Pili (knee) is believed to have avoided a major injury in Sunday's 37-9 win over the Falcons, John Boyle of the Seahawks' official site reports.
Pili suffered a knee injury in the contest, but head coach Mike Macdonald said following the game that the defensive lineman is "OK," likely suggesting it's nothing major. The defensive lineman's status at practice next week will be worth monitoring.

Reed is set to start his first game since Week 9 against the Commanders, when he was ruled out with a wrist injury.

Seahawks' Julian Love: Activated from IR
Rotowire
The Seahawks activated Love (hamstring) from injured reserve Saturday ahead of Sunday's game against the Falcons, John Boyle of the team's official site reports.
Love has no injury designation ahead of Sunday's contest and is set to log his first start as a defensive back for the team since Week 4 on the road against the Cardinals. Love will likely retake his role as starting free safety, leaving Ty Okada to function as a third safety and primary depth piece.

Seahawks' Julian Love: Set to return from IR
Rotowire
Head Coach Mike Macdonald declared that Love (hamstring) is set to return from injured reserve for Sunday's game against the Falcons, Gregg Bell of The Tacoma News Tribune reports.
Love managed to practice in some capacity all three days this week in anticipation of Sunday's contest. The safety picked up the hamstring injury after the Seahawks' Week 2 victory over the Steelers and battled the issue for over a month before finally being assigned to injured reserve Nov. 1. It is unclear how the seventh-year veteran will be utilized in his return to the lineup. Love may reclaim his starting free safety role from Ty Okada, may just share snaps due to a snap count, or may start or share snaps at another position, such as slot cornerback.

Seahawks' Jarran Reed: In line to return from IR
Rotowire
Head Coach Mike Macdonald declared that Reed (wrist/thumb) is set to return from injured reserve for Sunday's game against the Falcons, Gregg Bell of The Tacoma News Tribune reports.
Reed was a full participant in practice all week as he works his way back from the thumb issue that sent him to injured reserve. Head Coach Mike Macdonald's proclamation means the defensive end will likely see his first snaps since he suffered the injury in the Seahawks' Week 9 win over the Commanders, assuming he's activated from IR.

Seahawks' Ty Okada: Full participant Thursday
Rotowire
Okada (oblique) was a full participant in practice Thursday after being limited Wednesday, John Boyle of the Seahawks' official site reports.
The starting free safety played through the injury in Week 13 against the Vikings and stayed on the field for 96 percent of Seattle's defensive snaps, so his limited participation Wednesday was likely precautionary. Okada looks on track to play Sunday against Atlanta. He has 49 tackles (32 solo), including 1.5 sacks, five pass breakups, including one interception, and a fumble recovery on the year.

Seahawks' Jarran Reed: Returns to practice Wednesday
Rotowire
Reed (wrist/thumb) was a full participant in Seattle's practice Wednesday, John Boyle of the team's official site reports.
Reed (thumb) returned to practice for the first time since landing on injured reserve early last month with thumb and wrist injuries. The 32-year-old was designated to return earlier in the day and could have a chance to play in Sunday's matchup versus the Falcons. Once healthy, Reed should resume his role as a rotational defensive lineman.

Seahawks' Ty Okada: Limited in practice
Rotowire
Okada (oblique) was a limited participant in Seattle's practice Wednesday, John Boyle of the team's official site reports.
Okada played through his injury during the Week 13 win over the Vikings, so his reduced workload in practice is likely precautionary. The 26-year-old should continue to serve as the team's starting free safety during Sunday's matchup versus Atlanta.

Seahawks' Julian Love: Limited in Wednesday's practice
Rotowire
Love (hamstring) was a limited participant in Seattle's practice Wednesday, John Boyle of the team's official site reports.
Love managed to practice for the first time after being designated to return from injured reserve earlier in the day. The 2019 fourth-round pick has been on injured reserve since Nov. 1 but should have a chance to play in Sunday's matchup versus the Falcons if he's activated in time.

Johnathan Hankins: Let go by Seattle
Rotowire
The Seahawks released Hankins (back) from the reserve/non-football injury list with a non-injury settlement Wednesday, Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston reports.
Hankins' tenure in Seattle has come to an end after he had been on the non-football injury list since August. The 33-year-old won't be able to return this season, but he will look to get healthy and catch on with another team in time for the start of the 2026 campaign.

Seahawks' Jarran Reed: Returning from IR
Rotowire
Reed (thumb) was designated to return from the injured reserve list Wednesday, John Boyle of the Seahawks' official site reports.
Reed appears to be nearing a return after missing the Seahawks' last four games due to a thumb injury sustained in the Week 10 win over the Cardinals. The 32-year-old tallied 17 total tackles, including 1.5 sacks, in eight appearances prior to his injury. Seattle now has 21 days to add Reed to its active roster before he reverts to IR. The veteran will likely play a rotational role on the Seahawks' defensive line once fully healthy.

Seahawks' Julian Love: Designated to return
Rotowire
Love (hamstring) was designated to return from the injured reserve list Wednesday, John Boyle of the Seahawks' official site reports.
As expected, Love's 21-day practice window opened Wednesday, and he's got a chance to return for the Week 14 matchup against the Falcons. However, the 27-year-old must still be activated to Seattle's active roster in order to play Sunday. Love was an integral part of the Seahawks' secondary in 2024 and once fully healthy, he'll add depth to a defense that's already allowed the sixth-fewest yards per game (289.4) in the NFL this season.

Seahawks' Nick Emmanwori: Records four tackles in win
Rotowire
Emmanwori recorded four tackles (three solo) and a pass defensed during Sunday's 26-0 win versus the Vikings.
Emmanwori's performance in coverage certainly contributed to Seattle pitching a shutout in Week 13, though that doesn't necessarily show in the box score. He continues to be one of the most promising defensive rookies in the league, and he'll be hoping to show more of what he can do in Week 14 at Atlanta.

Seahawks' Devon Witherspoon: Stacks up seven stops
Rotowire
Witherspoon recorded seven tackles (four solo) in Sunday's 26-0 win over the Vikings.
Witherspoon struggled with injuries to begin the season, but when healthy, he has averaged 6.0 tackles per game while adding three total pass breakups through seven outings. For real-life purposes, Witherspoon is a lockdown cornerback, but his tackle count will likely continue to be volatile.

Seahawks' Ernest Jones: First career pick-six
Rotowire
Jones recorded 12 tackles (two solo) and two interceptions, one of which he returned for a touchdown, in Sunday's 26-0 win over the Vikings.
Jones intercepted an errant pass from Vikings QB Max Brosmer and returned it 85 yards for his first career pick-six. This was a monster performance by Jones, who returned to the lineup after missing last week's game with a knee injury. The 26-year-old linebacker has been a consistent fantasy contributor this season with 8.3 tackles per game in addition to five interceptions.

Seahawks' Josh Jobe: Officially clears protocol
Rotowire
Head coach Mike Macdonald told reporters Monday that Jobe (head) has cleared concussion protocol, Brady Henderson of ESPN.com reports.
The Alabama product was checked for a possible concussion after taking a blow to the head in the fourth quarter of the Week 13 win over the Vikings, but he's since cleared protocol. Now fully healthy, Jobe will likely remain one of Seattle's top reserve boundary corners in the Week 14 matchup against the Falcons.

Seahawks' Julian Love: Likely coming off IR for Week 14
Rotowire
Head coach Mike Macdonald told reporters Monday that it's "looking positive" for Love (hamstring) to return from injured reserve this week, Brady Henderson of ESPN.com reports.
Macdonald noted that Love's return from IR is not certain, but the goal is for the talented safety to return for Sunday's matchup against the Falcons. The 27-year-old has not played since the Seahawks' Week 4 win over the Cardinals due to a hamstring injury. Love has yet to have his 21-day practice window opened, and that would be the next step in facilitating his return.

Seahawks' Josh Jobe: May not have concussion
Rotowire
Jobe (head) may have avoided a concussion in Sunday's 26-0 win over Minnesota, Curtis Crabtree of Fox 13 Seattle reports.
Jobe exited the game in the fourth quarter after sustaining a significant blow to the head, but head coach Mike Macdonald described the cornerback as "fine" after the contest. Jobe's status at practice will still be worth monitoring in the coming days.
