Player Outlook
Seattle's defense was mostly miserable last year, but there are plenty of reasons to think it could be better. The Seahawks brought back Bobby Wagner to shore up the middle, then drafted cornerback Devon Witherspoon in Round 1 and outside linebacker Derick Hall in the second. Tariq Woolen and Coby Bryant were good as rookies, but they could be even better in Year 2. We can't get Seattle's DST inside our top 12, but if you like their Week 1 matchup at home against the Rams, we wouldn't blame you for taking them in the last round. At the very least, expect they'll be a streaming option Week 3 at home against Carolina.

  • Seahawks' Jarran Reed: Misses practice Thursday

    Rotowire
    Reed (quadriceps) did not participate at the Seahawks' practice Wednesday, John Boyle of the Seahawks' official site reports. Reed popped up on the injury report Thursday, sitting out the team's first practice of the week with an injured quad. The nose tackle recorded a season-high eight tackles, including two sacks, in the team's 37-27 win over the Panthers in Week 3. It's possible that the team just gave him a day off, considering Seattle doesn't play its Week 4 matchup against the Giants on Monday night.

  • Seahawks' Riq Woolen: Has chance to return next week

    Rotowire
    Woolen (chest) has a good chance to return in Week 4 against the Giants, according to head coach Pete Carroll, Gregg Bell of The Tacoma News Tribune reports. Woolen suffered the injury during the team's Week 2 win over the Lions and was forced to miss the Week 3 victory over the Panthers. His potential return would certainly be a boost for the Seattle secondary, which is still dealing with multiple injuries and added Tre Brown (concussion) to the list Sunday.

  • Seahawks' Tre Brown: Enters protocols

    Rotowire
    Brown has been ruled out for the remainder of Sunday's game against the Panthers due to a concussion, Curtis Crabtree of Fox 13 Seattle reports. Browns' exit will leave the Seahawks secondary depleted, as Riq Woolen (chest) and Coby Bryant (toe) are inactive. Mike Jackson has stepped up as his replacement opposite Devon Witherspoon at corner. Brown will now need to pass the league's five-step concussion protocol to gain clearance to play in Week 4 against the Giants.

    Rotowire
    Reed (groin) is active for Sunday's matchup against the Panthers. Reed battled a groin injury during Week 3 prep but will ultimately suit up. He's played more than 60 percent of Seattle's defensive snaps in each of the first two games of the season, totaling five tackles (three solo).

  • Seahawks' Riq Woolen: Not playing Sunday

    Rotowire
    Woolen (chest) is inactive Sunday against the Panthers. Woolen was doubtful coming into the day, so his inability to suit up isn't necessarily a surprise. Tre Brown and Mike Jackson are both candidates to see extra snaps against Carolina.

  • Seahawks' Quandre Diggs: Good to go

    Rotowire
    Diggs (hamstring) is active Sunday against the Panthers. Diggs closed out the week with back-to-back DNPs, but that won't stop the Texas product from playing against Carolina. His ability to suit up should be good news for the Seahawks' secondary.

  • Seahawks' Julian Love: Ready to go Sunday

    Rotowire
    Love (hamstring) is active Sunday against the Panthers. Love logged a limited practice Friday, after registering DNPs earlier in the week.

  • Seahawks' Jamal Adams: Still waiting on season debut

    Rotowire
    Adams (knee) is inactive for Sunday's contest against the Panthers. Adams has been closing in on making his first appearance since Week 1 of last season, when he sustained a torn quadriceps in his left leg. Despite sandwiching full sessions around Thursday's limited practice this week, though, he won't be available to the Seahawks defense Sunday. In Adams' stead, Julian Love (hamstring) will continue to team with Quandre Diggs (hamstring) as Seattle's starting safety tandem.
