Seahawks Eyeing Week 14 Return For Julian Love

November 29th, 2025 at 1:31pm CST by Nikhil Mehta

The Seahawks are hoping to get injured safety Julian Love back from injured reserve in Week 14, according to The Athletic’s Michael Shawn-Dugar.

Love, 27, has dealt with multiple injuries this season. He played through a groin injury in Week 2 but sat out the following week with a hamstring issue. He return in Week 4 and played a full game, but further issues with his hamstring sidelined him again.

The Seahawks were initially hoping that Love would come back within a few weeks, but he suffered a setback shortly after his return to practice in Week 6. He was eventually placed on injured reserve on November 1 and is now eligible to be activated after missing four games. He has not been designated to return, but that will likely come early next week so he has time to ramp up before Seattle’s Week 14 matchup with the Falcons.

The Seahawks have primarily called on third-year safety Ty Okada to replace Love this season. Despite a 68% snap share, he ranks fifth on the team in tackles and passes defended, and his 73.3 overall grade from Pro Football Focus (subscription required) ranks 20th among all NFL safeties with at least 200 snaps.

The Seahawks have been one of the league’s best defenses this year with the third-fewest yards per rush and yards per pass in the league. Love’s return could further boost the unit, though he will have to stay healthy for the rest of the year to do so.

Seahawks Reunite With S Quandre Diggs

November 26th, 2025 at 2:04pm CST by Connor Byrne

3:12pm: Diggs is indeed joining the Seahawks’ practice squad, per ESPN’s Adam Schefter. He may not need too much time to adjust to Mike Macdonald‘s defense, as Diggs played under former Macdonald assistant Dennard Wilson in Tennessee.

12:42pm: Safety Quandre Diggs enjoyed a productive run with the Seahawks from 2019-23. After the Seahawks released Diggs in March 2024, he spent a season and a half in Tennessee. Now back on the market after the Titans waived him earlier this month, it appears Diggs will return to Seattle.

Diggs indicated on X that he is rejoining the Seahawks. The two sides are indeed working toward a practice squad deal, Brady Henderson of ESPN reports.

Diggs was a full-time starter in his first season with the Titans, but a Lisfranc injury limited him to eight games. He returned this year to start in four of nine games before the Titans released him at his request. The 32-year-old has picked up 30 tackles and one pass defensed this season. Pro Football Focus ranks his 2025 performance a respectable 39th among 93 qualifying safeties.

A sixth-round pick of the Lions in 2015, Diggs first landed in Seattle in an October 2019 trade. The Seahawks bought low on the defender, giving up a 2020 fifth-rounder for Diggs and a 2021 seventh.

General manager John Schneider made a shrewd move in acquiring Diggs, who wound up serving as a full-time starter during his initial stint with the team. Diggs made three Pro Bowls and intercepted 18 passes over 72 regular-season games.

Once he officially reunites with the Seahawks, Diggs will provide quality depth to one of the league’s best defenses. The Seahawks, off to an 8-3 start and in the running for an NFC West title, rank seventh in both yards per game and points per game allowed. However, the team is nicked up at safety, which explains why it’s circling back to Diggs.

Starter Julian Love, who hasn’t played since Week 4, went on IR with a hamstring injury on Nov. 1. Love has missed four games since then, but there’s no indication a return is imminent. Worsening matters, replacement Ty Okada is now an IR candidate after injuring his oblique in a win over Diggs’ previous team, the Titans, last week, according to Bob Condotta of the Seattle Times.

With Love and Okada down, Coby Bryant, D’Anthony Bell, and versatile rookie Nick Emmanwori are the only healthy safety options on the Seahawks’ roster. Diggs would join undrafted rookie Maxen Hook as practice squad choices.

Falcons kicker Younghoe Koo is listed as questionable, but head coach Raheem Morris is confident he’ll play, calling Patterson an emergency option.

Speculation out of Baltimore was that Maulet wouldn’t require a second stint on injured reserve with his calf injury, but that intel appears to have been off. Maulet and Kolar could potentially make a return in time for the postseason, but they’ll miss four games before they do.

VanSumeren served double-duty as a fullback and linebacker. With his placement on IR, Uzomah was targeted as a possibility to fill in at fullback.

Toney is set to make his debut for the regular season. The former first-round pick out of Florida has had a rocky first four years in the league, despite coming away with two Super Bowl rings in Kansas City. He was signed to the Browns’ practice squad just after the season opener and will be eligible to see game action with Cleveland in Week 11.

O’Donnell was added to the 49ers’ practice squad earlier this week given the chance of Mitch Wishnowsky missing time. The latter is now on injured reserve, ensuring at least a four-game absence. O’Donnell, 32, is a veteran of 145 games but Week 11 will mark his first regular season action since 2022.

This has been a busy week for Tonyan transactions. The Vikings dropped him from their 53-man roster to their practice squad the same day, as vested vets are allowed to do before the trade deadline, and are now elevating the veteran tight end. Tonyan has played in four Vikings games this season but has yet to catch a pass. His return to the active roster comes as the team ruled out T.J. Hockenson, who remains in the PUP-return window. Hockenson’s window closes Friday, pointing to a Week 9 debut.

Seahawks Place S Rayshawn Jenkins On IR

October 16th, 2024 at 5:24pm CST by Ben Levine

The Seahawks have lost a key defender for at least the next four games. The team announced that they’ve placed safety Rayshawn Jenkins on injured reserve. In a corresponding move, the Seahawks signed practice-squad safety Ty Okada to the active roster.

As ESPN’s Brady Henderson notes, Jenkins was a mainstay on the injury report over the past two weeks with a hand injury. The safety also played the past two games with a cast over his left hand. The injury will now force him off the field for at least the next four games. Jenkins will be eligible to return in Week 12.

The Seahawks have been especially reliant on their offseason acquisition, as Jenkins hasn’t missed a defensive snap through the first six weeks. The veteran has collected 38 tackles, and he returned a fumble for a touchdown in Week 5. Pro Football Focus only ranks Jenkins 56th among 84 qualifying safeties, although the site is high on his coverage ability.

The former fourth-round pick spent the first four seasons of his career with the Chargers, evolving from a special teamer into a starting defender. He inked a four-year, $35MM deal with the Jaguars in 2021, but he was handed his walking papers back in March after starting all 48 of his appearances in three seasons with the organization.

Julian Love will continue to sit atop the depth chart, and K’Von Wallace will likely slide into the starting lineup during Jenkins’ absence. The team could also turn to versatile defensive back Coby Bryant, and they’ve now added Okada to the grouping. The former UDFA has appeared in six games for the Seahawks over the past two seasons.

Seahawks Waive WR Dee Eskridge, Leave T Abraham Lucas On PUP; Squad Now At 53

August 27th, 2024 at 9:30pm CST by Sam Robinson

Here is how the now-Mike Macdonald-led Seahawks reduced their roster to 53 players:

Released:

Waived:

Waived/injured:

Placed on reserve/PUP list:

Injury trouble lingers for Lucas, who missed a chunk of last season because of an injury Pete Carroll labeled “chronic.” While the Seahawks’ new staff pushed back on that, the team’s right tackle starter is once again out of commission. Lucas, who started alongside Charles Cross as rookies in 2022, has started all 22 games he has played. But that only included six contests last year. Lucas must miss at least four games due to Tuesday’s designation. Lucas, who underwent knee surgery this offseason, also dealt with a shoulder issue heading into his second season.

The Seahawks brought back George Fant, who filled in as a Texans spot starter at RT last season. Fant’s presence becomes more important in light of this latest Lucas injury news. The player Fant was primarily competing with, Curtis, received cut notice today as well.

Macdonald and OC Ryan Grubb are not keeping Eskridge around, representing a miss for GM John Schneider. The Seahawks made Eskridge their top pick in the 2021 draft, which began in the second round due to the Jamal Adams trade. The Western Michigan alum has been unable to catch on. He has 17 career catches for 122 yards, with injuries intervening along the way. The Seahawks further addressed the issue by taking Jaxon Smith-Njigba in last year’s first round, but they have needed to devote considerable resources to stocking their WR positions.

Burns figures to be a candidate to come back soon, via ESPN.com’s Brady Henderson, who notes the former first-rounder enjoyed a good training camp and worked as the team’s starting slot corner at points. The Seahawks also cut one of the players they just acquired in a trade. Barrett, obtained from the Panthers, could be kept on the practice squad if he clears waivers Wednesday.
