Seahawks' Rylie Mills: Good to go vs. Indianapolis
Rotowire
Mills (knee) is active for Sunday's game against the Colts.
The rookie fifth-rounder is ready to make his NFL debut after starting the season on the reserve/NFI list while recovering from a torn ACL that he suffered during his final collegiate season at Notre Dame. Mills may not have a large role in his debut, but he'll provide depth for the Seahawks' defensive line behind Jarran Reed, Byron Murphy and Leonard Williams.

Seahawks' Rylie Mills: Activated off NFI list
Rotowire
The Seahawks activated Mills (knee) off the non-football injury list Saturday, and he is questionable for Sunday's Week 15 matchup against Indianapolis, John Boyle of the team's official site reports.
Mills had spent his entire rookie campaign to this point on the reserve/NFI list while recovering from a torn ACL he suffered during his final college season. Now that he's been activated, the Notre Dame product is eligible to make his NFL debut, though it remains to be seen if he'll be active for Sunday's game against the Colts. If he does play, Mills probably won't have a major role for a Seattle defensive line that is otherwise mostly healthy.

Seahawks' Rylie Mills: Back from ACL injury
Rotowire
Mills (knee) was getting "half speed work" in during OTAs on Thursday, Corbin Smith of emeraldcityspectrum.com reports.
The defensive tackle and fifth-round pick appears to be back after missing Notre Dame's final three games during the College Football Playoff with what was at the time an undisclosed injury. Since then, it's been confirmed as an ACL injury, for which he underwent surgery, per Smith. Mills should be able to compete for a rotational role on Seattle's defensive line.
