Julian

Love

The Seahawks are also activating Jarran Reed (wrist/thumb) as Seattle is getting two of their core defensive players back for the final five contests of the year. Love should be the starting free safety against Atlanta, while Reed should see plenty of snaps/could start up the middle, as well.

The same can be said for Seahawks DT Jarran Reed (wrist/thumb), who is also on injured reserve. The team must make the requisite roster moves by 1:00 pm tomorrow in order for Love and Reed to play. The Seahawks ruled out WR Dareke Young (quadriceps). He remains on injured reserve.

DT Jarran Reed and WR Dareke Young were also designated to return. All three players will be at practice this week. They have 21 days to be officially activated off injured reserve. Getting Love and Reed back will bolster a defense that has already been one of the best in the league this year.

The bye week appears to have done Seattle’s star corner good, as he participated in full on Wednesday and Thursday ahead of being cleared off the injury report. He’ll provide Seattle with better than they’d been getting from their depth against the Commanders. Seahawks S Julian Love recently suffered a setback in his hamstring rehab, delaying his return.

Macdonald said injured reserve could be a consideration for Love. That all but guarantees he won’t play this week. He will likely be out much longer than just one game. Love has appeared in three games this year, logging one sack and two pass breakups.

Seattle will be slightly shorthanded in the secondary after both Witherspoon and Love were unable to go in Week 7. That could become an issue considering the defensive struggle we expect in the final game of the week.

Witherspoon was a limited participant on Thursday. That is the good news. The bad news is that CB Riq Woolen (concussion) was downgraded from full participation on Thursday to a limited session on Friday. That suggests Woolen’s prior concussion symptoms may have recurred. Seahawks S Julian Love (hamstring) remains limited and LB Derick Hall (oblique) remains sidelined.

Woolen is also the subject of trade rumors after up-and-down early-season performances. Seahawks CB Devon Witherspoon (knee) and S Julian Love (hamstring) remain limited, while LB Derick Hall (oblique) remains sidelined. The Seahawks are tasked with containing Nico Collins on Monday night. Getting Witherspoon and Love back would be a big boost in that regard.

Lawrence and LB Ernest Jones (shoulder) are good to go. The Seahawks’ defense will be without LB Derick Hall (oblique). S Julian Love (hamstring), CB Devon Witherspoon (knee) and CB Riq Woolen (concussion) are listed as doubtful to play in Week 6 against the Jaguars. All three defensive backs were limited on Friday. Jaguars WRs Brian Thomas Jr. and Travis Hunter have high ceilings in this one.

Lawrence’s potential return would significantly improve the Seahawks’ odds of slowing the Jaguars’ capable rushing attack. Unfortunately, S Julian Love (hamstring) and CB Devon Witherspoon (knee) remain sidelined and CB Riq Woolen (concussion) remains limited, indicating he failed to progress to the next phase of the NFL’s concussion protocol today. Seahawks OLB Derick Hall (oblique) is not expected to play.
