News

  • Progressing well after surgery

    Seahawks head coach Pete Carroll said Wednesday that Brooks (knee) is "doing really well" in his recovery but remains without a specific timeline to return to the field, John Boyle of the team's official site reports.

    Analysis: Brooks suffered a torn ACL in Week 17, and based off Carroll's comments, the Seahawks are optimistic that the linebacker's recovery is on schedule and that he'll be able to bounce back. At this stage, however, the 25-year-old isn't guaranteed to be ready for the start of the 2023 season. In spite of missing the Seahawks' regular-season finale and postseason loss to the 49ers, Brooks remained one of the most productive linebackers in IDP leagues, finishing with 161 tackles, one sack, one forced…read more

  • Undergoes surgery Thursday

    Brooks announced via Instagram that he underwent surgery Thursday to address the torn ACL in his right knee, Brady Henderson of ESPN.com reports.

    Analysis: Brooks sustained this injury during the Week 17 win over the Jets, causing him to finish the 2022 campaign with 161 tackles over 16 games. This total still ranked sixth among all tacklers this regular season despite having his season cut one game short. Brooks did add that Thursday's operation was successful, per Henderson, though the typical nine-month rehab process for this injury makes it rather unlikely he'll be ready to suit up for the 2023 season opener.

  • Surgery upcoming

    Head coach Pete Carroll said Monday that Brooks will have surgery later this week to address the torn ACL he suffered in Week 17 against the Jets, John Boyle of the Seahawks' official site reports.

    Analysis: Although Brooks' recovery process is now underway, he still remains without a specific timetable for a return to football-related activities. The 25-year-old will aim to be available for the start of next season, after he led Seattle with 161 stops across 16 games played during the 2022-23 campaign.

  • Heads to IR

    Seattle placed Brooks (knee) on injured reserve Tuesday, John Boyle of the Seahawks' official site reports.

    Analysis: Brooks' move to season-ending IR was inevitable after he was confirmed to have suffered a torn ACL in his knee during this past Sunday's win over the Jets. Head coach Pete Carroll said Brooks will undergo surgery to address the injury once the swelling in his knee subsides. The 25-year-old linebacker was named a Pro Bowl alternate this season after racking up a team-high 161 tackles to go with five pass breakups, one sack and one forced fumble in 16 games. Given the timing of his ACL surgery,…read more

  • Done for season

    Brooks was diagnosed with a torn ACL after exiting Sunday's win over the Jets, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.

    Analysis: Brooks will miss the rest of the season after testing and a postgame MRI confirmed that the star linebacker suffered ligament damage to his knee. He'll likely undergo surgery in the coming days, and considering the timing of the injury, Brooks isn't a safe bet to be ready to go for the start of the 2023 season. Brooks was one of the more productive linebackers in IDP leagues through the first 17 weeks of the 2022 campaign, as he tallied a team-high 161 tackles to go with one sack, one forced…read more

  • Getting tests done on knee

    Coach Pete Carroll said Brooks is undergoing tests on the knee injury that forced him from Sunday's win against the Jets, Gregg Bell of The Tacoma News Tribune reports.

    Analysis: Brooks entered Week 17 second in the NFL with 157 tackles, and he tacked on four more before exiting in the second quarter. Carroll noted the Seahawks "got our fingers crossed," so even though the inside linebacker wasn't able to put any weight on his leg at the time he suffered the injury, he may have avoided a worst-case scenario. The aforementioned tests likely will determine if Brooks misses the regular-season finale versus the Rams.

  • Will not return

    Brooks (knee) has been ruled out for the remainder of Sunday's game against the Jets.

    Analysis: Brooks suffered what appeared to be a significant injury that led to immediate attention from a doctor and led to him being unable to put any weight on his leg. He did enter the team's medical tent right immediately and then he was ultimately carted off the field and to the locker room. This news is certainly a significant blow to the Seahawks and their defense as they push for a playoff spot in the last two weeks of the season. Tanner Muse has stepped into replace him at inside linebacker.

  • Tallies eight stops in loss

    Brooks recorded eight tackles (five solo) and one pass defensed in Saturday's 24-10 loss to the Chiefs.

    Analysis: Brooks once again played every defensive snap for Seattle this past weekend, and he now ranks No. 2 in the NFL with 157 stops on the year. The 25-year-old should continue operating in his usual every-down role when Seattle hosts the Jets on New Year's Day.

  • Set play Saturday

    Brooks (neck) does not carry a game status ahead of Saturday's tilt against the Chiefs, John Boyle of the Seahawks' official site reports.

    Analysis: Brooks was evaluated for a neck injury during the Seahawks' Week 16 loss to the 49ers, and he was limited during practice Wednesday after opening Week 16 prep with a full session Tuesday. Nevertheless, it appears he was able to work past this issue in time to suit up against Kansas City's prolific offense. Brooks has recorded 149 tackles, one sack and four passes defended over 14 games this season, so he could be in line for another massively productive outing Saturday.

  • Limited Wednesday

    Brooks (neck) was a limited participant at Wednesday's practice, John Boyle of the Seahawks' official site reports.

    Analysis: Brooks injured his neck during Seattle's Week 15 loss to San Francisco. He seemed to have put the injury behind him after he was listed as a full participant on Tuesday's practice estimate, but Wednesday's limited listing indicates he's not in the clear for Saturday's game in Kansas City just yet. Brooks has been one of the top IDP performers thus far in 2022, tallying 149 tackles to go with a sack, a forced fumble and a fumble recovery over his first 14 appearances.

  • Full go to begin Week 16

    Brooks (neck) was listed as a full participant on the Seahawks' injury report Tuesday.

    Analysis: Brooks was evaluated for a neck injury during Week 15's loss to San Francisco on Thursday Night Football. The 25-year-old was then deemed questionable to return, though it's unclear if he was able to return to this contest. Nevertheless, it doesn't appear the issue will limit Brooks heading into Saturday's game against Kansas City, and the third-year linebacker should continue to serve as Seattle's top tackler moving forward.

  • Questionable to return

    Brooks (neck) has been downgraded to questionable to return to Thursday's game against the 49ers, Michael-Shawn Dugar of The Athletic reports.

    Analysis: Brooks was initially deemed probable to return during the second half after being removed to be evaluated for a neck injury. While the results of this evaluation are still unclear, the third-year linebacker was seen watching the game from the sideline without his helmet on, per Dugar. With less than five minutes remaining, Brooks will have little time left to get back on the field before the end of this contest.

  • Exits Thursday night

    Brooks exited to be evaluated for a neck injury during Thursday's game against San Francisco, though he is considered probable to return, John Boyle of the Seahawks' official site reports.

    Analysis: Brooks logged eight tackles before he was removed with a potential neck injury. Brooks was the league's second-leading tackler coming into Week 15, with 141 stops over 13 games this season. With Brooks out for the time being, Nick Bellore will likely step up into a bigger role alongside inside linebacker Cody Barton.

  • Logs double-digit tackles again

    Brooks posted 10 tackles (five solo) in Sunday's 30-24 defeat versus the Panthers.

    Analysis: Brooks tallied at least 10 tackles for the ninth time in 13 games this season. However, he actually finished as the team's third-leading tackler behind Cody Barton and Ryan Neal (knee). Brooks still far and away leads the Seahawks in tackles this season (141), and he now ranks just behind Jaguars linebacker Foye Oluokun (142) for the league's most tackles through Week 14. Brooks will serve a vital role in trying to slow down the 49ers' offense during Thursday Night Football in Week 15.

  • First sack of 2022

    Brooks recorded nine tackles (six solo) and a sack in Sunday's 27-23 win over the Rams.

    Analysis: Brooks will compete for the league lead in tackles down the stretch, as he's tied with Colts linebacker Zaire Franklin for second with 131 stops behind Falcons linebacker Rashaan Evans (134). He also managed to post his first sack of the year and the second of his career. Brooks continues to dominate in his third NFL season, and he's a must-start for IDP purposes.

  • No injury designation

    Brooks (illness) doesn't have an injury designation for Sunday's game against the Rams, John Boyle of the Seahawks' official site reports.

    Analysis: Brooks was held out of Thursday's practice session due to an illness, but the issue won't prevent him from suiting up in Week 13. Over his last three appearances, he's logged 44 tackles (29 solo) and three pass defenses.

    Brooks did not practice Thursday due to an illness, Michael-Shawn Dugar of The Athletic reports.

    Analysis: Brooks was one of eight Seahawks players to be listed with an illness on Thursday's injury report, leaving him sidelined in practice for the first time Week 13. While the timing of this ailment is far from opportune, the third-year linebacker will have one more chance to work his way back into practice before Friday's final injury report. Brooks leads the NFL with 122 tackles through the first 12 weeks of the season, so it's likely the team will do everything it can to make sure he's available…read more

    Analysis: Brooks led all players with a season-high 14 stops and notched his seventh double-digit tackle performance in 10 appearances. The third-year linebacker has totaled 104 tackles, three pass defenses, a forced fumble and a fumble recovery while playing nearly every single defensive snap for Seattle this season.

  • Game-high 12 tackles Sunday

    Brooks collected 12 tackles (11 solo) and one pass defensed during Sunday's 31-21 win over the Cardinals.

    Analysis: Through the first nine weeks of the 2022 NFL campaign, Brooks leads the entire league with 90 tackles and has played all but two defensive snaps for the Seahawks this season. Additionally, the 25-year-old has two passes defensed, one forced fumble and one fumble recovery across nine games played, and he'll look to keep his Pro Bowl caliber season rolling into Sunday's contest against the Buccaneers in the first ever NFL game in Germany.

    Brooks (ankle) was able to practice fully Thursday, John Boyle of the Seahawks' official site reports.

    Analysis: Brooks picked up an ankle injury at some point after the Seahawks' win over the Giants and was forced to practice in a limited capacity Wednesday. With the linebacker recording a full practice Thursday, there's a good chance Brooks will be able to suit up against the Cardinals on Sunday.

    Analysis: Brooks is tending to an ankle injury following his least effective performance of the season, finishing with five tackles (five solo) in Week 8 against the Giants. His ability to practice over the next few days will likely determine his availability for Sunday in Arizona.

  • Underwhelming performance

    Brooks posted five solo tackles in the 27-13 win over the Giants on Sunday.

    Analysis: Brooks posted his lowest tackle total since Week 7 of the 2021 season. There's no reason to worry about Brooks' rest-of-season outlook, however, because he's still playing every defensive snap. The 2020 first-round pick has averaged 9.75 tackles per game this season, so he'll be a must-start option in Week 9 against the Cardinals.

    Brooks totaled eight tackles (seven solo), one quarterback hit and one forced fumble during Sunday's 37-23 win over the Chargers.

Across seven appearances, the third-year linebacker has totaled 73 tackles, putting him on pace to nearly match his career-high 184 stops from a year ago.

The 2020 first-rounder has played all but two defensive snaps for Seattle this season, and he'll look to remain a focal point of the team's defense Sunday versus Arizona.

The 2020 first-round pick's absence from the injury report Thursday should indicate that he's fully healthy once again heading into the Seahawks' Week 1 matchup against the Broncos on Monday.

    Brooks (hamstring) didn't take the field during the 2022 preseason.

    Analysis: Brooks hasn't fully shaken off the hamstring injury that he sustained in early August, but there's no indication his Week 1 status is in jeopardy. In fact, the Seahawks only kept one backup inside linebacker, Nick Bellore, signaling they're not too worried about Brooks' status. Brooks led the league last year with 184 tackles (109 solo). He's a premier IDP option again this season.

    Seahawks coach Pete Carroll said that Brooks sat out Friday's practice while dealing with a tight hamstring, Curtis Crabtree of Sports Radio 950 KJR Seattle reports.

    Analysis: It's likely that Seattle will take every precaution when it comes to Brooks' health this offseason after he finished the 2021 campaign with the NFL's second-most tackles (184). In the starting inside linebacker's absence, backups Joel Iyiegbuniwe and Tanner Muse should see increased reps this preseason.

    Brooks will call the plays as the starting inside linebacker for the Seahawks this season, Connor Zimmerlee of SI.com reports.

    Analysis: Brooks received this job after Bobby Wagner was cut in March. The 2020 first-round pick ranked second in the league last year with 184 tackles, which is more than Wagner ever produced in a year. Brooks is poised to lead the Seahawks in tackles again with Cody Barton starting alongside him. Consider Brooks an elite IDP option for 2022.

    Brooks posted 184 tackles (109 solo), five pass breakups, a sack and a fumble recovery across 17 games during the 2021 season.

    Analysis: In his second NFL season, Brooks finished second in the league in tackles, beating Bobby Wagner's career best for tackles in the process. Brooks looks like he'll be a staple of Seattle's defense moving forward, and he could take on signal-caller duties if Wagner doesn't return in 2022. We should expect Brooks -- who is 24 years old -- to be a high-end IDP option next season.

    Analysis: This was Brooks' best tackling performance of the season. The second-year linebacker is now ranked sixth in the league with 99 tackles (56 solo) through 10 games, trailing teammate Bobby Wagner, who leads the league with 115 stops. Brooks is a surefire IDP option on a weekly basis.

  • Leads team in tackles

    Brooks had 13 tackles (10 solo) during Sunday's 17-0 loss to the Packers.

    Analysis: Brooks played 63 of 74 defensive snaps and recorded double-digit tackles for the fourth time this season. The 24-year-old isn't quite as consistent as fellow linebacker Bobby Wagner, but he's still been a solid IDP option in 2021with 84 tackles (46 solo), one sack and one fumble recovery through nine games.

  • Eclipses last year's tackle mark

    Brooks posted 14 tackles (seven solo) in Sunday's 23-20 overtime loss to the Steelers.

    Analysis: Brooks reached a double-digit tackle count for the third time this season, and he's now up to 59 stops (31 solo) through six games, surpassing last year's mark of 57. The 2020 first-round pick trails Bobby Wagner (72) for the team high in tackles, but Brooks is still a strong IDP option.

  • Tallies first sack

    Brooks logged seven tackles (four solo), one sack and one pass defensed during Sunday's 28-21 win over San Francisco.

    Analysis: Brooks managed to tally his first sack of the season during Sunday's divisional matchup, adding to what has been a respectable tackling floor throughout the first four games of the year. The second-year pro will look to keep up his consistency against the Rams in Week 5.

  • Piles up 11 stops

    Brooks made 11 tackles (seven solo) in Sunday's 28-16 win over the Colts.

    Analysis: With K.J. Wright out of the picture, Brooks is stepping up right out of the gate, finishing second on the team for tackles behind Bobby Wagner (13) and matching last year's season high. Brooks -- a first-round pick in 2020 -- has major upside for IDP purposes, as Wright produced 100-plus tackles in five of his last six seasons with the Seahawks when he played at least 15 games.

  • Modest output as rookie

    Brooks posted 57 tackles and two pass breakups over 14 regular-season games (six starts) during the 2020 season. He added eight tackles in the wild-card loss to the Rams.

    Analysis: Brooks started four of the final five regular-season games, and he posted 28 stops among those starts. The rookie first-rounder didn't play more than 77 percent of the defensive snaps in any game. For a linebacker with 20 tackles for loss and three sacks during his senior season at Texas Tech, it was an underwhelming campaign for Brooks. The 22-year-old will look to improve this summer, and he could handle a larger role in 2021 if K.J. Wright, the team's starting strong-side linebacker, doesn't…read more

  • Generates 11 stops

    Brooks made 11 tackles (five solo) in Sunday's 17-12 loss to the Giants.

    Analysis: The rookie first-round pick made his third start of the season and logged a career-high 43 snaps on defense (77 percent). The Texas Tech product handled the uptick in reps admirably, tying Jamal Adams for the team lead in stops. Brooks is still adjusting to the NFL level, but Week 13 was a glimpse into the IDP value he holds when afforded the opportunity.

  • Rings up seven stops

    Brooks made seven tackles (three solo) in Sunday's 37-34 loss to the Cardinals.

    Analysis: In his return from a two-game absence due to a knee injury, Brooks started at weak-side linebacker but was held to a pitch count, handling just 45 percent of the defensive workload. Nevertheless, he tied for third on the team in tackles and was used as a spy on Kyler Murray at times. Brooks stopped Murray for a one-yard loss at the goal line in the first half and stuffed him on third down for no gain in the fourth quarter. It speaks to Brooks' talent and athleticism that he can track and slow…read more

  • Ready to face Cardinals

    Brooks (knee) does not have an injury designation for Sunday's divisional contest against the Cardinals, Gregg Bell of The Tacoma News Tribune reports.

    Analysis: Brooks' sprained MCL caused him to sit out Seattle's last two games, but he'll return in time to face Arizona. The rookie first-round pick stands to handle a starting role Sunday, when he'll face the difficult task of containing Kyler Murray and the Cardinals.

  • Won't face Vikings

    Brooks (knee) is officially inactive for Sunday's game against the Vikings.

    Analysis: Brooks will miss his second consecutive game due to a lingering ankle sprain. The Seahawks have a bye scheduled for Week 6, so the rookie first-round pick's next chance to take the field won't come until Oct. 25 in Arizona.

  • Chance to play Week 5

    Brooks (knee) is questionable for Sunday's game against the Vikings, John Boyle of the Seahawks' official site reports.

    Analysis: The rookie first-round pick missed last week with the sprained MCL but has a chance of retaking the field this weekend. Brooks was originally expected to miss multiple games after suffering the injury Week 3, so the Seahawks are likely to remain cautious to avoid rushing his return.

  • Ruled out for Week 4

    Coach Pete Carroll said Friday that Brooks (knee) won't play in Miami on Sunday, Stacy Jo Rost of 710 ESPN Seattle reports.

    Analysis: Brooks is expected to miss multiple games while rehabbing a sprained MCL, so this news comes as official confirmation of what was already expected. With Bruce Irvin already having been lost to a torn ACL, the Seahawks look set to rely on Shaquem Griffin and Cody Barton to form a starting rotation.

  • Expected to miss games

    Brooks suffered an MCL sprain in Sunday's 38-31 win over the Cowboys, Tom Pelissero of NFL Network reports.

    Analysis: The rookie first-rounder made his first NFL start since Bruce Irvin (torn ACL) went down in Week 2. Brooks only played 14 snaps before exiting the game, however, and he'll likely miss a few games due to the injury. For the time being, Shaquem Griffin and Cody Barton will likely rotate into a starting role.

  • Questionable with knee injury

    Brooks is questionable to return to Sunday's game against the Cowboys due to a knee injury, John Boyle of the Seahawks' official site reports.

    Analysis: The Seahawks are already without Bruce Irvin (knee) for the rest of the season due to a torn ACL, so Brooks was handling the starting strong-side linebacker role Sunday before being forced out. As long as he's held out, Cody Barton and Ben Burr-Kirven could see increased defensive snaps.

  • Starting role on tap

    Brooks is expected to be the Seahawks' starting strong-side linebacker following news that Bruce Irvin will miss the rest of the season with a torn ACL, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.

    Analysis: Brooks narrowly lost a battle with K.J. Wright for the weak-side linebacker job to begin the season, but the rookie first-round pick appears locked into a starting role moving forward. While he might forfeit some snaps to Cody Barton, Brooks should be the primary backer with potential to play a three-down role. He's only played 15 defensive snaps this season and recorded one tackle.

  • Competing for starting role

    Brooks will compete with K.J. Wright for the starting weak-side linebacker role during training camp, Brady Henderson of ESPN.com reports.

    Analysis: The Seahawks selected Brooks 27th overall in April's draft with the hope that he could eventually play all three linebacker positions, but the Texas Tech product will focus on securing one job for now. Through the first few days of camp, head coach Pete Carroll seemingly wants veteran Bruce Irvin to play strong-side linebacker on early downs and defensive end on passing downs, so that means Brooks' best chance at a starting job is to beat out Wright. That will be a difficult endeavor, consider…read more
