Head coach Mike MacDonald said Monday that Knight will move into a starting role at linebacker after the Seahawks released Tyrel Dodson on Monday, Brady Henderson of ESPN.com reports.
Knight, a 2024 fourth-round pick from UTEP, has played more than 10 defensive snaps in just three games this season, recording 22 total tackles in those appearances. He'll have big shoes to fill, as Dodson led Seattle's defense in total tackles (71) before being let go. Knight will start alongside Ernest Jones beginning with Sunday's game at San Francisco.
