Seahawks' Tyrice Knight: Takes advantage of increased snaps
Rotowire
Knight tallied nine tackles (seven solo) Monday in Seattle's loss to Detroit.
Knight finished second on the Seahawks in stops behind Tyrel Dodson in the defeat. With Jerome Baker (hamstring) missing the contest, Knight notched his second straight start and logged a season-high 74 percent of Seattle's defensive snaps. He could again see plenty of time on the field Sunday versus the Giants if Baker has to miss a third consecutive week.

Seahawks' Tyrice Knight: In line to start vs. Miami
Rotowire
Knight is in line to make his first career NFL start Sunday against Miami due to Jerome Baker (hamstring) being listed as doubtful, Curtis Crabtree of Fox 13 Seattle reports.
Baker had been dealing with a hamstring injury during training camp, and he aggravated it during the Seahawks' Week 2 overtime win over the Patriots. Knight took over for Baker at inside linebacker in that contest, and the former finished with seven tackles (three solo) while playing 42 snaps on defense and 10 on special teams. Knight was known as a run-stopper at UTEP, and the rookie fourth-round pick should see plenty of action at inside linebacker alongside Tyrel Dodson if Baker is inactive Sunday.
