Sheriff is identified as a factor in linebacker depth, expanding Seattle’s options for midweek prep and potential early-season lineups.

Sheriff’s edge-knife on the defensive front is drawing intrigue, with his pass-rush flashes and special teams value. His progress could raise the likelihood of roster versatility on defense, potentially elevating him to a higher snap share as the season unfolds.

Jamie Sheriff’s injury kept him out of the opener, spotlighting how Seattle will manage edge depth late in preseason. The All22 review suggests he could be a factor against the Chiefs in the next game, potentially earning a late roster bump if health returns and performance holds.

Jamie Sheriff, a linebacker, was a preseason favorite but did not make the Seahawks' initial 53-man roster. He was briefly picked up by the Carolina Panthers before returning to Seattle, where he played primarily on special teams in one game. Despite not seeing defensive snaps this season, the Seahawks are looking to continue his development as they signed him to a futures contract, indicating their interest in evaluating him further during the offseason.

Jamie Sheriff has been placed on the practice squad injured reserve, indicating a setback for the outside linebacker. This move opens up a spot on the practice squad, which the Seahawks have filled by signing tight end Tyler Mabry and quarterback John Rhys Plumlee.
