SEATTLE – The NFL has decided not to discipline Seahawks safety Jamal Adams for his actions toward an unaffiliated neurotrauma consultant in Monday night’s win over the New York Giants, a league source confirmed.

Dick Butkus, the player who perhaps best epitomized the tough and determined identity of the Chicago Bears, has died, the Tribune confirmed Thursday. He was 80.

That the relationship between quarterback Russell Wilson and teammates during his 10 years with the Seattle Seahawks could be a little fraught — if not downright frosty — may not feel like breaking news at this point. But the extent of that frostiness is even clearer as passes and those who were involved speak their mind.

SEATTLE – Seattle Seahawks quarterback Geno Smith should be OK after suffering a knee injury in Monday night’s win over the New York Giants, coach Pete Carroll said during his weekly radio show on Seattle Sports 710.

EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. – They finished the game without Jamal Adams and without a single member of their usual starting offensive line playing at his regular spot.

The lights of Broadway are only a couple miles across the river from MetLife Stadium in the Meadowlands of New Jersey, so the stage was fitting for the emergence of a young star of the highest magnitude.

From the first time the Seahawks played on a Monday night they proved more than ready for prime time.

RENTON, Wash. – Every Monday, Jason Myers says, is the same, whether he’s missed two field goals – as he did against Detroit on Sept. 17 – or tied a Seahawks record by making five, as he did Sunday against the Carolina Panthers.

Kendrick Bourne was at a crossroads. The 2022 Patriots season ended on January 8 with another loss to the Buffalo Bills. For a positive person with an upbeat personality, Bourne was unhappy. After packing his belongings and flying back to his Oregon-area home, he knew something needed to change.

Carolina QB Andy Dalton targeted Witherspoon 13 times Sunday. But unlike against the Lions, where Witherspoon gave up three catches in five targets for 64 yards and a passer rating of 143.8, according to Pro Football Focus, Witherspoon put the relative clamps on the Panthers, allowing five receptions but for just 31 yards and a passer rating of only 46.6, via PFF.

I know, I know — he doesn't play here anymore and hasn't since 2021. And yeah, the Mariners' collapse (or perhaps pending surge?) is on the minds of the most ardent Seattle sports fans now. But it's hard to look at that score — 70-20 — and not think that Russell Wilson is the sports epitome of "be careful what you wish for." 

SEATTLE – The first one came on second-and-9 midway through the second quarter, followed by another one on third down two plays later. The next one came on the first play of the ensuing Panthers possession, and the next two on their final drive of the third quarter.

SEATTLE – Finally, after they had gone a period of time without displaying these characteristics, the Seahawks won a game at home on the strength of their swag and attitude, their tough running, their hard-thumping defense, and a Lumen Field crowd that was as sonically menacing as it had been in years gone by.

As part of the Seahawks celebration of their 2013 Super Bowl champion team, Pete Carroll on Saturday asked Red Bryant – who was the defensive captain of that squad – to give a little pep talk at the end of walkthrough.

Usually when Justin Tucker attempts a field goal with the game on the line the ball goes through the uprights.

CHARLOTTE, N.C. — Andy Dalton could have a pretty big role within the Panthers’ offense Sunday when the team heads to Seattle to face the Seahawks.

RENTON, Wash. – Only two of the 46 players who saw action for the Seattle Seahawks in their Super Bowl 48 win over Denver in 2014 remain active.

RENTON, Wash. – Tre Brown appears in line to get another start at right cornerback Sunday for the Seahawks against Carolina with Riq Woolen dealing with a chest injury that held him out of practice Wednesday.

RENTON, Wash. – It’s about as big of a cliché as there can be in sports to say, “What a difference a week makes.”
