionable designation for Sunday's game. Carroll also noted Dunbar didn't do much this week, so a decision on the cornerback's availability may not be known until 90 minutes before Sunday's 4:25 p.m. ET kickoff.

Deemed questionable for Sunday Dunbar (knee) is questionable for Sunday's game versus the Cowboys.
Impact Dunbar was limited Wednesday and Thursday and likely didn't elevate to full speed Friday, so his status is uncertain for Sunday's matchup. If he's able to shake off the injury and play, expect Dunbar to start at cornerback and be tasked with shutting down Amari Cooper and Michael Gallup on the outside.

Dealing with knee injury Dunbar (knee) was a limited participant in Wednesday's practice, Michael-Shawn Dugar of The Athletic reports.
Impact Perhaps this injury popped up during Week 2's win over the Patriots, as Dunbar logged only 75 percent of the team's defensive snaps. It's a positive sign that he's still practicing in some capacity, but if he's forced to miss this Sunday's matchup versus the Cowboys, Tre Flowers would step in as the starter opposite Shaquill Griffin.
