Woolen (ribs) underwent X-rays, which came back negative, following Sunday's 30-25 win over the Rams, Curtis Crabtree of Fox 13 Seattle reports. Woolen exited Sunday's regular-season finale in the second half due to an injury to his ribs, but he appears to have avoided any major damage. The cornerback finished the 2024 campaign with 46 total tackles (32 solo), 14 passes defensed, including three interceptions, and a forced fumble over 15 games.
Woolen (ribs) is questionable to return to Sunday's game against the Rams. Woolen is iffy to return for the second half of Sunday's NFC West contest. With Tre Brown (knee) already ruled out for the rest of the contest and Woolen currently sidelined, Nehemiah Pritchett, Artie Burns and Devon Witherspoon will serve as the Seahawks' top corners.
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.
