• Seahawks' Tyrice Knight: Moves into starting role

  11D ago • By RotoWire

  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.

• Seahawks' Tyrice Knight: In line to start vs. Miami

  09/21/2024 • By RotoWire

  Knight is in line to make his first career NFL start Sunday against Miami due to Jerome Baker (hamstring) being listed as doubtful, Curtis Crabtree of Fox 13 Seattle reports. Baker had been dealing with a hamstring injury during training camp, and he aggravated it during the Seahawks' Week 2 overtime win over the Patriots. Knight took over for Baker at inside linebacker in that contest, and the former finished with seven tackles (three solo) while playing 42 snaps on defense and 10 on special teams. Knight was known as a run-stopper at UTEP, and the rookie fourth-round pick should see plenty of action at inside linebacker alongside Tyrel Dodson if Baker is inactive Sunday.
