Wagner (knee) was a non-participant at Wednesday's practice, Brady Henderson of ESPN.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Wagner bruised his knee during last Thursday's loss to the Rams, and he's not practicing to begin the week. Coach Pete Carroll previously said the team wasn't concerned about the availability of the star linebacker, so he should be expected to play at Pittsburgh this weekend until the team indicates otherwise.

Wagner picked up a knee injury during Thursday's 26-17 loss to the Rams, Bob Condotta of The Seattle Times reports.
EDGE Analysis
Coach Pete Carroll said Wagner "banged" his knee during that contest, but the Seahawks aren't concerned about the availability of their star middle linebacker for Sunday's game in Pittsburgh. Wagner is coming off a season-low four tackles versus L.A., so he'll look to get back to the player that logged double digits in each of the team's first four outings, including a whopping 20 in Week 2 against the Titans. That's assuming he gets through Week 6 prep unscathed.

Wagner notched 10 tackles (five solo) and one pass deflection during Sunday's 28-21 win over the 49ers.
EDGE Analysis
Wagner is a perennial tackling machine, so it's not exactly surprising to see him beginning the 2021 season on fire, but four straight games with double-digit stops is impressive nonetheless. With another divisional matchup on deck Week 5, against the Rams, Wagner will remain a must-start IDP option.

Wagner posted 11 tackles (four solo) in Sunday's 30-17 loss to the Vikings.
EDGE Analysis
This was a season low for Wagner, who has racked up a league-high 44 stops through three contests. He also has added a sack and a pass breakup. Wagner is a must-start in IDP leagues in what could be a record-setting season.

Wagner recorded 20 tackles (16 solo) and a sack in Sunday's 33-30 loss to the Titans.
EDGE Analysis
Wagner set a franchise record and a career high in Week 2 with this massive tackling performance. Through two weeks, Wagner has produced 33 tackles, a sack and a pass breakup. He's a surefire IDP starter as long as he's healthy.

Wagner recorded 13 tackles -- one for a loss -- and a pass breakup in Sunday's 28-16 win over the Colts.
EDGE Analysis
Wagner hit double-digits in the tackle department six times last year, and he's off to another hot start in 2021 after leading the Seahawks in stops during the season opener. He's a surefire starter in Week 2 when Derrick Henry and the Titans come to town.

Wagner (knees) wasn't listed on the Seahawks' injury report Wednesday, John Boyle of the Seahawks' official site reports.
EDGE Analysis
After a preseason in which Wagner didn't see a snap, he underwent a blood-spinning treatment in his knee joints, which apparently is something he's done before each of the past five campaigns. With his ability avoid the first Week 1 injury report entirely, he's set to face the Colts on the road Sunday. During the aforementioned quintet of seasons, he averaged nearly 149 tackles and 2.6 sacks per 16 games played.

Wagner isn't practicing this week after receiving a blood-spinning treatment in his knee joints, but he's expected to be back at practice next week, Gregg Bell of The Tacoma News Tribune reports.
EDGE Analysis
Wagner has apparently undergone the procedure each of the past five years, so there isn't much concern regarding his availability for the Sept. 12 opener at Indianapolis. The 31-year-old was a machine in the middle of Seattle's defense again last season, racking up 138 tackles (81 solo), three sacks and one fumble recovery in 16 games.

Wagner recorded 138 tackles, three sacks and eight pass breakups over 16 games during the 2020 season.
EDGE Analysis
Wagner enjoyed his best performance of the season during the 30-20 wild-card loss to the Rams, registering 16 stops and a sack. This was Wagner's fifth straight season with more than 130 tackles, and he was named first-team All-Pro in each of those campaigns. The 30-year-old linebacker has two years remaining on his contract and will carry a $17.5 million cap hit in 2021. Wagner will nevertheless be a focal point in Seattle next season, if not one of the only bright spots on the defense if the team doesn't bring in reinforcements.

Wagner made six tackles (three solo) in Sunday's 26-23 win over the 49ers.
EDGE Analysis
Wagner put together yet another dominant season. The All-Pro linebacker posted 138 tackles, marking the fifth straight season where he exceeded 130 stops. Wagner added three sacks, eight pass breakups and a fumble recovery as well. A focal point of Seattle's defense, Wagner shows no signs of slowing down with a playoff game against the Rams on deck.
