After months of waiting through the offseason, through free agency, the draft and the doldrums of summer, the moment fans have been waiting for is just a day away.
Sunday the Seattle Seahawks will host the San Francisco 49ers at Lumen Field to open the 2025 regular season, with second-year head coach Mike Macdonald looking to extend the one-game winning streak he currently holds against, Kyle “I can’t close out the Super Bowl to save my life” Shanahan.
When the two teams take the field, Seattle will
have at its disposal the services of a pair of veterans elevated from the practice squad at positions where depth isn’t great.
As noted in the team announcement, the first of the players elevated is Quinton Bohanna, whose bulk in the middle will likely be needed as the team is without a true nose tackle on the roster, as Macdonald and the Seattle defense look to stop the Niners from controlling the game on the ground.
The Seahawks also elevated Shaquill Griffin to the gameday roster, adding depth in the secondary. Griffin, of course, entered the NFL as a third round pick of Seattle in the 2017 NFL Draft, before spending the last four seasons with the Jacksonville Jaguars, Houston Texans, Carolina Panthers and Minnesota Vikings.
And now it’s on to the gameday inactives Sunday afternoon.
