The Seattle Seahawks are looking for an improved performance from linebacker Tyrice Knight in the 2026 season. After a promising rookie year in 2024 with 88 tackles, Knight's progress stalled in 2025, where he only recorded 57 tackles due to injuries and inconsistent play. Knight's role diminished as Drake Thomas emerged as a key player in Seattle's linebacker corps, finishing with 90 tackles. For 2026, Knight needs a strong training camp to challenge for a starting role and avoid setbacks that hindered him previously.
