Seahawks' Devon Witherspoon: Notches sack in Super Bowl
Rotowire
Witherspoon recorded four solo tackles, 1.0 sacks and a pass breakup in Sunday's 29-13 win over the Patriots in the Super Bowl.
Witherspoon was sent on the blitz multiple times and seemingly made an impact on each trip. He was fantastic in coverage, too, helping secure the Super Bowl win in his third season. The 2023 first-round pick recorded 89 tackles (61 solo), 11 pass breakups, 1.5 sacks and an interception through 15 games, including the playoffs. Witherspoon is heading into the final year of his rookie contract, although he'll almost certainly have his fifth-year option picked up.

Rotowire
Love recorded three tackles (two solo) and an interception in Sunday's 29-13 win over the Patriots in the Super Bowl.
Patriots QB Drake Maye threw an errant deep pass right into Love's handles in the fourth quarter, and the veteran safety returned it for 35 yards. Love missed eight games with a hamstring injury earlier this season, but he was quite dependable when healthy and finished the year with 43 tackles (29 solo), seven pass breakups, 1.0 sacks and two interceptions through 11 games, including the postseason.

Seahawks' Derick Hall: Fantastic showing in Super Bowl
Rotowire
Hall recorded 2.0 sacks and a forced fumble in Sunday's 29-13 win over the Patriots in the Super Bowl.
The Seahawks' plethora of pass rushers was a difference maker in this game, and Hall was legitimately in the MVP conversation with his performance. Hall recorded just 2.0 sacks through 14 regular-season games, but he matched that total on the biggest stage. The 2023 second-round pick dropped Patriots QB Drake Maye for a 10-yard loss on the first drive of the game. He added a strip-sack in the waning seconds of the third quarter with the ball being recovered by second-year DT Byron Murphy. Hall will be in the final year of his rookie contract in 2026, making him an extension candidate this offseason.

Seahawks' Tyrice Knight: Possible concussion
Rotowire
Knight is being evaluated for a possible concussion and is questionable to return to Super Bowl LX against the Patriots.
Knight left the game in the third quarter after suffering a potential head injury. The strongside linebacker is a rotational part of the Seahawks' defensive and special teams units. If the 25-year-old cannot return to the game, starter Drake Thomas will likely need to take on a further increased snap share.

Seahawks' Julian Love: Set for Super Bowl LX
Rotowire
Love (shoulder) doesn't have an injury designation ahead of Sunday's Super Bowl LX matchup against the Patriots, John Boyle of the Seahawks' official site reports.
Love was a full participant throughout the second week of Super Bowl preparation, clearing the talented safety of any injury designation ahead of Sunday's title clash.

Seahawks' Nick Emmanwori: Expected to play Sunday
Rotowire
Seahawks coach Mike Macdonald said Thursday that Emmanwori (ankle) is "fully expected" to play Sunday versus New England in the Super Bowl, Jeff Darlington of ESPN reports.
Emmanwori officially was listed as limited Wednesday after rolling his ankle in practice, and per Michael-Shawn Dugar of The Athletic, Macdonald said the rookie second-rounder is managing a low-ankle sprain. Macdonald also noted that Seattle will be overly cautious with Emmanwori's health, so it won't be surprising if he's limited again or even held out entirely Thursday and/or Friday. What remains to be seen is whether Emmanwori will manage to avoid an injury designation entirely for Sunday's game.

Seahawks' Ernest Jones: Ready for the Super Bowl
Rotowire
Jones (chest) doesn't have an injury designation ahead of the Super Bowl LX matchup against the Patriots, John Boyle of the Seahawks' official site reports.
Jones was a limited participant in Thursday and Friday's practice sessions, and the absence of any injury designation means the middle linebacker should be good to go for the Super Bowl. The 26-year-old will have one more week to recover fully, but being cleared a week before the game is a strong sign that the defensive captain will be playing.

Thomas continues to recover from a shoulder injury that he sustained during the fourth quarter of the Seahawks' NFC Championship Game victory over the Rams on Sunday, when he logged six tackles (one solo).

Jones is working through a chest injury that he likely picked up during the Seahawks' victory over the Rams during Sunday's NFC Championship Game, when he tallied eight tackles (six solo) while playing every single defensive snap. The Seahawks so far are limiting their practice sessions this week, so Jones' practice participation during the week leading up to Super Bowl LX against the Patriots on Sunday, Feb. 8 will provide more clarity on his injury progression.

Seahawks' Julian Love: Dealing with shoulder issue
Rotowire
Love (shoulder) was estimated as a limited practice participant on the Seahawks' injury report Wednesday, Michael-Shawn Dugar of The Athletic reports.
Love played 61 defensive snaps in the NFC Championship Game, collecting four tackles (three solo), but it looks like he also might have suffered a shoulder injury along the way. His activity will be worth monitoring once Seattle starts holding practices to prepare for the Super Bowl.
