Okada (hamstring) did not practice Thursday, Brady Henderson of ESPN.com reports.

Okada has not participated in a practice nor played in a regular-season game since injuring his hamstring in early September. He would be a longshot to play against the Commanders on Sunday unless he practices in at least a limited capacity Friday. Julian Love (calf) also missed Thursday's practice, so AJ Finley and Rodney Thomas could be the starting safeties for the Seahawks in Week 3.

Young (hamstring) was a full participant in practice Thursday.

The wide receiver exited Sunday's win over the Chargers during the second half and opened the practice week with a limited session Wednesday. Young should be on track to play Sunday at New Orleans now that he's back, but his role will likely remain split between special teams and offense, as he has logged 31 snaps on special teams and 22 on offense so far this season.

Love did not practice Thursday due to a calf injury, Brady Henderson of ESPN.com reports.

Love wasn't listed on Wednesday's injury report, so it's unclear whether he tweaked his calf in that practice or whether Thursday's absence was a maintenance day. Regardless, Love's status for Sunday's road game against the Commanders will become more clear once the Seahawks announce their injury designations following Friday's practice. With Ty Okada (hamstring) also sidelined, AJ Finley and Rodney Thomas are currently the only two health safeties on the Seahawks' 53-man roster.

Jones (neck) was a full participant in Thursday's practice, Brady Henderson of ESPN.com reports.

Jones opened the week as a limited practice participant due to a neck issue. That limited practice was a precautionary measure given his full participation in Thursday's session, and the 2021 third-rounder is well on track to play in Sunday's road game against the Commanders. Jones has 21 tackles (12 solo) through the first two games of the regular season.

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

The cornerback was limited in Wednesday's session. Porter missed the Raiders' Week 2 win over the Chargers with the foot injury, but now that he's logged a full practice, he should be on track to play Sunday at New Orleans. Porter played on 45 defensive snaps in Week 1 and broke up two passes.

The Bears cut Miller from the practice squad Thursday.

Miller signed with the Bears' practice squad after failing to make the 53-man roster out of training camp. The veteran wide receiver will explore his next options and look to catch on with a team in need of an extra pass-catcher who can also contribute on special teams.

Thompson (quadriceps) did not practice Thursday.

Thompson has missed each of the first two practices of Week 3 prep while tending to a quadriceps injury, and he'll have one more opportunity to practice in at least a limited capacity ahead of Sunday's road game against the Bills. The rookie fourth-rounder has operated in a depth role through the first two games of the regular season, logging one catch (on three targets) for 13 yards in that span. Derius Davis and recent free agent signing Marquez Valdes-Scantling would see more involvement in the offense if Thompson is unable to play in Buffalo.

Dean (shoulder) was a full participant in practice Thursday.

The inside linebacker was limited to open the practice week Wednesday. Now that he's back, Dean should be good to go for Sunday's game against the Saints. He has recorded 15 tackles (11 solo), including 1.5 sacks, and two forced fumbles through two contests.

James (finger) was a full participant in Thursday's practice.

James broke his pinky finger during the Chargers' Week 2 loss to the Raiders, but the veteran safety was on the field for Thursday's session with a cast on, per Kris Rhim of ESPN.com. James is track to play in Sunday's road game against the Bills, though it's unclear whether he will don the cast for that contest. He's logged 17 tackles (nine solo) and one pass defense through the first two games of the 2026 regular season.

Trotter (shoulder) did not participate in Thursday's practice.

Trotter has opened Week 3 prep with back-to-back DNPs due to a shoulder injury he presumably sustained during this past Sunday's 23-19 loss to the Browns. He'll need to practice in at least a limited capacity Friday to have a realistic chance of playing this Sunday against the Vikings. SirVocea Dennis and Christian Rozeboom would be the top candidates to start alongside Alex Anzalone at inside linebacker if Trotter is unable to play.
