Green Bay and Seattle opened their two-hour practice in tense fashion, with roughly a dozen skirmishes and at least one ejection as tempers flared on the field. Jordan Love stayed mostly to individual drills and 7-on-7 while rehabbing his left thumb, watching the clash unfold around him. Zach Tom, the Packers’ right tackle, was booted after exchanging blows with Ernest Jones IV and Devon Witherspoon, signaling the high-energy, competitive atmosphere that usually accompanies joint practices.

Across the field, Seattle’s offense and Green Bay’s defense tussled during 11-on-11 and 7-on-7 periods, with a Packers defender even swinging at Anthony Bradford. Post-practice tensions persisted as players traded words. Seahawks coach Mike Macdonald offered a measured take, acknowledging the reality of fights in joint sessions, while Love emphasized staying clear of any scuffles given his thumb status. Sam Darnold offered a lighthearted, playful take on the chaos, underscoring the blend of competition and camaraderie that fuels these workouts and shapes early-season narratives for fantasy planning.

Seattle hosted free agent guard Dalton Risner for a visit, a veteran with six NFL seasons who has spent time with Denver and Minnesota. His consistency is underscored by PFF grades of 60 or higher in five of six years, making him a rare, sacks- and penalties-averse option on the open market. Risner is expected to evaluate multiple suitors, with Cincinnati and Pittsburgh also in the mix, right as Seattle aims to fortify an interior line built largely on rookie deals.

If Risner lands with Seattle, he would likely slot at right guard, pushing Anthony Bradford to the second unit. Bradford flashed upside but also limitations early in his career. New OL coach John Benton has a track record working with bigger blockers, and Risner would bring immediate veteran leadership and a stabilizing presence to Seattle’s young upfront core. The move would address short-term questions while providing a high-floor option for the 2025 season, potentially lifting the team’s run game and pass protection posture.

Beyond the on-field fit, the market signals matter for fantasy. An upgrade at guard can elevate quarterback comfort, improve run blocks for Kenneth Walker, and create cleaner edges for outside zone concepts. Risner’s decision could also impact Bradford’s timeline and the development curve of Seattle’s interior line, making this a key situation to monitor for dynasty and seasonal rosters alike.

Tennessee’s Week 2 showcase highlighted Gunnar Helm and Elic Ayomanor as early Titans playmakers, delivering 95 yards on six receptions with Helm’s 25‑yard contested catch TD signaling real upside in the Titans’ passing game.

Seattle answered with a fortified interior line, as Anthony Bradford and Jalen Sundell posted 90+ PFF grades while yielding zero pressures and contributing in the run game, underscoring a cleaner pocket and better run schemes for the Seahawks as Week 2 progressed.

Seattle’s preseason showcase suggested a fortified run game for 2025, as the Seahawks rolled 268 rushing yards on a rainy Week 2 night, with 120 yards coming across two drives and 77 before contact. The starting five of Josh Jones, Grey Zabel, Jalen Sundell, Anthony Bradford and Abraham Lucas paved the way even without Charles Cross and Olu Oluwatimi, while yielding only one pressure in that stretch.

Five Seattle players logged 30+ rushing yards, signaling a deep and productive ground attack, paired with a clean 17-of-21 passing for 209 yards and two Jake Bobo scores. Bradford stood out, delivering six positive grades on 13 run blocks and remaining unscathed in 6 pass-blocking snaps, putting him on pace for elite overall grading pending final review.

The Chiefs rested several starters but still fielded a seasoned defense, and rookie Josh Simmons kept clean in pass protection. PFF’s postgame review and the early data snapshot point to Seattle’s offensive line and run scheme carrying momentum into the regular season, with Bobo expanding the aerial threat and Bradford anchoring the interior protection.

Seattle plans to roll out its starting offense for Week 2 of the preseason against Kansas City, with Sam Darnold leading a scripted set of plays for at least one or two drives. The approach signals a meaningful tune‑up for the offense ahead of the regular season, especially with Abe Lucas, Anthony Bradford, and Josh Jobe getting run in camp battles while the Raiders reference lingers from Week 1.

Kansas City, per the plan, will likely rest a chunk of its regulars, including Mahomes and Kelce, which shifts the narrative toward Seattle’s depth and growth rather than a marquee showcase. For fantasy managers, this session offers a narrow but useful window to gauge Darnold’s timing, the offensive line’s cohesion, and the feel of the scheme as Seattle moves toward Week 1 with a clearer read on who emerges as reliable Week 2 and beyond options.
