Overview
- On December 6, Seattle returned Pro Bowl safety Julian Love and defensive tackle Jarran Reed from injured reserve, making both active for today’s game at Atlanta.
- Love had missed nine of the past 10 games with a hamstring injury, while Reed sat the last four following a second surgery on his right hand.
- The returns bring Mike Macdonald’s defense near full strength as the 9-3 Seahawks chase NFC positioning with a unit ranked third in scoring and top-four in rush defense and sacks.
- To set the roster, Seattle earlier waived running back Myles Gaskin and defensive tackle Quinton Bohanna; Gaskin rejoined on the practice squad and Bohanna was claimed by the Packers.
- The Seahawks also elevated returner Velus Jones Jr. from the practice squad for game-day depth at Mercedes-Benz Stadium.
