Seattle Seahawks DST

Player Outlook
If you're looking for an early-season DST to stream, consider the Seahawks. Their first game of the year is home against the Broncos and rookie QB Bo Nix. Then their second game is against the Patriots, an offense that shouldn't scare too many people. That should set up nicely for the defense to have a feisty start. After that they take on the Dolphins and Lions, two offenses that can put up points, so you might be done with the Seahawks by then. But it's worth noting that this unit made two key additions: rookie defensive tackle Byron Murphy and head coach/defensive guru Mike Macdonald. The latter could have a sizable impact on how the Seahawks operate since he comes from the Harbaugh coaching tree and may run more man coverage than the Hawks have had in the past.

    Rotowire

  • Seahawks' Easton Gibbs: Comes off NFI list

    Rotowire
    The Seahawks removed Gibbs (undisclosed) from the active/non-football injury list Thursday, John Boyle of the team's official site reports. Gibbs, who was placed on the active/non-football injury list one week ago, passed his physical Thursday and is eligible to return to the field. The undrafted rookie linebacker out of Wyoming likely has an outside chance of making Seattle's 53-man roster, but he'll be competing for a depth role as the offseason progresses.

  • Andrew Whitaker: Let go by Seattle

    Rotowire
    The Seahawks waived Whitaker (knee) on Thursday, John Boyle of the team's official site reports. Whitaker has yet to appear in an NFL game after spending last season on the Seahawks' injured reserve list, and Seattle has now decided to part ways with the 25-year-old. It seems that Whitaker is past his hamstring issue, and he's free to sign elsewhere after being dropped.

  • Seahawks' Lance Boykin: Activated off PUP list

    Rotowire
    Boykin (undisclosed) was activated off the active/PUP list Wednesday after passing his physical, Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston reports. Boykin opened camp on the PUP list with an unspecified injury, but he appears to be healthy enough to return to practice. Boykin joined the Seahawks as an undrafted free agent in 2023, and in his lone regular-season game in Week 4 against the Giants, he played two snaps on defense and eight on special teams without recording a tackle. Boykin is fighting for a roster spot at Seahawks training camp.

  • Seahawks' Julian Love: Inks three-year extension

    Rotowire
    The Seahawks signed Love to a three-year, $36 million contract extension Wednesday, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports. After spending the first four years of his career with the Giants, Love signed a two-year deal with the Seahawks in March of 2023. The 2019 fourth-round pick out of Notre Dame responded by recording a career-high 85 solo tackles (123 total), along with 10 total passes defended, four interceptions, two forced fumbles and one fumble recovery across 17 regular-season games. With Jamal Adams (knee) signing with Tennessee on July 11, Love will enter 2024 as the starting strong safety for Seattle alongside free safety Rayshawn Jenkins.

  • Seahawks' Tyrel Dodson: Passes physical, off PUP list

    Rotowire
    Dodson (undisclosed) was activated off the active/PUP list Wednesday after passing his physical, Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston reports. Dodson landed on the active/PUP list Thursday with an undisclosed injury, but he appears to be over the issue and will begin practicing at Seattle's training camp. After spending the first four years of his career with the Bills, Dodson signed a one-year deal with the Seahawks, where he will compete for a starting role in the linebackers corps following the departure of Bobby Wagner and Jordyn Brooks. Dodson saw extended playing time last season after Matt Milano fractured his leg in Week 5 of 2023, with the former finishing the year with a career-high 74 tackles (57 solo), including 2.5 sacks, two passes defended, one forced fumble and one fumble recovery across 17 regular-season games.

  • Seahawks' Jerome Baker: Off PUP list

    Rotowire
    Baker (wrist) passed his physical and was activated off the active/PUP list Wednesday, Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston reports. Baker missed all of OTAs and minicamp after undergoing surgery for a right wrist injury he sustained in Week 18 of last season. The 27-year-old linebacker appears to have recovered from the procedure and is ready to participate in training camp, where he will compete for an every-down role at linebacker. The 2018 third-round pick out of Ohio State signed a one-year deal with the Seahawks in March after spending the first six years of his career with the Dolphins. He finished 2023 with 78 tackles (51 solo), including 1.5 sacks, three passes defended, two interceptions and one touchdown across 13 regular-season games.

  • Seahawks' D.J. James: Comes off NFI list

    Rotowire
    James (undisclosed) was activated off Seattle's active/non-football injury list Wednesday, John Boyle of the team's official website reports. James had been dealing with an undisclosed injury, but he's eligible to return to the field now that he's passed his physical. Since the 2024 sixth-round pick is fully healthy once again, he's expected to compete with Chris Steele and Nehemiah Pritchett for a depth role in the Seahawks' secondary as the offseason progresses.

The rookie cornerback out of Auburn was dealing with some form of injury, but he's now passed his physical and is eligible to take part in training camp.

  • Seahawks' Easton Gibbs: Lands on NFI list

    Rotowire
    The Seahawks placed Gibbs (undisclosed) on the active/non-football injury list Thursday, John Boyle of the team's official site reports. Undrafted out of Wyoming earlier this year, Gibbs signed with the Seahawks as a free agent. He'll need to get on the field sooner than later if he wants a real shot at making the team.

  • Seahawks' Cameron Young: Starts camp on PUP list

    Rotowire
    The Seahawks placed Young (undisclosed) on the active/PUP list Thursday, John Boyle of the team's official website reports.

Across 205 defensive snaps and another 86 on special teams, Young recorded 18 tackles (10 solo) and one tackle for loss. The nature of his injury is unclear at this time, but Young is eligible to be activated at any time this summer.

  • Seahawks' Jerrick Reed: Placed on PUP list Thursday

    Rotowire

  • Seahawks' Nehemiah Pritchett: Moves to active/NFI list

    Rotowire
    Pritchett (undisclosed) was put on the active/non-football injury list by the Seahawks on Thursday, John Boyle of the team's official site reports.

  • Seahawks' D.J. James: Placed on active/NFI list

    Rotowire
    James (undisclosed) was placed on the active/non-football injury list by the Seahawks on Thursday, John Boyle of the team's official site reports. James went on the list before training camp, so he can return at any time during camp, per Boyle. Seattle drafted James in the sixth round back in April, and once the Auburn product is back on the field, he'll compete for depth slotting in the team's cornerback corps.

  • Seahawks' Tyrel Dodson: Heads to PUP list

    Rotowire
    The Seahawks placed Dodson (undisclosed) on the active/PUP list Thursday, John Boyle of the team's official site reports. Dodson is dealing with an undisclosed injury, but it looks like he may not be ready for the start of training camp next week. The 26-year-old posted a career-best 74 tackles (57 solo) and 2.5 sacks across 17 regular-season appearances with the Bills last season, and once healthy he figures to compete for a significant role in Seattle's linebacker corps, which no longer features Bobby Wagner and Jordyn Brooks at the top of the depth chart.

  • Seahawks' Jerome Baker: Heads to PUP list

    Rotowire
    The Seahawks placed Baker (wrist) on the active/PUP list Thursday, John Boyle of the team's official site reports. Baker still appears to be recovering from a right wrist injury he suffered Week 18 of last season, and which required surgery. He can come off the PUP list and practice at any point during training camp, once healthy. The 27-year-old linebacker could earn a near every-down role in Seattle's defensive scheme, if he can recover without having to miss too much of camp.

  • Titans' Jamal Adams: Lands in Tennessee

    Rotowire
    Adams (knee) agreed to terms Thursday on a one-year contract with the Titans, Turron Davenport of ESPN.com reports. Adams, now presumably healthy after dealing with late-season knee injuries down the stretch in 2023, links up with Tennessee shortly ahead of the start of training camp. He tallied 48 tackles (34 solo) and two pass breakups across nine appearances with Seattle last season, and across four years with the team he suited up for just 34 contests. Injury woes could follow Adams to his new team, but when healthy his proclivity for high tackle numbers should make him a relevant fantasy asset in IDP formats, even if he's not the same player he was when he earned All-Pro honors in the third year of his career.

  • Ro Torrence: Time up in Seattle

    Rotowire
    The Seahawks waived Torrence on Monday, John Boyle of the team's official site reports. Torrence signed with the Seahawks shortly after going unselected in the 2024 NFL Draft, but he'll now need to search for an opportunity elsewhere in the league. The 6-foot-3 corner spent OTAs and mandatory minicamp in Seattle.
