The Seattle Seahawks have made their roster cuts to get from 91 players to 53. They'll keep working on their "70-man roster" by forming their practice squad on Monday, then tinker with the roster some more before Week 1 of the regular season kicks off against the New England Patriots.
Perhaps there's a reason why "Hard Knocks" sought to spotlight Foster from the second episode onward. Foster had an impressive training camp, a somewhat up-and-down preseason but with a few splash plays on offense and some down-and-dirty work on special teams, and he's been rewarded with a spot on the 53. Not bad for someone who just got his real estate license and spent time as a substitute teacher in Ohio.
For now, Foster is Seattle's fifth wide receiver, and while he may not have the blocking chops of Jake Bobo, he can replace his special teams value and maybe provide a little bit more of a route tree in his limited snaps on offense.
Foster is one of those players you root for to succeed, and it helps when his parents have both been a wonderful follow. Their son is now more than just a Seahawks training camp body.
With the caveat that Mason Richman's ACL tear probably shuffled the numbers a tad, Seattle opted to keep both Bryce Cabeldue and Christian Haynes as backup guards. Haynes looked to be in jeopardy of leaving the Seahawks when Beau Stephens was drafted, but instead he enters 2026 off the best camp and preseason of his career. Cabeldue ******* umed a few snaps at center, just as he (and Haynes) did last year.

The Seattle Seahawks are set to kick off their preseason opener at 5 p.m. PST against the Dallas Cowboys at Lumen Field. Here are four bold predictions surrounding main narratives in this game, which will give us the first taste of game action as defending champions.
First, I believe six to seven healthy running backs- George Holani, Jadarian Price, Emanuel Wilson, Velus Jones Jr., Jacardia Wright, TJ Harden, and Justin Jones- to get carries. We'll see them all side-by-side and make a fair evaluation on the eye test, then discuss after the game in takeaways and Studs & Duds. Maybe we'll even get a feel for the baseline RB pecking order at the current moment.
Second, don't sleep on Dallas' depth along both the offensive and defensive line. They've bolstered their formidable new interior duo of Kenny Clark and Quinnen Williams with a plethora of edge pieces, from Otito Ogbonnia and Rashan Gary to Donovan Ezeraiku and Dee Winters, plus backups like Jaishawn Barham and rookie LT Overton out of Alabama that should play a lot tonight. This will be a much better measuring stick for the Seahawks' developmental pieces than the Raiders were last year. That could mean Mason Richman, Bryce Cabeldue and the rest of the backup offensive line need to step up and prove their level in the second half.
Ironically, Brian Schottenheimer returns to Seattle with low stakes, but his offense still struggles to move the chains more than it should. Expect him to try to go deep and to the boundary and get his young skill players involved, but with the Seahawks positively violent mentality which was featured on the most recent Hard Knocks, screens and out routes will be no match- regardless of the level of depth the game calls for.
Finally, Brian Fleury's offense will reveal its foundation to the world, or at least, whoever's watching this game. I don't know how much influence he'll bring from Kyle Shanahan or the San Francisco 49ers offense, or if it'll be productive. A first-time offensive play caller is as good an opportunity for surprise as any, so I expect this to be the talking point of the night when all is said and done. Follow us here during the game for breakdowns of exactly what Fleury and Mike Macdonald are cooking up, and check back postgame for takeaways, Studs & Duds, and all your other Seahawks needs!

RENTON, Wash. (AP) — The defending Super Bowl champion Seattle Seahawks are being featured on the HBO series "Hard Knocks" for the first time in franchise history, and it didn't take long for some someone to stir the pot.
Last Friday, Seahawks linebacker Derick Hall put offensive lineman Bryce Cabeldue into a chokehold and body-slammed him during a fight in practice that was shown on the first episode, which debuted Tuesday night. Cabeldue and linebacker Tyrice Knight shoved one another before Hall brought Cabeldue to the ground.
Following Wednesday's practice, Hall acknowledged that things got out of control, but he said he and his teammates have since made up.
"At the end of the day, we all love each other," Hall said. "We're a team. We are a brotherhood. At the end of the day, it happened out here. We go in the locker room, you know, 'Hey man, I apologize, that was beyond the line of where we're trying to go, where we trying to get.' And we move forward."
During the episode, defensive coordinator Aden Durde revealed to coach Mike Macdonald that fullback and special teams captain Brady Russell had egged Hall on. According to Durde, Russell said Hall, who signed a $42 million, three-year contract extension in June, had changed because of his new deal.
