Seahawks' Riq Woolen: Good to go for divisional round
Woolen (oblique) does not carry an injury designation into Saturday's NFC divisional-round game against the 49ers, Brady Henderson of ESPN.com reports.
Woolen was limited in the first two practices of the week due to an oblique issue, but he faded an injury designation for Saturday's game after logging a full practice Thursday. The fourth-year pro ended the 2025 regular season with 41 tackles (33 solo) and 12 pass defenses (one interception) across 16 games.

Seahawks' Riq Woolen: Dealing with oblique issue
Woolen (oblique) was a limited participant in Tuesday's practice, John Boyle of the Seahawks' official site reports.
The Seahawks were on a bye for the NFC wild-card round, so Woolen may have picked up the injury against the 49ers in Week 18, when he logged two tackles (one solo) and one pass defense. The fourth-year pro will have two more opportunities to increase his practice participation ahead of Saturday's divisional-round clash against San Francisco.

Seahawks' Riq Woolen: Absent from injury report
Woolen (knee) was not listed on Wednesday's practice report, Michael-Shawn Dugar of The Athletic reports.
Woolen injured his knee during the Seahawks' Week 16 overtime win over the Rams. He received an MRI on the knee Friday, but his absence from Wednesday's injury report indicates that he was a full practice participant and on track to play against the Panthers on Sunday. Woolen has accumulated 18 tackles (13 solo) and eight pass defenses (one interception) across the eight games since Seattle's Week 8 bye.

Seahawks' Riq Woolen: Getting MRI on knee
Woolen (knee) and safety Coby Bryant (knee) are getting MRIs on Friday, Curtis Crabtree of Fox 13 Seattle reports.
The Seahawks won Thursday's matchup against the Rams but lost two starting defensive backs along the way. Seahawks coach Mike Macdonald didn't have an update Friday morning apart from saying that Woolen, Bryant and unnamed others are scheduled for MRIs.

Seahawks' Riq Woolen: Exits Thursday due to knee injury
Woolen is questionable to return to Thursday's Week 16 matchup against the Rams due to a knee issue.
Woolen is one of three Seattle defensive backs who have exited the contest -- Nick Emmanwori is being evaluated for a concussion, and Coby Bryant has been ruled out due to a knee injury. Josh Jobe, Nehemiah Pritchett and Ty Okada are consequently all in the game, which has gone to overtime.

Seahawks' Riq Woolen: First INT of 2025
Woolen recorded two solo tackles and an interception in Sunday's 26-0 win over the Vikings.
Woolen hasn't posted more than three tackles in a game since Week 3, and this was his first interception of the season. His snap counts have been slipping lately, too, as he has played less than 75 percent of the defensive snaps in each of the last three games. The fourth-year cornerback will be difficult to trust in fantasy moving forward.

Seahawks' Riq Woolen: Good to go against Houston
Woolen (concussion) does not carry an injury designation into Monday's game against the Texans, Bob Condotta of The Seattle Times reports.
Woolen registered an FP-LP-FP practice log this past week, and his lack of an injury tag indicates that he has cleared the league's five-step concussion protocol heading into Monday's game. His return will mean less snaps in the secondary for Nehemiah Pritchett and Derion Kendrick.

Seahawks' Riq Woolen: Downgrades to limited participation
Woolen (concussion) was a limited participant at practice Friday, Michael-Shawn Dugar of The Athletic reports.
Woolen was a full participant at practice Thursday, so it's not a great sign that he only managed a limited session Friday. Unless he's able to get back to practicing in full Saturday, he'll likely be given an injury designation for Monday's game versus the Texans. Then, even if he does take that step forward, he'll still need to clear the league's concussion protocol before getting the green light to play.

Seahawks' Riq Woolen: Full participant Thursday
Woolen (concussion) was a full participant in practice Thursday, John Boyle of the Seahawks' official site reports.
The cornerback missed Seattle's Week 6 win over Jacksonville after suffering the concussion during the team's Week 5 loss to Tampa Bay. While Woolen appears on track to play this week, he'll still need to clear the league's concussion protocol before Monday's matchup with the Texans. The fourth-year pro played on more than 90 percent of the defensive snaps in each of Seattle's first four games of 2025.

Seahawks' Riq Woolen: Won't play vs Jaguars
Woolen (concussion) has been ruled out for Seattle's game versus Jacksonville on Sunday, John Boyle of the team's official site reports.
Woolen will miss his first game of the season after suffering a concussion in the Week 5 loss to Tampa Bay. The 26-year-old will have to clear the league's concussion protocol before he's eligible to return to the field. The Seahawks could be without three of their top defensive backs for Sunday's matchup, as Devon Witherspoon (knee) and Julian Love (hamstring) are both listed as doubtful.

Seahawks' Riq Woolen: Still limited
Woolen (concussion) is doubtful for Sunday's game against the Jaguars, Bob Condotta of The Seattle Times reports.
Woolen suffered a concussion during Seattle's Week 5 win. He's turned in three limited practices but likely hasn't passed the league's protocols yet. If he can't play in Week 6, a Week 7 return looks likely.

Seahawks' Riq Woolen: Remains limited Thursday
Woolen (concussion) was a limited participant at practice Thursday, Gregg Bell of The Tacoma News Tribune reports.
Woolen has now logged back-to-back limited practices to open the week after suffering a concussion in the team's Week 5 loss to the Buccaneers. The cornerback remains in concussion protocol, and he'll have one more chance to log a full practice before Sunday's matchup with Jacksonville.

Seahawks' Riq Woolen: Takes field Wednesday
Woolen (concussion) turned in a limited practice Wednesday, Bob Condotta of The Seattle Times reports.
Woolen suffered a concussion in Sunday's loss to Tampa Bay, so any involvement in practice is positive. Per Michael-Shawn Dugar of The Athletic, Woolen was seen stretching during the portion of practice open to the media, though it's unclear what else he was able to do. Even if Woolen can upgrade to a full practice session, he'll need to clear the league's concussion protocol in order to be active in Week 6 against the Jaguars.

Seahawks' Riq Woolen: In concussion protocol
Woolen is in concussion protocol but working through it quickly, Michael-Shawn Dugar of The Athletic reports.
Woolen suffered a concussion in Sunday's 38-35 loss to the Buccaneers, but head coach Mike McDonald is "hopeful" that the cornerback will be able to practice in some capacity Wednesday. Woolen will have three chances to practice this week prior to the team's Week 6 matchup with the Jaguars.

Seahawks' Riq Woolen: Ruled out Sunday
Woolen (concussion) has been ruled out for the remainder of Seattle's matchup Sunday versus the Buccaneers.
Woolen suffered the head injury in the third quarter and will now have to clear the league's concussion protocol before he can play in another game. Derion Kendrick should take over as the team's slot cornerback with Woolen out.

Seahawks' Riq Woolen: Being evaluated for concussion
Woolen (head) is being evaluated for a concussion and is questionable to return to Sunday's game against the Buccaneers.
Woolen appeared to suffer the injury in the third quarter, and he has gone back to the locker room to undergo tests to determine whether he can return to Sunday's game. With Devon Witherspoon (knee) inactive, Nehemiah Pritchett is in line to see more snaps on defense for as long as Woolen is out of the game.
