Jaylen Milroe leads the Seahawks’ showcase in Green Bay, but the focus is growth, not box score glory. The plan centers on reps, mechanics, and clock-judged poise as Seattle treats this as a real audition for the QB role behind the top two. The night also tests the center debate (Sundell vs Oluwatimi) and the depth options at receiver and along the line, with the back-end of the roster fighting for a stay on the 53 or the practice squad.

Beyond Milroe, Seattle is sizing up playbook diversity, adversity handling, and how the coaching staff weaponizes Milroe’s athleticism in timely wrinkles. Veterans like Risner and Haynes anchor depth charts, while young receivers and fringe defenders press for a last-ditch case to stick. The game shapes the post-preseason roster map and Week 1 readiness more than any single stat line.

Seattle used a heated Lambeau Field session to gauge depth ahead of Week 1, with Ken Walker III handling a careful, limited workload after an up-and-down camp. The rhythm of joint practices underscored Seattle’s offensive-line questions and potential rotation, as Anthony Bradford thrived at right guard and Jaylen Sundell settled in next to Grey (unreadable) Zable on the interior. On defense, Shaquill Griffin and Devon Witherspoon showed veteran leverage and growing comfort, while Tariq Woolen’s future role remained in the mix despite limited reps in this setting. The Packers pushed back with a sturdy line and several after-snaps skirmishes, reminding everyone that the August grind often spills into the field.

Milro’s extended action in the dress rehearsal, with Drew Lock and Steven Sims Jr. watching from the sideline, was the main takeaway for Seattle’s long view at quarterback development. Olu Oluwatimi’s return to practice and Abraham Lucas’ continued health paint a cautiously optimistic picture for Week 1, while center competition and second-string looks will dominate discussions until final roster cuts. Packers' Jordan Love provided limited action due to a thumb issue, testing Seattle’s pass rush and coverage in chunks rather than sequences, as both teams prepare for a football season that’s closer than it appears.

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.
