Seahawks' Boye Mafe: Limited in return to practice
Rotowire
Mafe (knee) was a limited participant in Thursday's practice, John Boyle of the Seahawks' official site reports.
Mafe injured his knee during Seattle's Week 2 win over New England. He opened the week as a DNP, but he was able to return to practice in a limited fashion Thursday. Friday's injury report will provide clarity on Mafe's status for Sunday's game against Miami. The 2022 second-round pick has nine tackles (six solo), including 2.0 sacks, over the first two games of the regular season.

Seahawks' Boye Mafe: Unavailable for practice
Rotowire
Mafe (knee) did not participate at Seattle's practice Wednesday, John Boyle of the Seahawks' official site reports.
Mafe left the team's Week 2 win over the Patriots with a knee injury in the first half, ultimately failing to return to the contest. His absence from practice Wednesday seems to suggest the injury is something of substance and he'll look to return to practice in some capacity prior to Sunday's matchup with Miami.

Seahawks' Boye Mafe: Leads team in sacks
Rotowire
Mafe posted 52 tackles (32 solo), including 9.0 sacks, across 16 games during the 2023 season.
Mafe also added six pass breakups and two fumble recoveries. The 2022 second-round pick earned more playing time in his second NFL season and showed major improvements, accordingly, leading the team in sacks. The Seahawks are hoping 2023 second-round pick Derick Hall will make similar improvements to Mafe, but regardless, we should expect Mafe to be featured in this defense again in 2024.

Seahawks' Boye Mafe: Notches second sack
Rotowire
Mafe posted two tackles (one solo) and a sack in Sunday's 27-13 win over the Giants.
Darrell Taylor left after just three defensive snaps, but Mafe's playing time didn't change much, as he logged a 44 percent snap share while veteran Bruce Irvin handled 72 percent of the defensive snaps. The rookie second-round pick managed to produce his second sack of the season. However, he won't be a dependable fantasy option until he achieves consistent playing time.
