Entering Sunday’s road tilt as heavy favorites against the one-win Titans, the Seahawks should have several advantageous matchups working in their favor, though the underdogs may have a big one to lean on with the visitors dealing with offensive line injuries.

Only four days ago, Grey Zabel’s rookie season looked to be in jeopardy as he clutched his knee on the SoFI Stadium turf. But after returning to practice on Thursday, the Seahawks will have some intriguing discussions coming leading up to Sunday’s trip to Nashville.

It remains how many games, if any, Grey Zabel will need to miss after being helped off the field late in the Seahawks’ 21-19 loss to the Rams on Sunday. But initial testing suggests the team and player may have dodged a bullet.

Named a captain alongside current - and former - teammate Cooper Kupp, Ernest Jones will be in uniform for the Seahawks heading into a massive NFC West matchup with the Rams. Who’s in and who’s out at SoFi Stadium for Mike Macdonald’s team?

For the first time this season, the Seahawks will have to navigate a significant injury along the offensive line, while it remains unclear whether Ernest Jones and other injured players will return for a crucial contest against the Rams on Sunday.

From Sam Darnold to Cooper Kupp to Eric Saubert, the Seahawks have several players already making an impact on their roster with past ties to Klint Kubiak’s Shanahan-style scheme. Could another former pupil be the right piece to take the offensive line to the next level?

There will be no shortage of difficult decisions for John Schneider and the rest of the Seahawks’ brass to make in the next 48 hours and beyond, making the process of finalizing the 53-man roster a fascinating one to watch.

Trying to move players via trade in late August can be quite tricky with the rest of the league aiming to cut their own rosters down from 90 to 53. But the Seahawks could have a few assets that generate interest from other teams.

Even in a preseason setting, the Seahawks have showcased several staples in Klint Kubiak’s run game, using a variety of schemes to rush for almost 270 yards against the Chiefs on Friday night.

In a back-and-forth practice where the Seahawks’ defense started fast and the offense finished strong, Jalen Milroe kept rolling with his new favorite target and answers regarding offensive line competitions continue to slowly emerge.

Though the Seahawks weren’t on the practice field quite as long as usual on Saturday, the intensity ramped up, particularly in 11-on-11 drills with Sam Darnold and the quarterbacks executing quite well on decisive fourth downs.

All eyes will be on the Seahawks latest draft class as they make their NFL debuts in Thursday’s preseason opener against the Raiders, but they aren’t the only ones to watch closely in the first game action of the season at Lumen Field.

Already with 10 practices in the books, several starting jobs and roster spots remain up for grabs as the Seahawks prepare for their first preseason game. Who would be on the final roster if those decisions were made today?

Seeking a downfield threat to help replace DK Metcalf and Tyler Lockett, the Seahawks may have found a possible solution in ascending rookie Tory Horton, who became the latest member of the 2025 draft class to shine in his first training camp.

Bringing back the pads after an easy Wednesday, the Seahawks got after it with a physical, highlight-filled practice with big plays on offense and defense, though miscues from the pivot position put a damper on the session overall.

Not starting a single game as a rookie, Christian Haynes battled through a difficult rookie season with the Seahawks. Will a potential position switch coupled with a new coaching staff bring out his best in year two?

Two of the top young players on the Seahawks defense, veterans aren’t being secretive about their expectations for Byron Murphy II and Derick Hall, while the receiving corps may have fewer spots up for grabs than anticipated in the early stages of training camp.

Winds of change blew through Seattle this offseason with the Seahawks changing quarterbacks and offensive coordinators among other moves, leaving no shortage of questions regarding what to expect from the unit this upcoming season.

Six weeks away from training camp, the Seahawks have several ongoing competitions left to play out when they return to the field. Who will win starting jobs and roster spots up for grabs in August and September?

Only so much can be learned about an NFL team in non-padded practices, but that doesn’t mean some questions about the Seahawks weren’t answered over the past three weeks during OTAs and mandatory minicamp, including having a ways to go for the offense to level up to the defense.
