Overview
- The second-year linebacker logged eight tackles, two sacks and two forced fumbles in a 44-22 win over Arizona, with both strip-sacks of Jacoby Brissett turning into DeMarcus Lawrence fumble-return touchdowns.
- Lawrence became the sixth player since at least 1991 to score two defensive touchdowns in the first half of a game, capitalizing on Knight’s pressures.
- Knight reclaimed a starting role after Ernest Jones sustained a knee injury in Week 9, following an earlier benching for Drake Thomas, and he has posted 10 tackles one week and eight the next.
- Coach Mike Macdonald said Knight’s early heart issue was not career-threatening, and after a training camp knee setback Knight has played in all nine games this season.
- Seattle reported new injuries with center Jalen Sundell out multiple weeks with a knee injury and defensive tackle Jarran Reed on injured reserve after wrist surgery, while the statuses of Josh Jobe, Ernest Jones and Tory Horton remain uncertain ahead of road games at the Rams on Nov. 16 and Titans on Nov. 23.
