Wide receiver Montorie Foster Jr, one of the stars and feel-good stories from HBO\u2019s \u2018Hard Knocks\u2019 series, was waived in a corresponding move. Foster had been a healthy scratch since Week 2 and his only snaps in Week 1 were on special teams.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1upudxki _174s0un1 _174s0un0 _1mt21p01\">The fourth-year guard has been out since shortly after Seattle\u2019s Week 1 win over the New England Patriots, missing practice ahead of the Week 2 win over the Cardinals with knee and hip injuries. Ultimately, he was downgraded to out and then <a href=\"https:\/\/www.fieldgulls.com\/seattle-seahawks-injury-report\/175502\/seahawks-injury-update-anthony-bradford-injured-reserve-nfl-news\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">placed on injured reserve<\/a> \u2014 but with head coach Mike Macdonald stating at the time his I.R. stint would be on the \u201cshorter side.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1upudxki _174s0un1 _174s0un0 _1mt21p01\">Similarly, Bradford\u2019s return to practice this week included further optimism from Macdonald, who said, \u201cNormally I\u2019m pretty coy on this one, but it\u2019s pretty straightforward. If he has a good week, he\u2019s gonna play a significant amount or the whole game.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1upudxki _174s0un1 _174s0un0 _1mt21p01\">Sure enough, Bradford will now be back in the lineup against the undefeated Chiefs after practicing all week and having no injury designation. Regardless of Sunday\u2019s opponent, his return will give a much-needed boost to an offensive line that has struggled to protect Sam Darnold in 2026. Through six games, Seattle has allowed 16 sacks while Darnold has faced a league-high pressure rate of 34.5%.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1upudxki _174s0un1 _174s0un0 _1mt21p01\">Bradford, a fourth-round pick of the Seahawks in the 2023 NFL Draft, started all 17 games last season after making 21 starts across his first two years in Seattle.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Help is on the way for the Seattle Seahawks\u2019 offensive line.
