Seahawks' Bobby Wagner: Calling plays in 2023
Rotowire
Wagner will call defensive plays for the Seahawks in 2023, Michael-Shawn Dugar of The Athletic reports.
Per Dugar, Wagner is expected to be an every-down player while Jordyn Brooks, who is coming off a torn ACL, may come off the field in clear passing situations to make room for a sixth defensive back. Wagner is 33 years old but has missed just one game since the 2018 season and played nearly every snap in that stretch.

Seahawks' Bobby Wagner: Still not practicing
Rotowire
Wagner (knee) didn't practice Thursday, John Boyle of the Seahawks' official site reports.
Wagner hurt his knee on the first defensive play of this past Sunday's game against the Lions and didn't return. Eventually, he was diagnosed with MCL and PCL sprains after an MRI, threatening his availability for a Week 18 visit to Arizona. According to Boyle, Wagner said Wednesday that his knee is receiving treatment and he'll play the waiting game to see if he'll be able to suit up Sunday. With no on-field work to speak of yet, Wagner may be trending in the wrong direction, but he at least has one more practice to prove to the Seahawks training staff that he can play through the injuries.

Seahawks' Bobby Wagner: Set to miss Week 18
Rotowire
Wagner was diagnosed with sprains to the MCL and PCL in his knee Monday and shouldn't require surgery, but he's expected to be sidelined for Sunday's game at Arizona, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.
Wagner suffered the injury during Sunday's win over the Lions, though it was initially described as a sprained kneecap. Regardless, the 31-year-old is likely to be sidelined for the final game of the season, which would be his first absence since 2018 and only his second game missed since 2015. The Seahawks have already been eliminated from playoff contention, so he's likely seen the field for the final time this season. Assuming he's out Week 18, Wagner would finish the campaign with a career-high 170 tackles (93 solo) to go along with one sack, one interception and one forced fumble in 16 contests.

Carroll responded, "I don't know," when asked about Wagner's availability for next week's season finale against the Cardinals, but the results of the MRI should paint a clearer picture regarding the linebacker's chances of suiting up.
