Seahawks linebacker Tyrice Knight pushing for larger role on defense

Tyrice Knight, linebacker for the Seattle Seahawks, is making a strong push for more playing time during the current preseason. After a standout performance against the Dallas Cowboys, where he recorded 10 tackles, Knight aims to solidify his role on the defense. Following a training camp marked by a renewed focus and determination, Knight is eager to show he's more than just a special teams player. Last season, health issues limited his contributions, allowing Drake Thomas to take over as the starting inside linebacker. Knight's coaching staff recognizes his potential, with coach Mike Macdonald noting his strong performance and push for additional playing time ahead of the regular season next month.
