Devon

Witherspoon

Witherspoon missed Wednesday’s practice with a foot injury but logged full sessions on Thursday and Friday. The second-year corner has had a quiet 2024 season with just one pass breakup and no picks. Seattle will need him to make a bigger impact for their Week 9 matchup with the Rams.

The Seahawks’ starting slot cornerback joins a long list of injured defenders with a foot injury. Brutal luck. Witherspoon will work to get right for a divisional showdown against the Rams on Sunday though foot injuries can be problematic.

Witherspoon has played in the Seahawks’ first two games, so a limited designation in a Wednesday practice for Week 3 is not a major concern. Just notable in case the Seahawks’ top corner indeed misses time. Safety K’Von Wallace (shoulder) missed practice, though the secondary was not nearly as depleted as the team’s front seven.

Witherspoon has missed two games because of the hip issue. The rookie corner has been excellent this year, totaling 15 pass breakups, three sacks, and an interception. Safety Jamal Adams returned to practice this week but will miss Sunday’s game as he continues to deal with a knee injury.

Adams did not play in both Weeks 15 and 16 because of the knee issue, not practicing all of last week. He returned to practice Wednesday in a limited capacity. CB Devon Witherspoon (hip) also practiced in a limited fashion as the Seahawks hope to get the secondary healthy.

This is the second straight game that Witherspoon will miss with a hip pointer and also the second straight missed game for Adams, who is battling a knee injury. Those are two big losses for the Seahawks secondary, but they benefit from playing against Ryan Tannehill and the Titans this week. However, these inactives provide a slight boost for DeAndre Hopkins.

Adams did not play in Week 15 because of the knee issue and did not practice this week. Per Pete Carroll, he is hoping to play in Week 17 and is working to make it back for the remainder of the season. Elsewhere in Seattle’s secondary, rookie corner Devon Witherspoon is listed as questionable because of a hip injury.

Witherspoon did not play in Week 15 with a hip issue and was a non-participant in Wednesday’s walkthrough. The rookie is a key piece for the Seahawks secondary and his absence will continue to hamper Seattle corners. If Witherspoon cannot go, the Titans will have an easier time passing against the Seahawks in Week 16.

After getting torched by Matthew Stafford and a cast of backup receivers in Week 1, the addition of Witherspoon should provide some much-needed help for Seattle’s secondary. The No. 6 overall pick sat out of Week 1 because of the hamstring issue but practiced in full for all three sessions this week. He and Tariq Woolen will be tasked with slowing Amon-Ra St. Brown in Week 2.

Witherspoon missed Seattle’s first game with a hamstring issue dating back to early August. The rookie corner was drafted fifth overall by the Seahawks and is now on track to play in Week 2. Witherspoon will provide a boost to a defense that allowed 119 receiving yards each to Puka Nacua and Tutu Atwell in Week 1.
