Even with Uchenna Nwosu out for all but one game, the Seahawks have received positive pass rushing contributions from their young EDGE nucleus so far.

Touchdowns have been hard to come by for the Seahawks' passing game, but a talented trio led by a surging Jaxon Smith-Njigba has remained incredibly productive.

Currently in the NFC West cellar, it may be difficult to see a path for the Seahawks to climb back into the race, but positive signs exist.

After starting the first nine games for the Seahawks, Tyrel Dodson won't be back coming out of the bye week and will need to find a new team.

Having played more snaps than any defender on the Seahawks roster this year, Tyrel Dodson's overall play apparently wasn't up to Mike Macdonald's standard.

Rolling the dice on a day three rookie, Mike Macdonald and the Seahawks will turn to Tyrice Knight as a potential answer to their defensive woes out of the bye.

The Seahawks will have DK Metcalf back on the practice field on Wednesday, but as for his status for Sunday at the 49ers, that remains to be seen.

Though rust should be expected in his first game in 11 months, the Seahawks hope Abraham Lucas will immediately reinforce their struggling offensive line.

Geno Smith has had plenty of success as a starting quarterback for the Seahawks, but unlike his predecessor, he hasn't been able to slay the 49ers yet.

While Abraham Lucas will finally return to play on Sunday, the Seahawks have lingering concerns in the interior for different reasons coming out of the bye.
