Week 9 NFL Power Rankings: Seahawks slide back down after ugly performance against Bills
We probably should’ve lost, but certainly not like that.
The first half of the 2024 NFL season has been a wild one for the Seattle Seahawks. For every high, there’s been a corresponding low, which has resulted in a perfectly equilibrious 4-4 record after eight weeks. Just a week removed from a dominant road win over the Atlanta Falcons, the Seahawks were embarrassed at home by the Buffalo Bills. It has seemed recently that popular football analysts across the country have started coming to an agreement that Seattle doesn’t have a great football team, but it doesn’t have a terrible one either, falling somewhere just above the median. Many of these rankings seem to come from a place of good faith, but how is that faith holding up after an abysmal week eight performance?
If you ask ESPN, the loss really just solidifies their belief that the Seahawks are just average.
14. Seattle Seahawks (4-4)
Week 8 result:Lost to the Bills 31-10
Week 8 ranking:12
Best offseason addition:Defensive tackle Byron Murphy II
The rookie first-round pick gets the nod in the absence of any obvious Seahawks candidate. Murphy missed three games with a hamstring injury and has yet to deliver a breakout performance, but he has shown flashes of the game-wrecking talent that made him the 16th selection. In five games, Murphy has a half sack, two tackles for loss and a pressure that led to a Kirk Cousins interception in a Week 7 win over Atlanta. — Brady Henderson
The Athletic gives Seattle just a little more credit than ESPN, but the sentiment is the same.
12. Seattle Seahawks (4-4)
Last week: 10
Sunday: Lost to Buffalo Bills 31-10
Something Scary: The run defense
The Seahawks are 23rd in yards allowed before contact per rush (1.78) and 28th in yards per carry allowed (4.9). Although first-year head coach Mike Macdonald got the job based on the play of his Baltimore defense, run defense wasn’t the Ravens’ strength either. Baltimore was 25th in the league last season, giving up 4.5 yards per carry. Buffalo’s James Cook rushed for 111 yards Sunday, and the Bills had 164 overall. Seattle gained only 32 yards on the ground.
NFL.com drops Seattle from No. 14 down into the bottom half at No. 17.
Momentum from the Seahawks’ rousing win over the Falcons in Week 7 was undone by a tough performance in Sunday’s blowout loss to the Bills. There’s no shame in losing to Buffalo, even in Seattle, but the way it went down — even with DK Metcalf sidelined by injury — was disheartening. The Seahawks badly botched two red-zone possessions on offense and committed an inexcusable, drive-extending penalty to stake the Bills a 14-3 halftime lead. Had they played it right, the ‘Hawks could have gone to the locker room with a lead. Instead, they got their doors blown off, unable to get the run game going, committing a number of penalties and allowing Buffalo to put it in cruise control in the third quarter. Why is this Seattle team so hot and cold? Three wins followed by three losses and two divergent performances over the past two weeks. With three straight division games (and four in the next five), the Seahawks must iron this out quickly.
Sports Illustrated’s Conor Orr had his faith shaken, demoting the Seahawks a whopping nine spots.
19. Seattle Seahawks (4–4)
Last week’s ranking: No. 10
Last week’s result: lost to Buffalo, 31–10
This week: vs. Buffalo
The Seahawks remind me of the reverse-49ers in that, if the game is drifting away from an opportunity for their defense to be a showpiece, their plan is fatally flawed. Like the 49ers when they have to simply throw prayer darts, Seattle cannot run the finer points of its designer defense whilst getting gashed minus a run game. The inconsistencies in that phase have to be maddening for Mike Macdonald.
Frank Schwab of Yahoo! Sports seems flummoxed by the Hawks, but despite his critical take, still puts them right in the middle, at No. 17, down four spots from last week.
Everything went wrong for the Seahawks in a loss to the Bills. They didn’t look good. It’s an impossible team to figure out. It certainly doesn’t look like one that can win the NFC West.
It’s clear that The 33rd Team really wants to believe, but justifiably cannot at this time.
18. Seattle Seahawks (4-4)
Previous Ranking: 15
It’s so hard to trust the Seattle Seahawks week to week after they were dominated by the Bills at home. Seattle looked fantastic against the Falcons last week, blowing out Atlanta on the road.
This week, they weren’t competitive at all against Buffalo. The Seahawks might be the most up-and-down team in the league, and it will be hard to trust them at all moving forward.
I rag on USA Today’s Nate Davis quite a lot in this column, but he’s got the upper-hand this week.
22.Seattle Seahawks (18): So much for that supposed home-field advantage at Lumen Field, where the Seahawks have lost three in a row and put up bigger fights on their own sideline than between the lines.
Rounding out the list this week, Pete Prisco from CBS Sports has Seattle down five spots from last week to No. 17.
Buffalo mauled them in all phases Sunday. The defense has had issues all season, but the offense sputtered as well. They have lost four of five. Not good.
The word ‘mediocrity’ gets tossed around a lot, usually with a negative connotation, but it’s neither good nor bad, and it may just be the most fitting description of this team right now. There is plenty of talent and a ton of potential, but the fundamental lack of execution is keeping this team from discovering its identity. Not too different from 14 years ago.

Seahawks All-22 Film Breakdown: How the rookies played versus the Bills
The Seahawks rookies had an up-and-down day on an otherwise down performance against the Bills.
This was the Seattle Seahawks’ worst game of the year on both sides of the ball. Because of this, it also influenced the impact of the rookie class. With Nehemiah Pritchett out, the rookies’ total snaps dropped by almost half. From 209 against the Falcons, they went to 115 in the 31-10 loss to the Buffalo Bills.
Let’s take a look at how the rookies fared in Week 8, with all grades coming from PFF.
Byron Murphy II, Defensive Lineman (34 snaps)
I believe, like the entire team, this was the rookie’s worst game. He was second on the team in passing grade (behind Coby Bryant, WTH?!) with 65.7; fifth in pass rush with 60.7 (his worst grade of the year) and only one rush; and finally, seventh in run defense with 58.8 and 3 stops.
Murphy managed to force a hold from the Bills’ OL, and made some good plays in the running game. Still, even though he was one of the best in terms of grade, he was moved around quite often to combat the runs. This is something he will need to improve on in the future.
He is double-teamed by RG and RT and is unable to defend his space.
He is quickly repelled in the first moment in the double-team and opens the lane for the running game.
Christian Haynes, Offensive Guard (11 snaps)
Only played two drives. He was the fifth-worst in run blocking with 50.3 and the worst in pass blocking with 12, giving up one pressure (1 rush) and making a holding after being overpowered by the IDL.
He is overpowered right off the snap by DaQuan Jones using a hump move. With the path open to Geno, Haynes commits the holding.
The Bills wisely call a stunt on the two rookies’ side. They get lost in the protection and have a clear path to the QB, Geno runs to his own endzone (risking a safety) but manages to escape.
Tyrice Knight, Linebacker (0 snaps)
If there is one loser from the Ernest Jones trade, it is the UTEP rookie. He had no chance with Jerome Baker on the roster, and now with Jones, the earliest he should see snaps again is 2025. Too bad, I was enjoying his development.
AJ Barner, Tight End (19 snaps)
Received the highest offensive grade on the team with 85.5. He had 2 receptions for 34 yards and 2 first downs in the process. He struggled a lot, as did the entire OL, in the red zone, but he was still fourth on the team in run blocking with 65.3.
The Bills were already in garbage time, so they weren’t marking as hard. He passes the LB and once realizes he’s open, turns to the QB and makes the catch.
Barner is first on the block and run a delayed route. He watches the LB’s movement in order to know his movement and find space for the reception. He doesn’t shy away from contact and makes the tackle difficult for defenders.
Nehemiah Pritchett, Cornerback (0 snaps)
Injured, he sat out and watched Josh Jobe on the field, threatening his future snaps.
Mike Jerrell, Right Tackle (51 snaps)
His grades were not good. He received 47.5 and 43.9 in run block and pass block, respectively. He was the leader in pressures given up, with 4, and he committed a foul for misalignment. The 4 pressures translated into 1 sack, 1 hit and 2 hurries.
It wasn’t a disastrous game. What could you ask for from a Division II college rookie, drafted in the sixth round, when all your veterans disappoint?
Jerrell’s assignment would be to go to the second level to block Dorian Williams (No. 42), but he is unable to maintain the block and prevents the RB from reaching the endzone.
Geno was focused on passing the ball to JSN. However, the QB feels the pressure that quickly arrives on the right side and goes for the checkdown. It ends up being a good advance thanks to Ken Walker’s magic.
Dee Williams, Special Teamer (only special team snaps)
I’m outraged that as I write this article, Dee Williams is still a Seahawk. It just shows how apathetic our front office is. Serious situations require strong measures, whether it’s benching a longtime starter or cutting a solid player. If the team doesn’t have the guts to cut a UDFA who has already cost two turnovers and a dozen more mistakes in return, what else can you expect?
Final Thoughts
I’m always in favor of giving rookies as many chances as possible. However, how beneficial would it be for them to be thrown into situations like this? In fact, I’m starting to worry about the future impact of this class. Haynes doesn’t even get a dozen snaps, Pritchett hasn’t shown any reason to trust him in the future, and Knight probably won’t play in 2024 unless one of the starters gets injured.
The Seahawks have been a mess across the board. That, in turn, impacts the development of the rookies.

Geno Smith is getting blitzed less, and the Seahawks offense is struggling more
Ryan Grubb has a big problem on his hands if the Seahawks cannot beat standard four man rushes.
The Seattle Seahawks have a hidden issue on offense that’s related to the offensive line, but not exclusively.
Remember how heavily Geno Smith would get blitzed at the start of the season? Vance Joseph’s Denver Broncos defense blitzed Geno on half of his dropbacks, and other than the bad start to the game, Smith generally handled it well. Smith shredded the New England Patriots, who blitzed him more than 35% of his dropbacks.
Well the blitzing has steadily dropped, and with it, the Seahawks passing offense has not been as effective.
Over the last four games, Geno Smith has been blitzed significantly less than in the first four games. The New York Giants sacked Smith seven times, but the other three teams only managed one sack. Outside of the Giants game, Smith is getting sacked less, he’s getting more time to throw—three of the four games in question doubled as his longest average TtT—and the passing offense has gotten worse.
Geno Smith’s EPA/play (via Rbsdm.com)
Weeks 1-4: 11th
Weeks 5-8: 22ndInterestingly enough, Geno has a slightly higher EPA/play this season when blitzed vs. not blitzed, which is the opposite of his previous two full seasons as a Seahawks starter and the three games and fourth quarter he played in 2021. I don’t think Smith suddenly forgot how to play football against a standard four-man rush.
This is what I wrote on my personal social media account after the Lions game:
Geno Smith has been blitzed at the 6th highest rate this season among all QBs who’ve started every game (per @NextGenStats).
37/53 for 444 yards, 3 TDs, 2 INTs. One of the few QBs with a positive EPA/dropback.
And then again after the 49ers and Giants losses:
The 49ers only blitzed Geno Smith five times out of 50+ dropbacks.
The Giants only blitzed about 22% of the time the week prior.
Think the book might be out on this passing offense.
But then the Bills game happened, sans DK Metcalf, and I think we’ve got a real problem on our hands.
Geno Smith's 3.9 air yards/attempt against the Bills was his 2nd lowest as a Seahawks starter.
— Field Gulls (@FieldGulls) October 28, 2024
Buffalo only blitzed Smith 18% of the time and this was his lowest pressure rate of the season.
He had time. There weren't many open receivers.Smith has gone from one of the most blitzed QBs to one of the least. The Seahawks passing game is languishing, and they haven’t been a good running team regardless of whether they’re facing blitz-heavy defenses or not.
As I see it, there are two issues with the Seahawks passing offense, independent of the running game struggles:
- The offensive line already can’t deal with four-man pressures very well. Smith is pressured at a slightly above-average rate when not blitzed, and above-average when blitzed. This is not a good pass-blocking unit and unless you have a dismal pass rush like Atlanta, you’ll take your chances that you can win with four and drop the rest into coverage. In the case of the Giants, Dexter Lawrence is a one-man interior blitz.
- The Seahawks do not have enough players who can stretch the field vertically. Seattle’s offense has become steadily less explosive throughout the Geno Smith era. They’re below-average in explosive runs right now after being above-average two seasons ago and middling last season. They’re below-average in explosive play rate right now and their passing is heavily DK Metcalf aided. Ryan Grubb’s UW offense had three vertical threats at all times, the Seahawks have one. Against the Bills, they basically had zero. Jaxon Smith-Njigba was never a big field-stretcher in college and Tyler Lockett has lost enough of a step to where he is not remotely the downfield threat that he was even two or three seasons ago. That means opposing defenses are willing to drop into coverage and they know that Metcalf is the only vertical threat to worry about. It’s like an NBA team that has no three-point shooting on the floor so the defense just packs the paint knowing they don’t have to guard from beyond the free throw line. The Bills were sitting on short routes all game for a reason, and there is not enough speed at wide receiver (except DK) to create downfield separation. It’s fundamentally harder to move the ball on offense when you don’t have a lot of explosive pass play threats and your o-line doesn’t pass protect well enough to generate those types of opportunities.
I think there are a lot more interconnected roster flaws than we want to admit with regards to this offense, but the onus is ultimately on Grubb to adjust to the situation. You can’t run the same offense regardless of opposition tendencies, which is what it feels like the Seahawks are doing. In a rare moment of insight, Tom Brady criticized the Seahawks offense on the FOX broadcast.
Tom Brady on the #Seahawks offense:
— Under Zone X (Frisco)/Phoenix Check/Stick Slasher2 (@mattyfbrown) October 27, 2024
"That's the problem with being in the shotgun and allowing them to tee off all day, just bad football from the Seahawks" https://t.co/W5jkLJoKj7Time is running out to “make it right” and at least get the passing game back on the right track.

This Week in Seahawks History: 1984 defense sets NFL interception records
Are you ready for a weekly blast from the Seahawks teams of the past?
This will be a weekly article series throughout the season looking back on what happened for the Seattle Seahawks 40, 30, 20, and 10 years ago this week.
As I mentioned last week, we’ve got 5 games this time with 2 coming in 1984. And hot damn are they fun to revisit! Let’s waste no time getting to them.
40 Years Ago
Monday, October 29, 1984
A primetime shutout of a division rival on the road? Heck yeah!
This will be a shorter recap but that doesn’t mean we can’t enjoy it! Besides a 42-yard FG from Norm Johnson in the 2nd Quarter, each score came courtesy of the arm of Dave Krieg and hands of Steve Largent. That pair connected for TDs in each of the first three quarters of the game. There was an 11-yarder in the 1st Quarter, a 13-yarder in the 2nd Quarter, and a 16-yarder in the 3rd Quarter to end the scoring on the day and give Seattle the 24-0 shutout over the San Diego Chargers and the season sweep.
Dave Krieg was 23/29 for 282 yards, 3 TD, 1 INT. David Hughes was the leading rusher with 10 carries for 36 yards. Daryl Turner paced Seattle with 92 receiving yards on 6 catches. Steve Largent made the most of his 4 receptions, gaining 51 yards and snatching all 3 TDs.
Kenny Easley matched Largent on the other side of the ball as he had 3 INTs! He picked off Dan Fouts twice and reeled in another from RB Lionel James, who ended his NFL career 0/2 with 0 TD, 1 INT, and 1 sack taken on passing attempts. The Seahawks defense also racked up 7 (!!!!!!!)sacks. Jacob Green had 2.0 sacks while Mike Fanning, Paul Moyer, Joe Nash, and Fredd Young each had 1.0 sack a piece.
Sunday, November 4, 1984
Two shutouts of division rivals in back-to-back games? Is this real life??
You bet your bottom dollar it is, and the Kansas City Chiefs were on the beatdown end of the stick! The Seahawks defense was on one in this game as you’ll soon see.
The game started off a little slow, ironically, with Norm Johnson’s 29-yard FG making up the only score of the 1st Quarter as Seattle took the 3-0 lead. Then, the floodgates opened.
Dave Brown had a 90-yard INT return for a TD to put the Seahawks up 10-0. Next, it was Keith Simpson’s turn with a 76-yard INT return for a TD to open up a 17-0 lead. Seattle’s offense got in on the action with 2 Dave Krieg TDs to go up 31-0 before halftime. The first was an 11-yarder to Dan Doornink and the second was a 2-yard pass to Mike Tice.
The Seahawks defense wasn’t done taking it to the Chiefs. Dave Brown had his 2nd INT returned for a TD in the 3rd Quarter, but this one was only56 yards to put Seattle up 38-0. Kenny Easley felt a little left out, so he picked off a pass in the 4th Quarter and took it 58 yards to the house for Seattle’s 4th INT return TDof the game, giving them the 45-0 win in an absolute shellacking of Kansas City.
In case you’re wondering, yes this is the NFL record for the most interceptions returned for a touchdown by a single team in a single game. There are three other NFL records from this game as well. Seattle set the most yards returning interceptions in a single game for a single team at 325 yards. The records for total number of interceptions returned for a touchdown in a single game between both teams and the most yards returning interceptions by both teams were also set in this game. Now, that’s some history!
Dave Krieg was 12/20 for 138 yards, 2 TD, 1 INT. Zachary Dixon had 9 carries for 54 yards. Daryl Turner had 3 catches for 37 yards. Dan Doornink was right behind him with 36 yards and 1 TD on 3 catches.
We already know about the 4 INTs returned for TDs, but the Seahawks actually collected 6 (!!!!!!)total INTs on the day. Dave Brown and Terry Taylor had 2 INT each while Kenny Easley, Keith Simpson, Jeff Bryant, and Joe Nash all had 1 INT. As mentioned before, Brown had 2 TD with Easley and Simpson getting 1 TD each. For a little more info, KC had 3 different QBs throw an INT in this game. Bill Kenny threw 2 INT, Todd Blackledge had 3 INT, and Sandy Osiecki was responsible for the final 1 INT. Jeff Bryant and Joe Nash both picked up 1.0 sack.
30 Years Ago
Sunday, October 30, 1994
Well, we had our fun in 1984 so here comes the 1994 team to spoil the party.
The Seahawks got on the board first after a scoreless opening frame on a 9-yard rushing TD by Chris Warren. After that, the Chargers scored 35 unanswered points. John Carney got them started with 2nd Quarter FGs of 25 and 39 yards. Ronnie Harmon added a 15-yard rushing TD and caught the 2-point conversion to give SD the 14-7 lead at halftime.
Natrone Means scored the only points of the 3rd Quarter on a 5-yard run to put the Chargers up 21-7. Alfred Pupunu (a personal TecmoSuper Bowlfavorite) caught an 8-yard passing TD from Gale Gilbert in the 4th Quarter to extend the SD lead to 28-7. Gilbert also threw a 16-yard TD pass to Tony Martin to open the gap even wider at 35-7. Jon Vaughn had a 93-yard kickoff return for the Seahawks and they converted the 2-point try to end the scoring in the 35-15 loss.
Rick Mirer was 15/30 for 177 yards, 0 TD, 0 INT. Chris Warren had 17 carries for 92 yards and 1 TD. Brian Blades had 6 catches for 89 yards.
Carlton Gray had 1 INT. Bob Spitulski and Terry Wooden each had 1.0 sack in the blowout loss.

Hey, it’s a rare Halloween game. I bet there were some pretty sweet costumes in Qwest Field. Looking at the record for the Carolina Panthers, it’s difficult to imagine they would have another game in Seattle in the following season that would have a whole lot more on the line. But that’s a game for next year’s set of history articles!
Shaun Alexander scored on a 3-yard pass from Matt Hasselbeck to put Seattle up 7-0 in the 1st Quarter. He added a TD on the ground from 4 yards out in the 2nd Quarter to extend the lead to 14-0. Jake Delhomme threw a 15-yard TD pass to Muhsin Muhammad in the 2nd Quarter to give us the halftime score of 14-7.
Old friend John Kasay kicked a 30-yard FG for Carolina in the 3rd Quarter to cut the Seattle lead to 14-10. Then, the Seahawks scored 9 consecutive points off the leg of Josh Brown with FGs of 27, 45, and 22 yards for the 23-10 lead. Delhomme connected with Muhammad again on a 7-yard TD pass with 1:39 left in the game to pull the Panthers within a score at 23-17. Spooky! The onside kick try was recovered by the Seahawks and there would be no rising from the dead for Carolina in this Halloween game!
Matt Hasselbeck was 21/30 for 301 yards, 1 TD, 1 INT. Shaun Alexander went crazy with 32 carries for 195 yards and 1 TD on the ground. He added 3 catches for 13 yards and 1 TD through the air. Darrell Jackson had 6 catches for 71 yards.
Marcus Trufant had 1 INT in the victory.

We’ve got appearances by the Chargers, Chiefs, and Oakland Raiders this week. All that’s missing is the Denver Broncos! The winless Raiders came to CenturyLink Field and put up a bigger fight than everyone expected.
Future Seahawks Legend Sebastian Janikowski got the scoring started for Oakland with a 48-yard FG in the 1st Quarter. Future Raiders Legend Marshawn Lynch gave Seattle the lead at 7-3 with a 3-yard rushing TD. Bruce Irvin picked off Derek Carr on the next drive and returned it 35 yards for the defensive TD and the 14-3 lead. Stephen Hauschka was true from 34 yards out in the 2nd Quarter to put Seattle ahead 17-3. Beast Mode scored his 2nd TD of the day on a 5-yard run just prior to the break to give the Seahawks a comfortable 24-3 lead at the half.
Then, the 3rd Quarter happened.
Brice Butler recovered a blocked Jon Ryan punt in the end zone for a Raiders special teams score to cut into that lead a bit at 24-10. Near the end of the 3rd Quarter, Mychal Rivera caught a 1-yard TD pass from Derek Carr to pull the Raiders within a score at 24-17. Thankfully, Hausch Money nailed 2 4th Quarter FGs from 30 and 40 yards to put Seattle up 30-17. Carr and Rivera connected for another 1-yard TD pass with 1:52 left in the game and the Raiders were within striking distance again at 30-24. Just like the 2004 game, the Seahawks recovered the onside kick and entered the victory formation.
Russell Wilson was 17/35 for 179 yards, 0 TD, 0 INT. Marshawn Lynch had 21 carries for 67 yards and 2 TD. Beast Mode was also the leading receiver with 5 catches for 76 yards.
Richard Sherman and Bruce Irvin both had 1 INT with Bruuuuuuce taking it to the house for a TD. Cliff Avril added 1.0 sack.

Pre-Snap Reads 10/29: The Seahawks have some work to do
Read!
Some good things have happened for our team, some bad. The nature of any squad that sits at .500 for the season will inherently live in multiple worlds. In one sense, our Seattle Seahawks have accomplished some interesting and productive things. In another sense, the ‘Hawks have continued to display a total lack of competency when it comes to fundamentals like run fits on the defensive side of the pigskin (amongst other issues). Each day is an opportunity for our team to either get better, or stay the same (which means getting worse). Which path will they collectively choose?

Giants vs Steelers Monday Night Football open thread
Russell Wilson takes the field in his second Steelers start, while the Daniel Jones era inexplicably continues for New York.
It’s time for Monday Night Football to wrap up Week 8, and this week it is the New York Giants traveling west a couple hundred miles to take on the Pittsburgh Steelers.
Pittsburgh comes into the game 5-2, needing a win to stay ahead of the Baltimore Ravens in the AFC North, while the Giants are guaranteed another week in the cellar of the NFC East, as even a win is not enough to pull them even with the Dallas Cowboys.
The Russell Wilson led Steelers come into the game as 5.5 point favorites with the over/under sitting at 36.5 at FanDuel Sportsbook. That is not a lot of scoring expected, which makes sense given the ineptitude of the New York offense so far this season. The Giants have scored 20 or more points just twice on the season, including just 10 points in the last two games combined since putting 29 on the board against the Seattle Seahawks in Week 5.
For the Steelers it’s the second game of the Wilson era, so for those interested in potentially seeing Wilson and Mike Tomlin potentially earn themselves another Super Bowl ring riding a strong defense, this is a chance to see the duo show what they can do in primetime.
Long story short, the Steelers are going to win this game and should cover the spread against an inept Giants offense that will be battling a defense that is second best in the NFL in terms of points allowed. Take the Steelers to cover and bet the under because neither team is likely to put a lot of points on the board.
Fans can tune in on ESPN or ABC at 8:15 ET/5:15 PT. Alternatively the game can be streamed on ESPN+.

A Tre Brown vs. Josh Jobe cornerback competition could be brewing
Josh Jobe took Brown’s reps on Sunday... and potentially for beyond?
Seattle Seahawks cornerback Tre Brown was listed as active for the team’s Week 8 loss to the Buffalo Bills, but he still didn’t play any snaps.
Brown, who missed Seattle’s win over the Atlanta Falcons with an ankle injury, was listed as questionablefor the Bills game. He didn’t practice on Wednesday or Thursday, but was a full participant on Friday.
Why didn’t Brown play? Coach Mike Macdonald has the answer.
“Tre was ready to go, but he hadn’t practiced as much, so we’re gonna work through who’s starting at corner moving forward here. But we should have Tre (available next week),” Macdonald said on Seattle Sports on Monday.
With rookie Nehemiah Pritchett out due to his own injury, practice squad cornerback Josh Jobe was Brown’s replacement. Jobe recorded his first career interception, becoming the first player to pick Josh Allen off this season. He also gave up three catches (on five targets) for 81 yards, committing a holding penalty in the process. Still, Jobe has generally had good moments in two games, and now there’s a real story developing.
At Monday’s press conference, Macdonald revealed that Brown’s starting spot is no longer set in stone.
Macdonald said with Tre Brown back, there will be a competition for that spot. Josh Jobe has played in Brown's place the past two games.
— John Boyle (@johnpboyle) October 28, 2024Jobe only has one practice squad elevation left before he must be signed to the active roster, so this indicates that Jobe could be on the 53-man roster sooner rather than later. Brown didn’t play particularly well against the New York Giants, and in a contract year he hasn’t been at his best.
With the Seahawks desperate for answers on defense, we could see some (more) shake-ups to the lineup coming soon.

Seahawks waive college teammate of Gary Jennings Jr off injured reserve
Most fans were likely unaware that Marcus Simms was on injured reserve for the Seahawks, but now that he has been waived it will free up a tiny bit of cap space.
Sunday the Seattle Seahawks struggled to move the ball against the top tier defense of the Buffalo Bills. There was little room to be found on the ground, and with deep threat DK Metcalf unavailable due to a grade one MCL sprain, there weren’t a lot of open options for Geno Smith through the air.
On Monday the Seahawks made a move regarding a speedy receiver, but it was not a move to add that receiver to the roster.
The @Seahawks waived WR Marcus Simms from injured reserve this afternoon.
— Seahawks PR (@seahawksPR) October 28, 2024Fans will be forgiven for not recognizing the name Marcus Simms, as he was signed by the Seahawks as training camp opened in late July, and barely two weeks later landed on injured reserve. The college teammate of Gary Jennings Jr. at West Virginia shined as a deep threat with the Michigan Panthers of the UFL, hauling in 23 passes for 426 yards and three touchdowns.
However, Simms has not been able to remain healthy in the NFL, landing on injured reserve with a concussion with the Jacksonville Jaguars during training camp as an undrafted free agent rookie in 2019 before again landing on injured reserve with Seattle this summer.
The move frees up a little over $260k in cap space for the Seahawks, as the team will no longer be required to pay Simms once he is officially no longer a member of the roster.

That said, it could still take some effort to search for good deals offering an NFL live stream suited to a particular budget and might entail using a mobile app over a streaming broadcast for a wide screen television set.
