Knight recorded four total tackles (three solo) and a fumble recovery in Sunday's 26-21 win over the Jets. Knight made his biggest impact in the third quarter, recovering a fumble from running back Breece Hall, which was forced by teammate Julian Love. Through 11 games in 2024, the linebacker has compiled 46 total tackles (27 solo), including 1.0 sacks, while also recovering a fumble.
Knight recorded nine tackles (five solo), including 1.0 sacks, in Sunday's 16-6 win over the Cardinals. The inside linebacker also played on at least 80 percent of the defensive snaps for the second game in a row since taking over the starting role following the departure of Tyrel Dodson. Knight has 19 tackles (nine solo) over those two games. The 2024 fourth-round pick appears entrenched as the starter going into a Week 13 matchup with the Jets.
Knight recorded 10 tackles (four solo) in Sunday's 20-17 win over the 49ers. The 2024 fourth-round pick took over a starting role at inside linebacker after Seattle waived Tyrel Dodson on Nov. 11. Knight also played on 47 defensive snaps Sunday, a season high.
Head coach Mike MacDonald told reporters that Knight will serve as Seattle's starting weakside linebacker following the release of Tyrel Dodson on Monday, Brady Henderson of ESPN.com reports. Knight, a 2024 fourth-round pick from UTEP, has played more than 10 defensive snaps in just three games this season, recording 22 total tackles in those appearances. He'll have big shoes to fill, as Dodson led Seattle's defense in total tackles (71) before being let go. Expect Knight to start alongside Ernest Jones as part of the Seahawks' top inside linebacker duo in Week 11's matchup against the 49ers.
Knight tallied nine tackles (seven solo) Monday in Seattle's loss to Detroit. Knight finished second on the Seahawks in stops behind Tyrel Dodson in the defeat. With Jerome Baker (hamstring) missing the contest, Knight notched his second straight start and logged a season-high 74 percent of Seattle's defensive snaps. He could again see plenty of time on the field Sunday versus the Giants if Baker has to miss a third consecutive week.
Knight is in line to make his first career NFL start Sunday against Miami due to Jerome Baker (hamstring) being listed as doubtful, Curtis Crabtree of Fox 13 Seattle reports. Baker had been dealing with a hamstring injury during training camp, and he aggravated it during the Seahawks' Week 2 overtime win over the Patriots. Knight took over for Baker at inside linebacker in that contest, and the former finished with seven tackles (three solo) while playing 42 snaps on defense and 10 on special teams. Knight was known as a run-stopper at UTEP, and the rookie fourth-round pick should see plenty of action at inside linebacker alongside Tyrel Dodson if Baker is inactive Sunday.
