Seahawks Center Jalen Sundell Suffers Knee Injury, Oluwatimi Takes Over as Seattle Awaits Timeline

Head coach Mike Macdonald says the knee will not require surgery.

Overview

  • Sundell left in the second quarter against Arizona with a knee injury and was ruled out for the remainder, the team announced.
  • Backup center Olu Oluwatimi handled snaps the rest of the way as Seattle ran for 198 yards on 46 attempts and allowed one sack in a 44–22 win.
  • Macdonald expressed early optimism on Sunday that the injury did not appear season-ending and said imaging would clarify the severity.
  • On Monday, Macdonald said Sundell does not need surgery, with details of the specific injury and return timetable still to come.
  • If Sundell misses time, Oluwatimi is the next man up as Seattle works on cadence, calls and chemistry ahead of a Week 11 trip to the Rams, potentially ending the season-long streak of the same five starters on the offensive line.
