Seahawks Training Camp Standout Tyrice Knight Competing For Larger Role on Defense

The Seattle Seahawks’ first meaningful preseason action came against the Dallas Cowboys, and linebacker Tyrice Knight used it to press his case for a larger defensive role. In his third season with the team after being selected in the 2024 fourth round, Knight is trying to show he can do more than serve primarily as a special-teams contributor. After dealing with an offseason heart condition and knee issues last year, Knight lost the inside linebacker starting job to Drake Thomas, who took over by November. With a healthier offseason, Knight delivered a 10-tackle performance in Saturday’s preseason game and is aiming for more snaps as the regular season approaches next month.
