Seattle Seahawks roster ‘still needs upgrade’ at two positions

The Seattle Seahawks did an excellent job during the 2025 NFL draft, especially with their first three selections. In Round 1, they added North Dakota State guard Grey Zabel, who should be a starter right away. They also brought in safety Nick Emmanwori and tight end Elijah Arroyo, who will also have key roles quickly.

Emmanwori is a star in the making who exploded at the NFL Combine. He’s expected to give them their new enforcer in the secondary, and is said to be a perfect fit for Mike Macdonald’s defense. Arroyo is a pass-catching tight end who will help them move on from Noah Fant.

Those additions leave them with limited holes on the roster, but that doesn’t mean there are none. In fact, two of their top needs, according to Bleacher Report’s Alex Ballentine, are still on the offensive line.

“However, they still need an upgrade at center and right guard. They didn’t go all-in on offensive linemen and gave Darnold another weapon in Elijah Arroyo and drafted a developmental quarterback in Jalen Milroe.” — Ballentine, Bleacher Report

Seattle is set to start Olu Oluwatimi at center and either Anthony Bradford or Christian Haynes at guard. Neither is considered an elite player, with Bradford being ranked No. 72 out of 77 at guard by Pro Football Focus. Haynes didn’t play enough to get ranked, but the 2024 third-round pick left a lot to be desired.

That said, it’s unlikely the Seahawks do anything more at this point other than bank on improvement from their young linemen.

Seattle Torrent put Olympic captain Hilary Knight on long-term IR – Seattle Sports

Olympians Hilary Knight, Kendall Coyne Schofield and Erin Ambrose have all been placed on long-term injured reserve by their PWHL clubs after sustaining injuries during the Milan Cortina Games.

Knight, a five-time Olympian and captain of the United States team that won gold, will be out of the lineup for the Seattle Torrent indefinitely after sustaining a lower-body injury in Italy, the team announced Friday.

Knight had three goals and three assists for the U.S. at Milan Cortina including a goal in the 2-1 overtime win over Canada in the final. She has three goals and seven assists during the current PWHL season.

“While we’re eager to be at full strength and recognize the anticipation of Hilary’s return, we’re focused on putting her and our team in the best position for a playoff push,” Torrent general manager Meghan Turner said in a statement.

Minnesota Frost captain Coyne Schofield was placed on long-term injured reserve on Friday retroactive to Feb. 19 with an upper-body injury. Coyne Schofield scored three goals for the United States during the Olympics.

“I am incredibly proud of all our Frost Olympians who demonstrated true excellence on the world stage,” general manager Melissa Caruso said in a statement. “We are fully committed to supporting Kendall throughout her recovery, and our medical team will be working diligently to help her prepare for her return to the ice.”

The moves by the Torrent and Frost came a day after the Montreal Victoire announced that Ambrose has been placed on long-term injured reserve retroactive to Feb. 19 for a lower‑body injury suffered while representing Canada in the gold medal game. Ambrose had a pair of assists at the Olympics.

The Victoire’s Marie-Philip Poulin, Canada’s captain in Italy, was listed as day-to-day with an Olympics-related injury.

Victoire general manager Daniele Sauvageau said of the team’s Olympians “we are confident that they will be back in the lineup in the near future.”

ST. LOUIS (AP) — Dylan Holloway had a hat trick and added an assist in his return from a sprained ankle, Joel Hofer made 23 saves and the St. Louis Blues came off the Olympic break to beat the Seattle Kraken 5-1 on Thursday night.

St. Louis Blues 5, Seattle Kraken 1: Box score

Jordan Kyrou and Holloway — activated from injured reserve before the game — scored in a 23-second span early in the second period to give St. Louis a 3-1 lead.

Pius Suter added a goal and two assists to help the Blues end a three-game losing streak.

Holloway completed St. Louis’ first hat trick of the season with 3:01 left, scoring into an empty net for his 11th of the season.

Kaapo Kakko tied it at 1 for Seattle in the first period, and Philipp Grubauer stopped 26 shots. The Kraken were coming off a 4-1 loss in Dallas on Wednesday night.
