The Pittsburgh Steelers defeated the New York Jets 34-32 last week to start the 2025 season positively. Meanwhile, the Seattle Seahawks suffered a 17-13 defeat at the hands of the San Francisco 49ers in Week 1. This is not how the team had hoped to begin a new season after their 10-win record failed to get them a postseason spot last year.

Given the severity of the high-ankle sprain he sustained in last Sunday's loss to the 49ers, Emmanwori is not expected to feature on Sunday. The team activated veteran CB Shaquill Griffin from their practice squad on Thursday as Witherspoon's situation is still uncertain.

Defensive tackle Jarran Reed (back) also didn't practice for the Seahawks on Thursday. He was a limited participant in the first practice of the week on Wednesday.

Wide receiver Jake Bobo (concussion), linebacker Ernest Jones (shoulder), linebacker Uchenna Nwosu (knee), and wide receiver Dareke Young (hamstring), all participated in full practice on Thursday.

Offensive lineman Calvin Anderson didn't practice on Wednesday due to an illness but he was able to log a full participation on Thursday.
