SB Nation's Seahawks Reacts survey asks fans to predict the NFC Divisional Round vs. the 49ers and whether losing would make Seattle's season a failure, noting the 14-3 record, top seed, and ongoing playoff win drought since 2019 as context for how fans weigh success this year.
Seattle held a near-full practice ahead of the divisional round with Coby Bryant and Charles Cross back in full participation after injuries, and two players designated to return from IR also involved. Tyrice Knight (shoulder) and Josh Jones (knee) did not practice. New limited participants were CB Riq Woolen and OLB DeMarcus Lawrence, while TE Elijah Arroyo practiced fully and LB Chazz Surratt was limited. The 49ers conducted a walkthrough with Ricky Pearsall limited (knee) and Trent Williams limited (hamstring); Ji’Ayir Brown (hamstring) and Luke Gifford (quadricep) did not participate. Both teams thus expect to have most core players available for the rugged matchup.
Seattle could enter the divisional round against the 49ers healthier, as Elijah Arroyo returned to practice and could be activated from injured reserve; if so, he would be the eighth IR return for Seattle, potentially opening the door for two more players, George Holani and Chazz Surratt, to come back. Cross and Bryant also might return, while Tory Horton and Cody White are not expected back this year. Seattle is balancing rest and practice ahead of the game at Lumen Field.
