Dante Fowler Jr struggles for playing time with Seahawks pass rush
Summary

Dante Fowler Jr has only played 39 defensive snaps in three games for the Seattle Seahawks this season, comprising about 20% of the team’s overall snap count. This limited playing time contrasts sharply with other edge rushers on the squad, who have seen significantly more action. With Fowler predominantly deployed as a situational player, the Seahawks are leaning heavily on Derick Hall, Uchenna Nwosu, and DeMarcus Lawrence for their edge rush efforts. Concerns about Fowler's role in the team's defensive schemes may affect the overall effectiveness of Seattle's pass rush as they face tougher opponents later in the season.
