Here’s the updated 53-man roster by jersey number going into tomorrow’s game against the Cleveland Browns.
The Seahawks are serious about making a deep postseason run this year. Just hours after their home win over the Browns, Seattle pulled off a trade that should help them get there. The front office has sent a 2024 second-round pick and a 2025 fifth-rounder to the Giants in exchange for Leonard Williams, one of the top interior pass rushers in the league.
To make room for Wiliams, the Seahawks have waived wide receiver Cody Thompson. Our roster tracker is now updated (Oct. 31).

Injuries can derail even the most promising Super Bowl contenders. While the Seahawks’ ship is still afloat, they have nevertheless been battered by a string of injuries early on this season.

Here are all the injury updates from Thursday’s practice at the VMAC.
The Seahawks announced four roster moves today
The Seahawks announced four roster moves today as they begin preparing for Sunday’s divisional matchup with the Cardinals.
Here’s a quick review of today’s transactions.
The NFL has decided not to punish Jamal Adams, after all.
The NFL has decided not to punish Jamal Adams, after all.
Earlier this week ESPN’s Adam Schefter reported that the league was considering disciplinary action for Adams after he yelled at the unaffiliated neurotrauma consultant during Monday night’s game against the Giants. Adams issued an apology on Twitter a couple days ago. Whether they were moved by the message or not we’ll never know for sure, but in any case Schefter is now reporting that no fine or other punishment is coming.
After reviewing the incident and seeing Jamal Adams’ apology, the NFL has decided not to discipline the Seahawks’ safety for his actions toward the independent concussion doctor appointed by the NFL and NFLPA following his concussion sideline evaluation in Monday night’s game.

Adams looked extremely sharp when he was on the field against New York – posting a couple of stops. However, he only lasted nine snaps before he suffered a concussion by taking a knee to the helmet when he tackled Daniel Jones on a scramble. Adams was obviously concussed and quickly ruled out from returning to the field.
After the game was over, head coach Pete Carroll told reporters that Adams should be OK to return after the bye week, but as of yet there’s been no reportage on whether or not he’s passed protocol. Either way, Seattle will visit Cincinnati for another early kickoff in Week 6.

The Seahawks beat the Panthers yesterday. improving to 2-1 on the season. However, they did not come out of Lumen Field unscathed. Several more players went down during Sunday’s win, adding to what was already a long list of players dealing with injuries.
After the game was over, head coach Pete Carroll gave updates on a few of them. Here’s what we learned from Carroll as well as what we know coming out of Week 3.
SS Jamal Adams (quad)
First, an update on the injury king. Carroll told reporters that Jamal Adams will definitely play in next week’s Monday Night Football matchup against the Giants. Adams was one of seven inactives for Sunday’s game and hasn’t played since the first quarter of the 2022 season.
OLB Darrell Taylor (leg)
Among the list of in-game injuries was edge rusher Darrell Taylor. Carroll says Taylor got kicked in the shin, which aggravated an old injury and forced him to the sidelines. Rookie Derick Hall was the next man up in the OLB rotation.
DE Dre’Mont Jones (hip)
The team’s big-ticket free agent item also suffered an injury. Apparently Dre’Mont Jones felt his “hip tighten up” according to Carroll, which was also the result of an old injury being aggravated.
LG Damien Lewis (hand)
Seattle’s starting left guard Damien Lewis was also listed as questionable to return at one point with a hand injury. However, he did eventually get back on the field. While he was out Ben Brown took his place at left guard.
CB Tre Brown (concussion)
The worst injury happened to Week 2 hero, cornerback Tre Brown. He was seemingly knocked out during a tackle attempt in the first half. Not long after, he was ruled out with a concussion. Mike Jackson took over at right cornerback and played well, another sign of the team’s incredible CB depth.

It’s been years since the building was that loud and if it continues it will help re-establish this team’s lost dominance at home.
The Seahawks defense still has a lot of work to do and injuries are piling up like laundry in a college dorm. However, Seattle got the job done at home against the Panthers on Sunday, taking down Carolina 37-27. After a stunning loss at home in Week 1 to the Rams and an overtime shootout with the Lions last week, winning by 10 points is a comfortable margin and reassuring about this team’s outlook for the season.
Perhaps the most reassuring thing about it was the impact that the crowd made on the game – as the Panthers offense committed eight false start penalties. It’s been years since the building was that loud and if it continues it will help re-establish this team’s lost dominance at home.
As you might expect, Seahawks fans are for the most part elated. Here’s how they have been reacting on social media to this week’s win over Carolina.
We have since gotten updates on two of them.

Metcalf got sandwiched between two Detroit defenders while making a catch at the one-yard line in last week’s game. He left the field and was listed as questionable but returned soon after.
Also, according to a report Adam Schefter at ESPN, strong safety Jamal Adams is not expected to play.
Seahawks safety Jamal Adams, who has not played a game since suffering a season-ending torn quad in week 1 of last season 377 days ago but is listed as questionable for Sunday, is not expected to play vs. the Panthers, per source. Adams has a strong chance to make his return next…

Adams has not suited up since Week 1 of the 2022 season against the Broncos, when he tore his quad in the first quarter. It’s been a long battle to get back back for Adams – who will likely make his debut next Monday night against the Giants.

After so many changes now seems like a good team to revisit the depth chart.
The Seattle Seahawks made a flurry of roster and practice squad moves on Wednesday, reshaping their team as they prepare for their third game of the 2023 season at home against the Carolina Panthers.
To recap, rookie defensive end Mike Morris has been placed on injured reserve and head coach Pete Carroll says he’s likely out for the year. The team has also signed cornerback Artie Burns to the active roster, signed tight end Brady Russell off the Philadelphia Eagles practice squad and released second-year outside linebacker Tyreke Smith. These moves come on the heels of an also-active Week 2, which saw the Seahawks bring in four new offensive linemen following injuries to Charles Cross and Abe Lucas – who is also currently on the injured reserve list.
After so many changes now seems like a good team to revisit the depth chart. Here’s what each position looks like, including practice squad players.
Here’s a review of all the reports this week concerning the Seahawks.
The Seattle Seahawks have been extremely busy over the last couple of days based on what we’ve read from NFL reporters around the league. While the team hasn’t officially announced any of them yet, there are now at least five moves coming – with heavy speculation about one more to come.
The rumors concern second-year cornerback Riq Woolen, who injured his shoulder in Sunday’s overtime win over the Detroit Lions. While head coach Pete Carroll told reporters a few days ago that Woolen will be “OK”, that’s Pete-Carroll code for likely to miss the next four or five weeks due to a significant injury that requires surgery. Hopefully that’s not the case this time, but we’ll find out one way or another soon.
