Seahawks Refocus on 49ers After Coordinators Finish Head-Coach Interviews

Mike Macdonald says the bye let Seattle compartmentalize interviews without disrupting preparation.

Overview

  • Offensive coordinator Klint Kubiak interviewed with the Ravens, Falcons and Dolphins, and defensive coordinator Aden Durde met with the Falcons and Browns for their head-coach vacancies.
  • The interviews were scheduled on team off days during Seattle’s NFC No. 1 seed bye, according to Macdonald.
  • Practice time last week centered on self-scouting before the team turned fully to San Francisco following the 49ers’ 23-19 win in Philadelphia.
  • Tight end Elijah Arroyo and safety Coby Bryant are expected to practice this week, with Arroyo considered a possibility to play Saturday.
  • Left tackle Charles Cross is set to return to the starting lineup after a hamstring absence and a new four-year deal as Seattle prepares for its first home playoff game in five years.
