Seahawks' Jordyn Brooks: Likely to return for season opener
Rotowire
Seahawks coach Pete Carroll said Saturday that he would be shocked if Brooks (knee) does not play in the regular-season opener, John Boyle of the team's official site reports.
Brooks returned to practice Tuesday after recovering from a torn ACL suffered in Week 17 last season. The 2020 first-round pick has finished among the league's top-six leading tacklers each of the past two seasons, totaling 345 stops over this span. Brooks' availability for Week 1 would represent a significant boost for Seattle's defense, which also re-signed six-time All-Pro Bobby Wagner this offseason.

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.

Rotowire
Brooks (neck) was a limited participant at Wednesday's practice, John Boyle of the Seahawks' official site reports.
Brooks injured his neck during Seattle's Week 15 loss to San Francisco. He seemed to have put the injury behind him after he was listed as a full participant on Tuesday's practice estimate, but Wednesday's limited listing indicates he's not in the clear for Saturday's game in Kansas City just yet. Brooks has been one of the top IDP performers thus far in 2022, tallying 149 tackles to go with a sack, a forced fumble and a fumble recovery over his first 14 appearances.

Seahawks' Jordyn Brooks: Full go to begin Week 16
Rotowire
Brooks (neck) was listed as a full participant on the Seahawks' injury report Tuesday.
Brooks was evaluated for a neck injury during Week 15's loss to San Francisco on Thursday Night Football. The 25-year-old was then deemed questionable to return, though it's unclear if he was able to return to this contest. Nevertheless, it doesn't appear the issue will limit Brooks heading into Saturday's game against Kansas City, and the third-year linebacker should continue to serve as Seattle's top tackler moving forward.

Seahawks' Jordyn Brooks: Questionable to return
Rotowire
Brooks (neck) has been downgraded to questionable to return to Thursday's game against the 49ers, Michael-Shawn Dugar of The Athletic reports.
Brooks was initially deemed probable to return during the second half after being removed to be evaluated for a neck injury. While the results of this evaluation are still unclear, the third-year linebacker was seen watching the game from the sideline without his helmet on, per Dugar. With less than five minutes remaining, Brooks will have little time left to get back on the field before the end of this contest.

Rotowire
Brooks exited to be evaluated for a neck injury during Thursday's game against San Francisco, though he is considered probable to return, John Boyle of the Seahawks' official site reports.
Brooks logged eight tackles before he was removed with a potential neck injury. Brooks was the league's second-leading tackler coming into Week 15, with 141 stops over 13 games this season.

Rotowire
Brooks posted 10 tackles (five solo) in Sunday's 30-24 defeat versus the Panthers.
Brooks tallied at least 10 tackles for the ninth time in 13 games this season. However, he actually finished as the team's third-leading tackler behind Cody Barton and Ryan Neal (knee). Brooks still far and away leads the Seahawks in tackles this season (141), and he now ranks just behind Jaguars linebacker Foye Oluokun (142) for the league's most tackles through Week 14. Brooks will serve a vital role in trying to slow down the 49ers' offense during Thursday Night Football in Week 15.

Seahawks' Jordyn Brooks: Misses practice
Rotowire
Seahawks coach Pete Carroll said that Brooks sat out Friday's practice while dealing with a tight hamstring, Curtis Crabtree of Sports Radio 950 KJR Seattle reports.
It's likely that Seattle will take every precaution when it comes to Brooks' health this offseason after he finished the 2021 campaign with the NFL's second-most tackles (184). In the starting inside linebacker's absence, backups Joel Iyiegbuniwe and Tanner Muse should see increased reps this preseason.
