The Seattle Seahawks are wrapping up their 2026 NFL preseason on the road against the Kansas City Chiefs, and all eyes are on quarterback Jalen Milroe, who’s set to start and play the entire night. After a tough run of injuries last week in Nashville, everyone in the Emerald City is crossing their fingers for a clean, injury-free game before the regular season grind.

Preseason Record Means Nothing, But We’re Still Watching Every Snap

Both the Hawks and the Chiefs roll into this final preseason showdown with an 0-2 record. While everyone knows preseason wins and losses mean absolutely nothing, the superstitious among us are definitely noting that no team has ever won the Super Bowl after a winless preseason. Tonight’s game at Lumen Field, broadcast on KING-5 at 5 pm PT, will be a showcase for third- and fourth-stringers. For the Chiefs, rookie Garrett Nussmeier from LSU is expected to see plenty of action, almost reigniting an old SEC rivalry vibe in this preseason finale.

Roster Spots and Health: That’s What’s On The Line

With the cut deadline just two days away, there are still crucial roster spots up for grabs. Players will be fighting hard to make their case, which always makes for exciting football, but the biggest concern for everyone in Seattle is simply avoiding more injuries. We’ve seen enough bumps and bruises already, and getting out of this game healthy is the absolute top priority. We need these guys ready to go.

This final preseason test is huge for those on the bubble, and for Milroe, it’s a chance to put a full game on tape. Let’s send our Hawks off into the regular season strong, healthy, and ready to dominate. Join the conversation with us over on Field Gulls or The FEED.
