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