Dunlap posted four solo tackles and three sacks in Tuesday's 20-10 loss to the Rams.
EDGE Analysis
Dunlap has had a quiet year, posting 21 tackles (11 solo), five pass breakups and 1.5 sacks before Week 15. This was by far his best performance of the season, and it was the first time a Seahawk posted three sacks in a game since 2015. Dunlap will still be tough to depend on for fantasy purposes, though the Week 16 matchup against Justin Fields and the Bears is intriguing.

Dunlap (toe) doesn't have an injury designation for Thursday's game against the Rams, John Boyle of the Seahawks' official site reports.
EDGE Analysis
Dunlap suffered a sprained toe during Sunday's win against the 49ers, but he practiced fully Wednesday and avoided the questionable tag. The 32-year-old has only three tackles while playing a rotational role on the defensive line through the first four games of 2021.

Coach Pete Carroll said Monday that Dunlap sprained his toe during Sunday's win over the 49ers, Michael-Shawn Dugar of The Athletic reports.
EDGE Analysis
The injury doesn't appear to be serious, but Carroll added that it'll be "hard" for Dunlap to make the quick turnaround to be healthy for Thursday night. Kerry Hyder would likely step up if the 32-year-old has to miss any time.

Dunlap suffered a toe injury in Sunday's game against the 49ers, Bob Condotta of The Seattle Times reports.
EDGE Analysis
It is unknown precisely when the issue started, but Dunlap didn't register any stats in the box score. More tests are surely forthcoming, and Kerry Hyder could step in if the 32-year-old needs to miss any time.

Dunlap signed a two-year, $16.6 million contract with the Seahawks on Thursday, Adam Schefter of ESPN.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Dunlap racked up five sacks in eight games with Seattle after being acquired from the Bengals via trade, but the Seahawks cut him to avoid his $14 million cap hit this offseason. The two sides renegotiated and settled on this two-year deal for the pass rusher, which includes $8.5 million in guaranteed money.

The Seahawks will release Dunlap on Monday, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.
EDGE Analysis
Dunlap would have cost $14 million in terms of cap space if the Seahawks kept him around for 2021, making him a foreseeable cap casualty. That said, Dunlap's release shouldn't be misinterpreted as a reflection of his performance in Seattle last season. The veteran defensive end got off to a slow start with the Bengals, but upon being traded to the Seahawks in late October he immediately looked back in prime form. Over the final eight games of the regular season -- all with Seattle -- Dunlap notched five sacks. As a free agent, he should draw interest from teams in need of pass rush.

Dunlap finished the 2020 season with 32 tackles, six sacks and four pass breakups over 15 games between the Bengals and the Seahawks.
EDGE Analysis
Dunlap struggled over the first seven games with the Bengals, as he generated just one sack in that stretch. After being traded to the Seahawks in late October, Dunlap immediately looked like his old self with five sacks over the final eight regular-season games. Despite only playing half of the season in Seattle, Dunlap finished fourth on the team in sacks. The three-year, $45 million contract he signed with the Bengals in August 2018 expires in March, and it's unclear if the Seahawks will be able to retain him for 2021.

EDGE Analysis
Dunlap practiced just once during the week, logging a limited session Friday. According to Mike Garafolo of NFL Network, the veteran defensive end is slated for a limited role in Week 15, specifically as a situational pass rusher.

Dunlap (foot) is questionable for Sunday's game versus the Football Team, John Boyle of the Seahawks' official site reports.
EDGE Analysis
Dunlap returned to practice Friday, marking his first appearance of the week. The veteran defensive end worked in a limited fashion. According to Brady Henderson of ESPN.com, coach Pete Carroll is optimistic that Dunlap will play Sunday, but he'll be closely monitored leading up to the 1:00 p.m. ET kickoff. If he's unable to play through the injury, Rasheem Green, Alton Robinson and L.J. Collier should all see increases in their respective snap counts.

Dunlap (foot) is inactive for Sunday's matchup against the Jets.
EDGE Analysis
The midseason trade acquisition was unable to participate in practice all week, though he still carried a questionable tag into the weekend. Now officially devoid of one of its top pass-rushing options for Week 14, Seattle will turn to Jamal Adams, Benson Mayowa and Jarran Reed as its main pressure generators.
