Seahawks S Julian Love (hamstring), Edge Derick Hall (foot), and Edge Boye Mafe (knee) are active for tonight's game against the 49ers. All should be ready for planned IDP usage.
The Seahawks have ruled CB Riq Woolen (ankle) and DT Byron Murphy (hamstring) out for Thursday night's game against the 49ers. Edge Uchenna Nwosu (thigh) is also out and expected to land on IR ahead of the game. Additionally, Seattle lists Edge Derick Hall (foot), Edge Boye Mafe (knee), and S Julian Love (hamstring) as questionable vs. San Francisco. Love played through the same issue in Week 5, missing just one of 71 snaps. But HC Mike Macdonald calls him a game-time decision on the short week. Macdonald said Wednesday he's "confident" Hall and Mafe will play. Each practiced in full Wednesday.
Seahawks S Julian Love (thigh) is active for today's game against the Giants, as expected. Edge Boye Mafe (knee) is inactive. It'll be his second straight game missed. Missing Mafe doesn't hurt Seattle as a team D play in a high-upside matchup, though.
Seahawks Edge Uchenna Nwosu needs season-ending surgery after tearing a pectoral muscle in Sunday's win over the Cardinals, ESPN's Adam Schefter reports. That will leave Seattle without its lead edge player. Boye Mafe and Darrell Taylor finished Sunday's game as the top two. Mafe played a season-high 79% of the snaps and notched a sack for the fourth straight game. Taylor tallied his first 1.5 sacks of the season against the Cardinals. His 59% snap share marked an uptick vs. the week before but not a season high in either share or total snaps. Mafe -- a second-round pick in 2022 -- is the much better IDP bet between them the rest of the way. We'll see what else changes up front for the Seahawks. Nwosu remains signed through 2026, with dead-cap penalties that should keep him with the team at least through 2025.
Seattle grabbed EDGE Boye Mafe with the 40th overall pick, in Round 2 of the NFL Draft. Mafe finished his 4-year Minnesota career with 7 sacks among 10 tackles for loss as a senior. He tested as a higher-upside athlete at the Combine, delivering a 97th-percentile speed score at 6'4 and 261 pounds. Landing in Seattle gives him a good shot at immediate playing time.
