Raul Ruidiaz - Questionable once more Ruidiaz (knee) is questionable for Saturday's clash with Houston.

Impact Ruidiaz has gone unused in each of the last three matches, and this knee injury may be a large portion of why. The forward is also simply not the player he once was, making this sort of injury much more manageable for the club. Jordan Morris should continue to lead the line.

Joao Paulo - Spotted in training Thursday Joao Paulo (calf) was spotted in training Thursday and could be an option to face the Dynamo on Saturday, Jeremiah Oshan of Sounders at Heart reports.

Impact The Brazilian midfielder has missed the Sounders' last three games, and while his availability for Saturday remains uncertain, his return to training is certainly an encouraging sign. Joao Paulo has started in all but four of his appearances this season, but he might be available off the bench Saturday as long as he's deemed fit by the Sounders' staff.

Albert Rusnak - Eight crosses in draw Rusnak had one shot (zero on goal), eight crosses (four accurate) and five corners in Wednesday's 2-2 draw against San Jose Earthquakes.

Impact Rusnak once again was pulling the strings in the Seattle midfield Wednesday, leading the team with eight crosses (four accurate) as they drew 2 - 2 with San Jose. Rusnak has made it a point to provide service of late. Over his last five matches, he has attempted 36 crosses (19 accurate) and taken 33 corners. His 48 accurate crosses in 2024 rank in the top 10 of MLS. The veteran midfielder has scored eight goals and supplied 10 assists over 28 appearances (24 starts).

Pedro De la Vega - First MLS assist de la Vega assisted once to go with two shots (zero on goal), one cross (zero accurate) and two chances created in Wednesday's 2-2 draw versus San Jose Earthquakes.

Impact De la Vega was credited with his first MLS assist Wednesday as Seattle drew 2 - 2 with San Jose. The attacker fortunately deflected an attempted San Jose clearance directly into the path of Jordan Morris to score Seattle's first goal of the match. De la Vega has struggled with his fitness since arriving ahead of the campaign as Seattle's high-profile designated player signing. He has made just 12 appearances (six starts), scored once and provided one assist.

Jordan Morris - Nets brace Morris scored two goals to go with three shots (three on goal) in Wednesday's 2-2 draw against San Jose Earthquakes.

Morris has scored 13 goals over 30 appearances (28 starts) in 2024, equaling the total he achieved in 2023 over 30 appearances (27 starts).
