Brooks in, Reed out for Seahawks' defense in season finale
The Seattle Seahawks get one key defender back for their regular season finale in Arizona, but another top player on that side of the ball will not be active in Week 18.
Carroll: All Seattle Seahawks can do is ‘take care of our business’
Jordyn Brooks, one of Seattle’s best defenders in 2023, is active against the Cardinals. The fourth-year linebacker was questionable with an ankle injury that kept him out of last week’s loss to the Pittsburgh Steelers.
Having Brooks back is a big deal for the Seahawks as he’s once again posted over 100 tackles on the year, and he also has an interception, 4.5 sacks, a forced fumble and fumble recovery and a career-high five QB hits this year.
It could also be Brooks’ last regular season game with the Hawks as the 2020 first-round pick is set to hit free agency for the first time. He’s 26 years old.
As for who the Seahawks won’t have on defense in Arizona, that would be defensive tackle Jarran Reed, who returned to Seattle in free agency after spending the last two years in Kansas City and Green Bay.
Reed, 31, has been one of the team’s better pass rushers this year, with his seven sacks ranking second on the Seahawks behind Boye Mafe. Reed is also second on Seattle’s defense in QB hits (12) and is fifth in tackles for loss (seventh).
Special teams captain Nick Bellore (knee) is active for the Seahawks after being listed as questionable.
Veteran offensive tackle Jason Peters (foot) was also questionable to play but he is inactive.
The Seahawks ruled out starting right tackle Abraham Lucas (knee) on Friday as well as rookie running back Kenny McIntosh (thumb) and defensive end Mario Edwards Jr. (knee).
Rounding out Seattle’s inactives list against the Cardinals are linebacker Patrick O’Connell and offensive tackle Raiqwon O’Neal.
The Seahawks enter Week 18 at 8-8 and, like last year, can make it to the playoffs with a win and some help.
The Seahawks technically have three paths to the playoffs, though two involve ties and are unlikely to happen.
The most likely path towards Seattle advancing to the postseason is a win over Arizona and a Green Bay Packers loss to the Chicago Bears.
Last year, the Seahawks also needed to win and have the Packers lose in order to make the playoffs, and that’s what happened as Seattle beat the Los Angeles Rams and the Packers fell to the Detroit Lions in Aaron Rodgers’ final game with Green Bay.
Unlike last year, the Seahawks will not have to wait long to know whether they’re playoff-bound. Both Seattle and Green Bay kick off at 1:25 p.m. Pacific, whereas last year the Seahawks played in the afternoon and the Packers hosted the Lions on Sunday Night Football.
Salk: Seattle Seahawks aren’t executing their philosophy due to compromises
SEATTLE, Wash. – There were at least 200 protesters that showed up in Seattle Wednesday night in what speakers called an “emergency protest” in response to the fatal ICE shooting in Minneapolis Wednesday.
“We want justice, we want peace, we want justice, we want peace, we want ICE off our streets, we want ice off our streets…” they chanted.

After listening to speakers, protesters went on the march and circled the blocks near the Federal Building in Seattle.
Though the protest was organized on short notice, some protesters say they were compelled to come out Wednesday with urgency because they felt what happened in Minneapolis was a bridge too far.
What they’re saying:
“ICE has gone too far. We’ve felt this, we’ve known this for a long time. There have been people protesting,” said Raleigh Watts, protesting the ICE shooting. “We’ve been hearing the news. Today I came out because when I heard, it was my sign that a line has been crossed that I can’t stand anymore. So, I’ve come to say, ‘No ICE, you’ve gone too far’.”
“A lot of people out here are really, really angry, confused and sad, but I think we have what it takes to fight back,” said Sophia Van Beek, protesting the MN ICE shooting. “I’m certain there are going to be actions.”
Sophia says in order to make a difference, protesters need to create an actionable political program.

Members of law enforcement were in the area and helped to block off the streets during the protest and march. There were no clashes during this protest and it wrapped up at around 7:30 p.m. on Wednesday.
“I am proud of all the hundreds of people who have turned out tonight at the federal building in Seattle. I’m proud of the people who are in Tacoma that are protesting at the ice detention center and in Minneapolis and in cities across the country. This is not okay for ICE to kill somebody,” said Watts.
What’s next:
Some people at Wednesday’s demonstration said they were planning to organize more protests in the coming weeks.

SEATTLE — Seattle activists are rallying to demand justice on Wednesday following the fatal shooting of a woman by an Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agent in Minneapolis.
The Seattle Alliance Against Racist and Political Repression (SAARPR) and Seattle Against War (SAW) have organized an emergency press conference to protest the incident.
The event is scheduled for 6 p.m. Wednesday at the Henry M. Jackson Federal Building in Seattle.
Woman killed by ICE officers in Minneapolis; Mayor tells ICE to ‘get the f***’ out
The shooting occurred on Wednesday morning at the corner of 34th and Portland Avenue in Minneapolis. According to preliminary information, Minneapolis Police Chief Brian O’Hara said, the woman was sitting in her vehicle blocking the roadway when a federal law enforcement officer approached on foot. When the vehicle began to drive away, at least two shots were fired, and the vehicle crashed on the side of the road.
In response, emergency protests have erupted in Minneapolis and are expected to continue through Jan. 11.
The Seattle groups are joining the Legalization 4 All Network in calling for an immediate end to ICE raids and mass deportations.
They are also demanding justice and accountability for the woman who was killed, including the release of the name of the ICE agent involved and the names of all agents participating in such operations.
