Woolen recorded a solo tackle and an interception in Thursday's 6-3 win over the Bears. Woolen intercepted a deep pass from Caleb Williams in the fourth quarter to effectively end the game. This was Woolen's third interception of the season, and he now has 11 total since entering the league in 2022. The speedster is locked in as a starter heading into the Week 18 clash against the Rams, and his assignment will be difficult with matchups against Puka Nacua and Cooper Kupp.
Woolen recorded a solo tackle, two passes defensed and an interception in Sunday's 26-20 overtime loss to the Rams. The cornerback also played on all 68 defensive snaps. Woolen now has 18 tackles (12 solo), six pass breakups and two interceptions on the year.
Woolen (ankle) doesn't have an injury designation for Sunday's game against the Bills, John Boyle of the Seahawks' official site reports. Woolen had missed the last two games after going down with an ankle injury in the Seahawks' Week 5 loss to the Giants. The cornerback had recorded 13 tackles and one interception through five games before getting hurt.
Woolen (ankle) was a limited participant at the Seahawks' practice Wednesday, John Boyle of the Seahawks' official site reports. Woolen was able to practice for the first time since suffering an ankle injury in Week 5 against the Giants, which bodes well for his chances to return to the field Sunday versus Buffalo. The cornerback will look increase his workload the rest of the week in order to be active in Week 8.
Woolen (ankle) has been ruled out ahead of Sunday's matchup against the Falcons, Michael-Shawn Dugar of The Athletic reports. Woolen has yet to practice since sustaining an ankle injury in Seattle's Week 5 loss to the Giants, and he's now set to miss his second consecutive game Sunday. Expect Dee Williams and Nehemiah Pritchett to serve as the Seahawks' top outside cornerbacks with both Woolen and Tre Brown (ankle) sidelined in Week 7.
Woolen (ankle) didn't practice Wednesday, Curtis Crabtree of Fox 13 Seattle reports. Woolen was sidelined for the Seahawks' Week 6 loss to the 49ers due to an ankle injury, and Wednesday's DNP suggests he could be in jeopardy of missing even more time. The third-year corner will likely need to upgrade to at least limited participation Thursday or Friday in order to suit up for Seattle's Week 7 matchup against the Falcons.
Woolen (ankle) has been ruled out ahead of Thursday night's matchup against the 49ers, John Boyle of the Seahawks' official site reports. Woolen was estimated as a non-participant on Monday's practice estimation after sustaining an ankle injury during the Seahawks' Week 5 loss to the Giants, so it's no surprise he won't make it back in time for Thursday's divisional matchup. With Woolen sidelined in Week 6, expect Dee Williams and Nehemiah Pritchett to see increased work with Seattle's first-team defense.
Woolen (ankle) was a non-participant on Monday's practice estimate. Woolen was unable to return Sunday against the Giants after injuring his ankle. His status on a short week is certainly up in the air at this point. Dee Williams and Nehemiah Pritchett are candidates to replace his snaps at cornerback if he is ultimately unable to suit up versus the 49ers.
Woolen (ankle) is questionable to return Sunday versus the Giants, Brady Henderson of ESPN.com reports. Woolen appears to have picked up an apparent ankle injury in the second half against New York, leaving his status for the rest of the game up in the air. In his absence, Dee Williams and Nehemiah Pritchett are candidates for more substantial roles in Seattle's secondary.
