Seahawks Open Jalen Sundell’s Practice Window as Return Nears

Mike Macdonald says the center will practice this week with his position to be decided in evaluations.

Overview

  • Seattle will begin Sundell’s 21-day return-to-play window after a Week 9 knee injury and a four-game IR stint, making him eligible in Week 15.
  • Macdonald declined to lock in Sundell’s role, indicating the staff will assess center versus guard alignments during practice.
  • Olu Oluwatimi has handled center during Sundell’s absence, earning praise for the run game while outside reporting has noted pass-protection lapses.
  • Combinations under review include Sundell reclaiming center, competing at guard, or a rotating “best five” based on weekly performance.
  • The 10-3 Seahawks have allowed 17 sacks and rank second in scoring, with upcoming games against the Colts on December 14 and the Rams on December 18.
