SEATTLE SEAHAWKS NEWS

Tyrel Dodson - Limited participant Thursday Dodson (shoulder) was a limited participant in Thursday's practice, John Boyle of the Seahawks' official site reports.

Impact Dodson opened the week as a DNP in Wednesday's practice, but he was able to return to the field in a restricted capacity Thursday. If he's able to log another practice Friday, that should bode well for his chances of playing against the Patriots on Sunday.

Noah Fant - Logs full practice Thursday Fant (toe) practiced fully Thursday, John Boyle of the Seahawks' official site reports.

Impact After opening Week 1 prep with a pair of limited practices, Fant avoided a designation entirely for this past Sunday's game versus the Broncos, turning a 75 percent snap share into two catches (on four targets) for 11 yards. He should retain a similar workload this Sunday in New England, but production may be difficult to come by in an receiving corps led by WRs DK Metcalf and Tyler Lockett.

Tyler Lockett - Remains limited at practice Lockett (thigh) was a limited practice participant Thursday, John Boyle of the Seahawks' official site reports.

Impact Lockett is following the same routine this week as he did during Week 1 prep, meaning he likely will follow back-to-back capped sessions with a full practice Friday. Whether or not he enters the weekend with a designation for Sunday's game at New England remains to be seen. but there doesn't seem to be much, if any, worry about him being available. Lockett paced teh Seahawks with six catches (on seven targets) for 77 yards during this past Sunday's win against the Broncos.

Kenneth Walker III - Sits out again Thursday Walker (oblique) missed Thursday's practice, John Boyle of the Seahawks' official site reports.

Impact Walker's continued lack of activity this week since injuring his oblique this past Sunday against the Broncos is concerning, to say the least. On the one hand, coach Mike Macdonald told Brady Henderson of ESPN.com on Wednesday that he wants to take Walker's situation day by day, so having the running back focus on rehab versus on-field work makes sense. On the other, Walker now has just one session (Friday) to make his presence felt before Seattle potentially makes a ruling on his availability for Sunday's contest in New England. If Walker is inhibited or out Week 2, Zach Charbonnet would be the Seahawks' primary runner, with Kenny McIntosh and practice-squad member George Holani candidates to get work behind him.

Patriots vs. Seahawks Injury Report – Week 2, 2024

See who's in and who's out for the Week 2 matchup between the Seattle Seahawks and New England Patriots on September 15, 2024.

SEPTEMBER 12 • DATA SKRIVE

Riq Woolen - Limited to open week Woolen (hamstring) was a limited participant at Seattle's practice Wednesday, John Boyle of the Seahawks' official site reports.

Impact Woolen was very active in the team's Week 1 win over the Broncos, securing an interception while also recording three total tackles (one solo). The cornerback appears to have left the contest a little worse for wear, picking up a hamstring injury in the process. Woolen will have two more practices to increase his workload before Sunday's game against the Patriots.

SEPTEMBER 11 • ROTOWIRE

Jerome Baker - Limited at practice Baker (hamstring) was a limited participant at Seattle's practice Wednesday, John Boyle of the Seahawks' official site reports.

Impact Baker dealt with a hamstring injury throughout August, but he was able to play in the team's Week 1 win over the Broncos, recording five tackles. The linebacker will have two more chances to increase his workload at practice before Sunday's game against the Patriots.

SEPTEMBER 11 • ROTOWIRE

Tyrel Dodson - Misses practice Dodson (shoulder) did not participate at the Seahawks' practice Wednesday, John Boyle of the Seahawks' official site reports.

Impact Dodson recorded 10 total tackles (nine solo) and a pass deflection in the team's 26-20 win over the Broncos in Week 1, but he appears to have picked up a shoulder injury in the process. The linebacker will have two more chances to return to practice this week prior to Sunday's matchup with the Patriots.

SEPTEMBER 11 • ROTOWIRE

Pharaoh Brown - Returns to practice Brown (foot) was a limited participant at the Seahawks' practice Wednesday, John Boyle of the Seahawks' official site reports.

Impact Brown was forced to miss the team's Week 1 win over the Broncos as a result of the foot injury he suffered in mid-August. The tight end's return to practice Wednesday is a step in the right direction and he'll look to log a full practice at one of Seattle's final two sessions of the week before Sunday's matchup with the Patriots.

SEPTEMBER 11 • ROTOWIRE

Noah Fant - Stays limited to start week Fant (toe) was a limited practice participant Wednesday, John Boyle of the Seahawks' official site reports.

Impact Fant is beginning this week as he did preparations for Week 1 with a capped session. If he follows a similar path this time around, he'll be limited Thursday and full Friday before going into the weekend without a designation. Fant handled a 75 percent share of the offensive snaps this past Sunday against the Broncos on his way to two catches (on four targets) for 11 yards.

SEPTEMBER 11 • ROTOWIRE

Tyler Lockett - Remains limited this week Lockett (thigh) practiced on a limited basis Wednesday, John Boyle of the Seahawks' official site reports.

Impact As he was last week to begin preparations for the Seahawks' season opener, Lockett is kicking off this week with a cap on his reps due to the thigh issue that has lingered since mid-August. While his snap share (54 percent) during this past Sunday's win against the Broncos fell below his standard from past seasons, he paced the team with six catches (on seven targets) for 77 yards. It remains to be seen if he'll receive a designation for Sunday's visit to the Patriots, which will be confirmed, one way or another, on Friday's practice report.

SEPTEMBER 11 • ROTOWIRE

Kenneth Walker III - Officially DNP on Wednesday Walker (oblique) was a non-participant at Wednesday's practice, John Boyle of the Seahawks' official site reports.

Impact The Seahawks cited an abdominal injury as the reason Walker was deemed questionable to return during the fourth quarter of this past Sunday's win against the Broncos. Prior to Wednesday's session, coach Mike Macdonald told Brady Henderson of ESPN.com that he wasn't sure if Walker would take part, and the team wants to take the running back's situation day by day. In the end, an oblique issue is the cause of Walker's absence to begin Week 2 prep, and if he ends up limited or sidelined Sunday at New England, Zach Charbonnet would be the primary beneficiary out of Seattle's backfield.

SEPTEMBER 11 • ROTOWIRE

Uchenna Nwosu - Not expected to play Sunday Nwosu (knee) won't play Week 2 against the Patriots, Corbin K. Smith reports.

Impact Nwosu is still recovering from a sprained MCL suffered in the Seahawks' final preseason game against the Browns. He was originally given a 2-to-6-week recovery timeline, which is just over two weeks old. Assuming he doesn't play Sunday, the USC product's next opportunity will be Week 3 against the Dolphins.

SEPTEMBER 11 • ROTOWIRE

Kenneth Walker III - Uncertain to practice Wednesday Coach Mike Macdonald said he isn't sure if Walker (abdomen) will practice Wednesday and wants to take things day by day, Brady Henderson of ESPN.com reports.

Impact Walker suffered an abdominal injury during the fourth quarter of a 26-20 win over Denver on Sunday, leaving the Seattle backfield in Zach Charbonnet's hands down the stretch. Prior to the final 10 minutes, Walker played 80 percent of snaps and took 20 of the 24 RB carries, handling a much larger role than what he had for most of last season. It appears the new coaching staff in Seattle could do wonders for Walker's fantasy value, but first he'll need to prove he's healthy before a game at New England this Sunday. It sounds like the Seahawks view him as day-to-day and aren't in any rush to provide serious hints about his Week 2 availability.

SEPTEMBER 11 • ROTOWIRE

Derick Hall - First career sack Hall recorded two tackles and a sack in Sunday's 26-20 win over the Broncos.

Impact Hall played a career-high 45 percent of the defensive snaps, and the second-year pro recorded his first career sack, coming against former Auburn teammate Bo Nix. The 2023 second-round pick could see a drop in playing time once Uchenna Nwosu (knee) returns to the lineup, but it's encouraging that Hall's developing as planned.

SEPTEMBER 11 • ROTOWIRE

Boye Mafe - Starts season with sack Mafe posted four tackles (three solo) and a sack in Sunday's 26-20 win over the Broncos.

Impact Mafe picked up where he left off last season when he posted 9.0 sacks. The third-year linebacker played a whopping 87 percent of the defensive snaps with Uchenna Nwosu (knee) inactive. Mafe clearly showed he could handle that workload, but we could see it scaled back slightly once Nwosu is healthy.

Tyrel Dodson - Records 10 tackles in Week 1 Dodson registered 10 tackles (nine solo) and one pass defended in Sunday's 26-20 win over the Broncos.

Impact Dodson was the Seahawks' second-leading tackler Sunday behind free safety Julian Love. Dodson and Love were two of five Seattle defenders who played all 69 defensive snaps, and the duo played a big role in limiting Denver to just 231 total yards. Dodson accrued 10-plus tackles just once in 2023, and the fifth-year linebacker out of Texas A&M is on track to register his first 100-plus tackling season of his career.

SEPTEMBER 10 • ROTOWIRE

Julian Love - Leads Seahawks with 12 tackles Love finished Sunday's 26-20 win over the Broncos with 12 tackles (10 solo), one interception and one forced fumble.

Impact Love led the Seahawks in solo and total tackles Sunday. He ended the Broncos' red zone drive early in the second quarter, when he picked off Bo Nix on a pass intended for Courtland Sutton. Love played all 69 of Seattle's defensive snaps, and the 2019 fourth-round pick is well on his way to registering 100-plus tackles for the third straight season.

SEPTEMBER 10 • ROTOWIRE

Riq Woolen - Picks off Nix in fourth quarter Woolen registered three tackles (one solo), two passes defended and one interception in Sunday's 26-20 win over the Broncos.

Impact Woolen picked off Bo Nix in the fourth quarter of Sunday's game on a pass intended for Courtland Sutton. Woolen was one of five Seattle defenders who played all 69 defensive snaps, and the 2022 fifth-round pick played a big role in limiting Nix to just 138 passing yards. Woolen and the Seahawks secondary will face Jacoby Brissett and the Patriots in Week 2.
