Seahawks' Jordyn Brooks: Hopeful for Week 1
Rotowire
Brooks (knee-ACL) was back at practice Tuesday and the Seahawks are hopeful he will be ready for Week 1, Curtis Crabtree of Fox 13 Seattle reports.
Brooks tore his ACL in Week 17 of last season, so a return for Week 1 would be quite the recovery. He passed his physical last week to get removed from the active/PUP list, so his return to practice is another step in the right direction. The linebacker has accumulated 345 tackles across 33 games in the previous two seasons.

Seahawks' Jordyn Brooks: Will not return
Rotowire
Brooks (knee) has been ruled out for the remainder of Sunday's game against the Jets.
Brooks suffered what appeared to be a significant injury that led to immediate attention from a doctor and led to him being unable to put any weight on his leg. He did enter the team's medical tent right immediately and then he was ultimately carted off the field and to the locker room. This news is certainly a significant blow to the Seahawks and their defense as they push for a playoff spot in the last two weeks of the season. Tanner Muse has stepped into replace him at inside linebacker.
