Tyrese Knight's knee issue dominates Seahawks news, forcing a look at behind him at inside linebacker. Drake Thomas and Patrick O’Connell figure to absorb extra reps, with Jamie Sheriff and Josh Ross also in the mix as depth pieces. The offense remains run-first under Clint Kubak, and the preseason showing has fans buzzing, but the team stresses that one game isn’t the season. Olu Oluwatimi and Jalen Sundell headline a center battle that could ripple into the line’s performance if Olu’s back flares again. The Seahawks’ media chatter highlights a growing depth conversation that fantasy players will want to monitor as week one approaches.

Center depth and interior protection sit at the center of the chatter, with Olu Oluwatimi dealing with a back flare while Sundell has flashed at times, aided by North Dakota State ties. Abe Lucas has impressed at left tackle, giving Seattle a steadier platform to run behind. If Sundell stays in the mix, Sundell’s pairing with Zable in practice and the offensive line’s communication could shape who starts Week 1. The organization notes that two or three centers may be needed for the preseason, signaling a rotating approach that could affect snaps and continuity for Week 1.

On the injury front, Tyrese Knight’s multi-week absence reshapes the Seahawks’ front-seven planning. Drake Thomas emerges as a clear candidate for early-season heavy reps, with Okonnell and Sheriff providing a safety net. The team also teases a potential uptick in three-safety or big nickel looks if injuries press, which could alter fantasy lines for linebackers and defensive backs. The Niners are dealing with depth issues of their own, making week one feel more winnable for Seattle depending on who is available.

Off the field, the pod nudges fans to stay engaged with polls and extra content, underscoring how much early sentiment around Kubak and the OL matters to fantasy projections. The crew also links to breakdown content from Gray Zable and other creators, emphasizing how film work can translate into sharper waiver picks and deeper weekly setups.
