News

  • Impresses as rookie

    Witherspoon recorded 79 tackles (56 solo), 16 pass breakups, 3.0 sacks and a pick-six across 14 games during the 2023 season.

    Analysis: Witherspoon's physicality was a welcomed addition to a Seattle defense that had seemingly lost its identity over the past couple of years. The No. 5 overall pick made a statement in Week 4 with two sacks and a pick-six against the Giants, and he led the Seahawks in pass breakups. His 8.0 tackles for loss also ranks fourth on the team. Witherspoon will be a starter again in 2024, and he should be a solid fantasy contributor regardless of who the head coach is.

  • Three tackles in return

    Witherspoon had three solo tackles in Sunday's 30-23 loss to the Steelers.

    Analysis: Witherspoon returned from a two-game absence due to a hip injury he sustained in Week 14 against the 49ers. He played 35 defensive snaps Sunday as he ceded time to Mike Jackson, who played all 71 snaps on defense and finished with five total tackles. Witherspoon should see the field more in the Seahawks' regular-season finale against the Cardinals -- barring any setback during practice -- as Seattle still has a chance to make the playoffs.

  • Returning to action

    Witherspoon (hip) is active Sunday against the Steelers.

    Analysis: Witherspoon has missed two straight games while recovering from a hip pointer, but the rookie corner's absences will end there. His return to the secondary should be good news for the Seahawks when they take the field against Pittsburgh in Week 17.

  • Possibility for Sunday

    The Seahawks are hopeful Witherspoon (hip) will be able to play in Sunday's game against the Steelers and that there is a 60/40 chance he'll be ready, Jeremy Fowler of ESPN.com reports.

    Analysis: Witherspoon is attempting to return from a two-game absence. Doing so would be beneficial for both Seattle's playoff push and his Defensive Rookie of the Year case. If he ultimately does not get the green light, Mike Jackson and Tre Brown would again be candidates to see increased snaps.

  • Questionable for Sunday

    Witherspoon (hip) is listed as questionable ahead of Sunday's game against the Steelers, Bob Condotta of The Seattle Times reports.

    Analysis: Witherspoon was able to log a week of limited practice sessions after missing Seattle's last two games, and he's now got a shot at suiting up in Week 17. If the 2023 first-round pick is unable to return to the field Sunday, expect both Mike Jackson and Tre Brown to see an uptick in snaps in the Seahawks' secondary.

  • Limited Wednesday

    Witherspoon (hip) was considered to be a limited participant at Seattle's walk-through Wednesday, John Boyle of the Seahawks' official site reports.

    Analysis: Witherspoon missed the last two contests due to a hip injury, but head coach Pete Carroll said Wednesday that the cornerback was "bouncing around pretty good in the walk-through." The cornerback will have two more practice sessions to increase his workload this week ahead of the team's matchup with Pittsburgh on Sunday.

  • Will miss second straight game

    Witherspoon (hip) is inactive for Sunday's Week 16 clash against Tennessee.

    Analysis: Witherspoon played just seven snaps due to injuring his hip against San Francisco in Week 14, and he's now set to miss his second game since then. The rookie cornerback didn't practice at all this week, so there's uncertainty about whether he'll be able to return for next Sunday's matchup versus Pittsburgh. While Witherspoon has been out, Mike Jackson has seen a substantial bump in defensive snaps.

  • Misses practice Friday

    Witherspoon (hip) did not participate in Friday's practice, Michael-Shawn Dugar of The Athletic reports.

    Analysis: With Witherspoon being a DNP in Friday's practice, it seems likely that he will miss his second straight game. Mike Jackson and Tre Brown are candidates for increased work at cornerback alongside starter Riq Woolen if Witherspoon is unable to suit up against the Titans on Sunday.

  • DNP in walk-through Wednesday

    Witherspoon (hip) was estimated as a nonparticipant in Wednesday's practice walk-through, Bob Condotta of The Seattle Times reports.

    Analysis: Witherspoon suffered a hip injury against the 49ers in Week 14 and sat out Monday's win over the Eagles. Per John Boyle of the team's official site, the rookie cornerback is dealing with a hip pointer but is showing improvement. Mike Jackson has seen a big increase in defensive snaps while Witherspoon has been absent and would presumably have a significant role again Sunday versus Tennessee if Witherspoon is ruled out again.

  • Out Monday

    Witherspoon (hip) is listed as inactive for Monday's matchup with the Eagles, John Boyle of the Seahawks' official website reports.

    Analysis: Witherspoon was questionable with a hip injury heading into the evening and ultimately did not get the green light. In his absence, Mike Jackson is the likely candidate to fill in at cornerback.

    Published: Mon, Dec 18 at 4:22pm by Rotowire.com
    More news and analysis available atNFL.com
  • Uncertain to suit up Monday

    Witherspoon (hip) is questionable to suit up against the Eagles on Monday, Curtis Crabtree of Fox 13 Seattle reports.

    Analysis: Witherspoon was hurt in the first quarter of last week's loss to San Francisco and was unable to return. He didn't practice at all during Week 15 prep, but head coach Pete Carroll indicated Saturday that he is "hoping" the rookie cornerback will be able to play Monday. If Witherspoon can't suit up, Mike Jackson figures to slide into a starting role.

  • Remains sidelined

    Witherspoon (hip) did not practice Thursday, Brady Henderson of ESPN.com reports.

    Analysis: Witherspoon hasn't practiced since suffering the injury in Sunday's loss to the 49ers. With the Seahawks not playing until Monday, he'll have the benefit of an extra day to recover, but he'll likely need to get back on the field in some capacity Friday or Saturday to be able to play in Week 15 against the Eagles.

  • Dealing with different injury

    Witherspoon suffered a hip pointer in Sunday's loss to the 49ers, not bruised ribs, head coach Pete Carroll stated Monday, John Boyle of the Seahawks' official site reports.

    Analysis: Witherspoon was unable to return to the game after suffering the injury and it's not clear how much time, if any, the rookie corner may miss. More details should emerge as the team releases its first injury report later in the week.

    Published: Mon, Dec 11 at 10:35am by Rotowire.com
    More news and analysis available atNFL.com
  • Bruised ribs in loss

    Head coach Pete Carroll noted after Sunday's 28-16 loss to the 49ers that Witherspoon is dealing with bruised ribs, Bob Condotta of The Seattle Times reports.

    Analysis: Witherspoon sustained the rib injury midway through the first quarter and did not return to the game. Artie Burns filled in for Witherspoon at nickel, but the former also left Sunday's game with a knee injury. Witherspoon will have an extra day off to recover from the injury ahead of Week 15 against the Eagles on Mon. Dec. 18.

  • Questionable to return

    Witherspoon (lower back) is questionable to return to Sunday's game against the 49ers.

    Analysis: Witherspoon exited Sunday's matchup in the first quarter and is now questionable to return. Mike Jackson will take over at corner for Witherspoon if he ends up being out.

    Published: Sun, Dec 10 at 1:47pm by Rotowire.com

  • Enjoys career day

    Witherspoon recorded seven tackles (six solo), two sacks and a pick-six during Seattle's 24-3 win against the Giants on Monday.

    Analysis: Witherspoon had the best game of his young career, notching both his first ever sack and interception, which he returned 97-yards for a touchdown to help seal the game. The rookie first-round pick will look to build off of this strong performance against the Bengals following Seattle's Week 5 bye.

  • Compiles 11 tackles in win

    Witherspoon recorded 11 tackles (eight solo) and two pass deflections in the Seahawks' 37-27 win over the Panthers on Sunday.

    Analysis: Witherspoon was everywhere in Week 3, leading the team in tackles while also deflecting two passes. The cornerback missed Week 1 with a hamstring injury, but he now has 16 tackles and three pass deflections over his first two career games with Seattle.

  • Ready to make NFL debut

    Witherspoon (hamstring) doesn't carry an injury designation into Sunday's game against the Lions, Bob Condotta of The Seattle Times reports.

    Analysis: Witherspoon missed Seattle's season opener, but he put in a full week of practice and is ready to make his NFL debut in Detroit. The 2023 first-round pick should help shore up a secondary that allowed over 100 receiving yards to two different Rams wide receivers in Week 1, even though Los Angeles was playing without Cooper Kupp (hamstring).

  • Makes return to practice

    Witherspoon (hamstring) was a full participant in practice Wednesday, John Boyle of the Seahawks' official site reports.

    Analysis: Witherspoon had been dealing with a hamstring issue since early August and didn't play in Seattle's season opener. Per Bob Condotta of The Seattle Times, Wednesday's practice was the cornerback's first full session since Aug. 7. It appears likely that Witherspoon will be able to make his season debut in Detroit on Sunday.

  • Inactive for Week 1

    Witherspoon (hamstring) is inactive for Sunday's game against the Rams, Bob Condotta of The Seattle Times reports.

    Analysis: Witherspoon has been dealing with a hamstring injury since early August. It was expected that he would miss Sunday's game and will have his next chance to make his NFL debut in Week 2 against the Lions. Tre Brown and Mike Jackson are set for elevated work opposite starting cornerback Riq Woolen.

    Published: Sun, Sep 10 at 12:02pm by Rotowire.com
    More news and analysis available atNFL.com
  • Probably won't debut Sunday

    Witherspoon (hamstring) is not expected to play against the Rams on Sunday, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.

    Analysis: The 2023 first-round selection out of Illinois had been sidelined for just under a month before participating in Seahawks practice as a limited participant this past week. Seattle seems to be playing it safe with their young corner, and the team hopes Witherspoon can make his debut during next week's contest against Detroit.

  • Questionable with hamstring issue

    Witherspoon (hamstring) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game versus the Rams, Michael-Shawn Dugar of The Athletic reports.

    Analysis: Coach Pete Carroll suggested a week ago that Witherspoon was unlikely to play in Seattle's regular-season opener, so he should be presumed to be on the 'doubtful' end of the questionable designation. One of Tre Brown or Mike Jackson would probably start in Witherspoon's place across from Riq Woolen.

  • Limited participant in practice

    Witherspoon (hamstring) was a limited participant in practice Wednesday, John Boyle of the Seahawks' official site reports.

    Analysis: Witherspoon has been out since early August but is making strides towards returning to full health and could still be ready for Sunday's game against the Rams. Selected fifth overall in April, the 22-year-old is slated to start at corner opposite Riq Woolen once healthy.

  • Back at practice Monday

    Witherspoon (hamstring) was spotted at the Seahawks' practice Monday, Gregg Bell of The Tacoma News Tribune reports.

    Analysis: Witherspoon has been out since Aug. 7 with a hamstring injury and it's unclear how much work he put in Monday at practice. Seattle's injury report Wednesday will give a better indication of the rookie cornerback's status for Week 1 versus the Rams. Head coach Pete Carroll said Friday that Witherspoon is unlikely to be able to play in the contest, though that certainly could have changed Monday.

    Published: Mon, Sep 4 at 4:11pm by Rotowire.com
    More news and analysis available atNFL.com
  • Unlikely to play Week 1

    Coach Pete Carroll suggested Friday that Witherspoon (hamstring) is unlikely to play Week 1 against the Rams, Gregg Bell of The Tacoma News Tribune reports.

    Analysis: Carroll didn't shut the door on the possibility but did say it's "going to be a race" to have the fifth overall draft pick ready for Week 1. The Seahawks coach previously said Witherspoon will be in the mix for a starting role once he's healthy, though it sounds like that might not happen for a few more weeks, temporarily leaving Tre Brown and Mike Jackson as the top candidates for CB snaps alongside Riq Woolen.

  • Still sidelined

    Witherspoon (hamstring) remained sidelined at Thursday's practice, Brady Henderson of ESPN.com reports.

    Analysis: Witherspoon, the No. 5 overall pick in April's draft, has not practiced since Aug. 7 due to a lingering hamstring issue. It was previously reported he was set to return this week, but that has not been the case. As the regular season gets closer, the rookie's status is getting murkier. Still, more clarity on his availability for the Week 1 matchup against the Rams will be gleaned once the Seahawks release their first injury report next week.

  • Could practice next week

    Witherspoon (hamstring) is on track to return to practice next week, John Boyle of the Seahawks' official site reports.

    Analysis: Witherspoon has been hampered with a lingering hamstring injury since Aug. 7. The Seahawks were presumably exercising caution with their fifth-pick overall selection in this year's draft in order to ensure his health heading into the regular season. Seattle has ideas of playing him in the slot to kick off the season, which should lead to a pretty robust role considering the Seahawks used five defensive backs on 70 percent of their defensive snaps last season. The rookie is trending in the right…read more

  • Could see time in slot

    The Seahawks are tinkering with the idea of playing Witherspoon (hamstring) in the slot to kick off the season, Eric Williams of FoxSports.com reports.

    Analysis: Witherspoon, the No. 5 overall selection in this year's draft, logged 109 snaps at slot corner during his final collegiate season at Illinois, so the role is not foreign to him. Riq Woolen and Mike Jackson are slated to start outside at corner, so Seattle is looking to get its best 11 defenders on the field as much as possible. It should be noted the Seahawks used five defensive backs on 70 percent of their snaps during the regular season in 2022. Witherspoon missed the first two days of camp…read more

  • Still dealing with injury

    Witherspoon missed practice again Wednesday due to a hamstring injury, Gregg Bell of The Tacoma News Tribune reports.

    Analysis: Witherspoon hasn't practiced since leaving early Monday after suffering the injury. Head Coach Pete Carrol has stated that the team will be cautious with him, and he will not play Thursday against the Vikings. The rookie cornerback will continue focusing on getting healthy, so he can be ready to go Week 1 against the Rams at the very latest.

  • Exits practice early

    Witherspoon left Monday's practice early and was seen with a wrap on his left leg, Brady Henderson of ESPN.com reports.

    Analysis: There is no word on the seriousness of Witherspoon's injury at this time, but expect the Seahawks to err on the side of caution with the No. 5 overall pick in this year's draft. He is expected to start at cornerback opposite Riq Woolen as a rookie.

  • Inks rookie deal

    Witherspoon agreed to a four-year, $31.86 million rookie contract with the Seahawks on Friday, Bob Condotta of The Seattle Times reports.

    Analysis: Witherspoon held out of training camp for two days and was the last of the 259 players taken in the 2023 NFL Draft to sign his rookie deal. Rookie contracts are collectively bargained based on draft position, but Witherspoon and the Seahawks were at odds over how much of the signing bonus he would get up front. The deal includes a signing bonus of $20.17 million, but there haven't been any initial reports on how that bonus is being paid out. With the holdout behind him, the 2023 first-round…read more

  • Holding out

    Witherspoon wasn't present at training camp Thursday as he continues to negotiate his rookie contract, Bob Condotta of The Seattle Times reports.

    Analysis: Witherspoon -- the No. 5 pick in this year's draft -- is the only 2023 draft pick that hasn't signed his rookie contract. The money is already collectively bargained, but Witherspoon is angling to get all or most of his $21.17 million signing bonus paid immediately. Head coach Pete Carroll doesn't believe that Witherspoon will be out for long. Hopefully that's the case, as the 22-year-old cornerback is missing crucial practice reps as he looks to solidify himself as the team's top cornerback.
