Hall (back) does not have an injury designation for Sunday's game against the Raiders, John Boyle of the Seahawks' official site reports.
Hall was limited in each of the first two practices of Week 10 prep before sitting out of Friday's session. However, his reduced practice reps appear to have been planned by the Seahawks to manage his back injury, and the fourth-year pro has been given the green light to play in Sunday's contest. Hall has 24 tackles (14 solo), including 3.0 sacks, one forced fumble and one fumble recovery through nine regular-season games.

Seahawks' Derick Hall: Nursing back issue
Rotowire
Hall (back) did not participate at practice Wednesday, John Boyle of the Seahawks' official site reports.
Hall only played 29 of the Seahawks' 53 defensive snaps in Week 9 versus the Cardinals, and that he's dealing with a back injury might be part of the reason why. He'll probably have to upgrade to full participation at practice Thursday or Friday to avoid carrying an injury designation into the weekend.
Seattle signed Hall to a three-year, $42 million contract extension Tuesday, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.
Hall only came away with 2.0 sacks in the third season of his rookie contract as he rotated in on the edge behind veteran DeMarcus Lawrence, Uchenna Nwosu and Boye Mafe. However, following a 2.0-sack performance in Super Bowl 60, Hall is now getting a second contract with the Seahawks. With Lawrence having just turned 34 and Mafe now playing with Cincinnati, Hall more easily projects for a starter-type role in 2026.
Seahawks' Derick Hall: Fantastic showing in Super Bowl
Rotowire
Hall recorded 2.0 sacks and a forced fumble in Sunday's 29-13 win over the Patriots in the Super Bowl.
The Seahawks' plethora of pass rushers was a difference maker in this game, and Hall was legitimately in the MVP conversation with his performance. Hall recorded just 2.0 sacks through 14 regular-season games, but he matched that total on the biggest stage. The 2023 second-round pick dropped Patriots QB Drake Maye for a 10-yard loss on the first drive of the game. He added a strip-sack in the waning seconds of the third quarter with the ball being recovered by second-year DT Byron Murphy. Hall will be in the final year of his rookie contract in 2026, making him an extension candidate this offseason.
Hall recorded 1.0 sacks on his only tackle in Saturday's 13-3 win over the 49ers.
Hall returned from his suspension to play 50 percent of the defensive snaps in the crucial divisional game. The 2023 second-round pick piled up 8.0 sacks in 2024, but he posted just 2.0 sacks this season due to the stellar play of DE Leonard Williams and LB Uchenna Nwosu, who both stacked up 7.0 sacks. Hall should continue to handle a middling role during the postseason.
