Seahawks fans, if you thought yesterday couldn’t get worse than that brutal 34-17 drubbing by the Bears, well, I have some news that might sting even more. While we’re all still trying to figure out what happened on the field, our rivals down south, the San Francisco 49ers, are out here grinding on their *off day*. Seriously. Tuesday, November 3, 2026, was a day off for them, but instead of chilling, they were reportedly working out defensive tackle Dominic Bailey. You gotta wonder if our guys are putting in that same kind of relentless effort, especially after that showing.
The Niners Are Already Looking For Answers
The 49ers are clearly not messing around. This isn’t just some casual look, either. Aaron Wilson reports on this workout, and it comes right after they lost defensive tackle Naquan Jones from their practice squad. Right now, McKinnley Jackson is the only other defensive tackle on their roster. Plus, CJ West is still on injured reserve. So, while we’re trying to shake off a gut-wrenching loss, a team we measure ourselves against is actively trying to fill holes and improve. It makes you think about how every team approaches the season.
Who Is Dominic Bailey and What Does He Bring?
So, who’s this Dominic Bailey guy they’re kicking the tires on? He’s a sixth-year senior from Tennessee, went undrafted in the 2026 NFL Draft. Listed at 6’3″, 270 pounds, he doesn’t exactly fit the mold of a traditional nose tackle like Jones or West. Bailey started all 12 games for the Vols and even played 109 snaps in the preseason for the Houston Texans, recording five solo tackles and three pressures. He hasn’t seen a single regular-season snap yet, but the Niners are still looking at him. It’s a clear signal that they’re not content to just wait around.
It’s a tough pill to swallow, Seattle. While we’re picking up the pieces from that demoralizing loss to Chicago, a key NFC rival is already out there, doing the work to shore up their roster. This isn’t just about one workout, it’s about the mindset. We need to see that same level of urgency and hunger from our squad if we want to compete in this league.
