Seahawks' K.J. Wright: Sees dip in tackling numbers
K.J. Wright recorded 86 tackles, two sacks, 10 pass breakups and an interception over 16 games during the 2020 season.In the final year of his contract, Wright endured a severe dip in his tackling numbers after posting a career-high 132 stops in 2019. However, he reached double-digit pass breakups for a second straight season, and he notched a sack for the first time since 2016. After 10 years in Seattle, it's unclear if Wright will be back in 2021. The arrival of 2020 first-round pick Jordyn Brooks works against Wright, but the Seattle Seahawks would need to bring in another linebacker via free agency or the draft if they let Wright walk.

Seahawks' K.J. Wright: Able to rebound for Week 10
K.J. Wright (ankle) is active for Sunday's matchup against the Rams.The one-time Pro Bowl linebacker seemed to have a bleak outlook for this NFC West showdown late in the practice week, sitting out both Wednesday and Thursday because of his recent ankle injury. Coach Pete Carroll remained optimistic, however, indicating the veteran still had a chance to go against Los Angeles despite a curtailed practice workload. Wright, in fact, has powered through the issue, and he will make his ninth start of the season against a Rams team that ranks No. 6 in the NFL in total offense.

Seahawks' K.J. Wright: Trending in right direction
K.J. Wright (ankle) is questionable for Sunday's game against the Rams, Curtis Crabtree of Sports Radio 950 KJR Seattle reports.Wright sat out of practice Wednesday and Thursday, but coach Pete Carroll believes there's a "really good chance" the veteran linebacker suits up Sunday, according to Michael-Shawn Dugar of The Athletic. That's an encouraging sign, but he'll likely be monitored over the weekend because the Seattle Seahawks likely won't take any risks with a Thursday night game against Arizona around the corner. If Wright's health takes a turn and he's forced to sit out, Cody Barton would be next up at strong-side linebacker.
