Seattle Seahawks face injury concerns ahead of Super Bowl rematch with Patriots

The Seattle Seahawks and New England Patriots are set for a Week 1 rematch of the Super Bowl this Wednesday night. The Seahawks enter the season opener facing significant roster challenges due to injuries. Safety Ty Okada has been ruled out with a hamstring injury, and Nick Emmanwori is listed as questionable following offseason ankle surgery. Additionally, wide receiver Tory Horton is also questionable.

The Patriots enter the matchup following a revitalized offseason under head coach Mike Vrabel. After a strong 2025 campaign that saw them become AFC champions, the team has focused on protecting quarterback Drake Maye through offensive line adjustments. Key offseason moves included significant free agent spending and trades to bolster the roster.

On the coaching side for Seattle, Brian Fleury will make his debut as offensive coordinator, marking a significant milestone in his 20-year coaching career.
