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.

Texas DT Byron Murphy landed with the Seahawks at the 16th spot in Round 1 of the NFL Draft. Murphy presents uncommon explosiveness and size for the position. He’s small, at 6’0.5 and 297 pounds. But Murphy also delivered 82nd-percentile or better results in the 10-yard split, 40-yard dash, vertical, and broad jump. He posted modest numbers in college, with highs of 8.5 tackles for loss and 5 sacks in his third and final college season. But the athleticism gives him upside beyond that in the pros.
