Pritchett recorded six tackles (five solo) and two passes defensed, including an interception, during Wednesday's 13-10 win versus the Patriots.

With Seattle down seven early in the fourth quarter, Pritchett swung the momentum hard by tipping up a deep pass intended for Romeo Doubs to himself and returning the pick for 30 yards. The play set up a Seahawks touchdown to tie the game at 10-10. Pritchett played 53 of Seattle's 71 defensive snaps in Week 1, and he may have earned himself more consideration for playing time moving forward.

Stribling (ankle) is questionable to return to Thursday's game against the Rams, Matt Maiocco of NBC Sports Bay Area reports.

Stribling took a trip to the blue medical tent on the sideline near the end of the first quarter. Prior to the injury, Stribling wasn't targeted on any of Brock Purdy's 14 pass attempts. Demarcus Robinson would be in line for more work behind Mike Evans and Deebo Samuel if Stribling is unable to return Thursday.

Love recorded six total tackles (four solo) and an interception in Wednesday's 13-10 win over New England.

Love was on the field for all 71 of the team's defensive snaps, helping limit the Patriots' quarterback Drake Maye to a 54.9 passer rating in the victory. The safety's biggest play of the game came in the fourth quarter when he jumped in front of a pass intended for DeMario Douglas deep down the field, securing his first interception of the year. Love was limited to just eight regular-season contests during the 2025 campaign due to a hamstring injury, and he's now started off 2026 with a standout performance.

Jobe tallied six tackles (five solo) and intercepted a pass in Thursday's 13-10 win over the Patriots.

Jobe made the defensive play of the game for Seattle, stepping in front of a Drake Maye pass intended for Mack Hollins in the end zone with less than 30 seconds remaining to halt New England's attempt at a comeback. That helped Jobe get his 2026 campaign off to a strong start after he logged a career-high 12 defensed passes over 16 regular-season games last year. Jobe played 70 of the Seahawks' 71 defensive snaps Wednesday and figures to take on a near every-down role during the campaign.

McDonald (ankle) didn't participate in practice Thursday.

McDonald was listed as a limited participant because of the ankle issue Wednesday and downgraded to DNP on Thursday. That's a concerning trend ahead of Sunday's season opener versus Buffalo. Friday's final injury report of the week should provide more clarity about McDonald's likelihood of suiting up against the Bills.

Gillotte (foot) was a full participant in practice Thursday.

The defensive end ruptured his plantar fascia during a drill late in training camp, but even then, the injury was not considered serious. Now, it appears that Gillotte is on track to play Week 1 against the Broncos. The 2025 third-round pick finished with 38 tackles (14 solo), including 1.5 sacks, in a rotational role as a rookie.

Wattenberg (undisclosed) was not listed on the Broncos' official injury report Thursday, Aric DiLalla of the team's official site reports.

Wattenberg was dealing with an undisclosed injury during training camp, but he appears to be past it as Week 1 prep begins for the Broncos. He should resume his starting role at center Monday at Kansas City.

Bowry (foot) did not appear on the Bills' injury report Wednesday.

Bowry was dealing with a left foot injury late in training camp, but he now appears to be back to full health ahead of the regular season. The 23-year-old is expected to serve as a top depth option at offensive tackle behind starters Dion Dawkins and Spencer Brown this season.

Smith (hip) was a full participant in practice Thursday.

The right guard was dealing with a hip injury during training camp, though it was described even then as a short-term issue. Smith's availability for Week 1 was never really in doubt, and now that he's practicing ahead of Monday's matchup with Denver, he should be ready to play come game time.

Russell caught both of his targets for 20 yards and notched one tackle on special teams during Wednesday's 13-10 win over the Patriots.

Russell was on the field for 17 of Seattle's 50 offensive snaps as well as for 20 special-teams snaps. The two receptions were the first two catches (and touches) of his NFL career. Russell played a career-high 58 regular-season offensive snaps over 17 games last year, and Wednesday's workload suggests he may continue to increase his involvement in 2026, though he's not likely to be a desirable fantasy option given his role.
