This is it, Seattle! NFL preseason Week 3 is officially here, and for our Hawks, it’s the LAST chance to make a statement before the regular season kicks off. This isn’t just another exhibition; it’s the final evaluation for every single player and team.
The Ultimate Tryout: Seahawks Fight for Spots
Every snap, every tackle, every route run against the Chiefs on Friday is HUGE. The source tells us this is the last opportunity to evaluate teams, rookies, and players battling for roster spots, and for our guys, that means everything. Coach Mike Macdonald and OC Brian Fleury are looking for those difference-makers, the guys who are ready to contribute when it counts. Think about Jaxon Smith-Njigba, Rashid Shaheed, or Cooper Kupp, not to mention Sam Darnold. They are all getting their final live-game reps, proving they belong in the Emerald City and earning their place on the squad. This is where rookies show they can hang, and veterans on the bubble fight to secure their spot. The intensity this week is going to be through the roof because these roster decisions are critical for the team’s regular season.
Beyond Lumen Field: Other Games to Watch
While our Hawks are obviously the main event for us fans, the league has a full 16-game slate running from Thursday through Saturday. Thursday night brings some interesting matchups, with the Steelers visiting the Bills and the Patriots facing the Browns as the highlights. On Friday, alongside our big Seahawks vs. Chiefs game, you’ve also got the Ravens vs. Commanders and the Eagles vs. Bengals kicking off. Then, Saturday rounds out the week with games like the Rams vs. Chargers. These games are also massive for every other team trying to nail down their final rosters and get a last look at their talent before the real season begins.
