Reed's Return Strengthens Seahawks' Top Defense

Seattle's defensive line is poised for a significant enhancement as veteran Jarran Reed is expected to return from injured reserve. Reed, who had been sidelined for four games due to wrist surgery, is now eligible to rejoin the team.

Before his injury, Reed was a key contributor, ranking among the league's best in pressures and recording 1.5 sacks. The Seahawks' defense as a whole has been dominant, securing the fourth-highest sack total in the NFL with 40 and allowing an average of just 18.1 points per game, which places them third nationally.

Reed, in his tenth season and second stint with the Seahawks, has a career total of 40 sacks. He rejoined Seattle as a free agent in 2023 after playing with the Kansas City Chiefs and Green Bay Packers. This move significantly strengthens the team as they prepare for their upcoming game against the Atlanta Falcons.
