Brad McDougald – Noteworthy – Injury
S Bradley McDougald: Playing with an illness while also suffering a stinger during last week’s game, McDougald continued his All-Pro caliber campaign, finishing with six tackles and a pass defensed. With so many stars now gone, he’s led a young, inexperienced secondary by example and helped the Seahawks maintain a top-five defense.
Ed Dickson – Noteworthy
TE Ed Dickson: Playing in his first game as a Seahawk last weekend, Dickson hauled in two receptions for 54 yards, including a 12-yard touchdown. Despite playing a great game, head coach Pete Carroll did harass his new tight end about failing to make a move on his other reception, as he stated “he dropped the controller” with his inability to make a defender miss.
George Fant – Noteworthy
T George Fant: A former basketball player at Western Kentucky, Fant actually ran a couple of routes out of the slot in Seattle’s Week 8 win at Detroit. He’s been seeing extended snaps as an extra lineman, but head coach Pete Carroll admitted both he and QB Russell Wilson have thrown routes to the 322-pound lineman at practice, meaning there could be a interesting wrinkle in the playbook for an upcoming game.
Jacob Martin – Noteworthy
DE Jacob Martin: The sixth-round pick out of Temple only has three tackles all season, but head coach Pete Carroll said the athletic rookie “gives us activity” thanks to his non-stop motor and he’s gradually seen his snap totals creep up in recent weeks. He nearly got to Matthew Stafford a couple of times in Detroit and his first NFL sack could be coming in the near future.
Michael Dickson – Important
P Michael Dickson was named NFC Special Teams Player of the Week after rushing for a first down to seal Sunday’s 28-14 victory over the Detroit Lions.
Tyler Lockett – Noteworthy
WR Tyler Lockett: After signing a three-year extension in August, Lockett has responded with six touchdowns in Seattle’s first seven games. Battling all the way back from a broken ankle suffered two seasons ago, the speedy receiver is on pace to smash his previous career-highs in receptions, yardage, and touchdowns.
Jeremy Boykins – Noteworthy – Transaction
CB Jeremy Boykins was signed by the Seahawks to their practice squad Wednesday (Oct. 31). He had been waived by the Seahawks Sept. 1.
Malik Turner – Noteworthy – Transaction
WR Mailk Turner was signed by the Seahawks from their practice squad Wednesday (Oct. 31).
