Packers and Seahawks staged a joint practice that ended with high drama, as roughly a dozen skirmishes broke out and Zach Tom was ejected after connecting with Ernest Jones IV and Devon Witherspoon. With Love sidelined by athumb injury, the Packers weathered the chaos while Seattle’s edge showed up in force. The rivalry tone intensified as Love called it one of the bigger fights he’s seen, and Sam Darnold nonchalantly invited himself into the fray. The two teams close the preseason with a Lambeau tilt, Jalen Milroe set to start for Seattle for the full game.

Fantasy takeaway centers on trenches and QB stability: Love’s thumb rehab could funnel offense toward a grind, while Seattle’s Milroe chance adds a volatile upside under center. Watch how the Packers’ O-line stabilizes and which Seahawks defenders ride the energy into Week 1 prep. The episode underlines the stakes of the final dress rehearsal and signals the kinds of notes fantasy managers should monitor—offensive line cohesion, quarterback health, and how leadership shows up in on-field chaos.

In short, the drama matters less for single-game box scores than for longer-term context: it hints at how teams will protect their quarterbacks, how rushing lanes might open up, and where fantasy upside could emerge as the season unfolds.

This offseason, the Seattle Seahawks strategically bolstered their quarterback room, led by the acquisition of Sam Darnold and Drew Lock. With four quarterbacks now on the roster, including Sam Howell and Jaren Hall, the team's general manager hinted at the potential for a fifth during the upcoming draft.

Schneider emphasized the importance of finding the right fit at quarterback, suggesting that the perceived weakness of this year's draft class may not hold true for all teams. He expressed confidence in the current quartet of quarterbacks but remains open to further enhancements.

As the draft approaches, the Seahawks hold the No. 18 overall pick along with two second-round selections (No. 50 and No. 52), positioning them ideally to continue refining their roster.

The Seattle Seahawks faced a disappointing 27-24 loss to the Minnesota Vikings, but the bigger concern may be the potential injury to running back Ken Walker III. After limping off the field during the fourth quarter, Walker was listed as doubtful for the remainder of the game, having recorded eight carries for 31 yards and eight receptions for 28 yards.

Coach Mike Macdonald confirmed Walker is dealing with an ankle issue and will undergo further tests to assess the injury's severity. This season has already been challenging for Walker, who has missed four games due to previous injuries. With a quick turnaround to their next game against the Chicago Bears, his availability remains uncertain.

If Walker cannot play, the Seahawks may rely on Zach Charbonnet, who also has health concerns, or consider roster adjustments to bring in undrafted rookie George Holani. Fortunately, the team did not report any additional significant injuries, including to quarterback Geno Smith, who managed to finish the game without issues.
