Mafe finished the 2024 season with 40 total tackles (25 solo), including 6.0 sacks, while adding three passes defensed and a fumble recovery across 15 games. Mafe rebounded well after a knee injury early in the season, securing at least 6.0 sacks for the second straight year. The linebacker has become a consistent force on Seattle's defense over his three-year NFL career and he'll be entering the final year of his rookie contract in 2025.
Mafe (knee) has no injury designation ahead of Sunday's matchup against the 49ers, Michael-Shawn Dugar of The Athletic reports. The third-year linebacker from Minnesota opened the Seahawks' week of practice with consecutive limited sessions, but Dugar's report Friday suggests he'll play through the issue in Week 11's divisional matchup. Mafe has recorded 23 total tackles, including 4.0 sacks, and one pass defended through seven appearances this season. Now that Mafe has returned to full health, he's expected to serve as Seattle's top edge rusher Sunday.
Mafe (knee) was a limited participant at the Seahawks' practice Wednesday, Bob Condotta of The Seattle Times reports. Mafe has been dealing with a knee issue for multiple months and the team continues to operate with caution surrounding the injury. The linebacker has played in each of the team's last four games, racking up 10 total tackles (six solo), including 1.0 sacks, while also forcing a fumble over that stretch. Mafe's participation at Thursday's practice session will provide more clarity for his availability for Sunday's matchup with the 49ers.
Mafe recorded three total tackles (two solo), including 1.0 sacks, while forcing a fumble in Sunday's 34-14 win over Atlanta. Mafe provided quite the highlight play early in the fourth quarter, stripping quarterback Kirk Cousins on a sack. Teammate Derick Hall returned the fumble for a touchdown, giving Seattle a 31-14 lead. Through five games this season, Mafe has compiled 20 total tackles, including 4.0 sacks, while forcing a fumble and notching a pass defensed.
Mafe (knee) was a full participant in Thursday's practice, John Boyle of the Seahawks' official site reports. Mafe has been battling through a knee issue the past couple of weeks. He opened the week as a limited participant in Wednesday's practice, but he was able to practice without restrictions Thursday and he should be good to go for Sunday's game against Atlanta. Mafe has accumulated 17 tackles (12 solo), including 3.0 sacks, and one pass breakup across four regular-season games.
Mafe (knee) was a limited participant in Wednesday's practice session, Curtis Crabtree of Fox 13 Seattle reports. Mafe returned from a two-game absence to suit up against the 49ers in Week 6, during which he logged four tackles (three solo) while playing a season-low 22 defensive snaps. Mafe may operate on a snap count Sunday against the Falcons, which would mean more opportunities for Dre'Mont Jones to play with the Seahawks' first-team defense.
Mafe (knee) is active for Thursday's contest against the 49ers. Mafe will make his return to the field after missing the team's last two games while nursing a knee injury. The 25-year-old will likely return to his starting role at strongside linebacker versus San Francisco. Over three games this season, Mafe has compiled 13 total tackles (nine solo), including 3.0 sacks, while also notching a pass defensed.
Mafe (knee) is listed as questionable ahead of Thursday night's matchup against the 49ers, Michael-Shawn Dugar of The Athletic reports. Head coach Mike Macdonald told reporters Wednesday that he expects Mafe to play in Week 6's divisional matchup despite his questionable designation, per Dugar. However, if Mafe is unable to suit up for the third consecutive time Thursday night, expect Trevis Gipson to see increased work with Seattle's first-team defense.
Mafe (knee) was estimated to be a full participant at the Seahawks' walkthrough Tuesday, John Boyle of the Seahawks' official site reports. Mafe missed the team's last two contests while nursing a knee injury, but he now looks to be ready to go for Week 6. The linebacker has recorded 13 total tackles (nine solo), including 3.0 sacks, over three games with Seattle this season.
