Witherspoon recorded 79 tackles (56 solo), 16 pass breakups, 3.0 sacks and a pick-six across 14 games during the 2023 season.

EDGE Analysis

Witherspoon's physicality was a welcomed addition to a Seattle defense that had seemingly lost its identity over the past couple of years. The No. 5 overall pick made a statement in Week 4 with two sacks and a pick-six against the Giants, and he led the Seahawks in pass breakups. His 8.0 tackles for loss also ranks fourth on the team. Witherspoon will be a starter again in 2024, and he should be a solid fantasy contributor regardless of who the head coach is.

Witherspoon had three solo tackles in Sunday's 30-23 loss to the Steelers.

EDGE Analysis

Witherspoon returned from a two-game absence due to a hip injury he sustained in Week 14 against the 49ers. He played 35 defensive snaps Sunday as he ceded time to Mike Jackson, who played all 71 snaps on defense and finished with five total tackles. Witherspoon should see the field more in the Seahawks' regular-season finale against the Cardinals -- barring any setback during practice -- as Seattle still has a chance to make the playoffs.

Witherspoon (hip) is active Sunday against the Steelers.

EDGE Analysis

Witherspoon has missed two straight games while recovering from a hip pointer, but the rookie corner's absences will end there. His return to the secondary should be good news for the Seahawks when they take the field against Pittsburgh in Week 17.

The Seahawks are hopeful Witherspoon (hip) will be able to play in Sunday's game against the Steelers and that there is a 60/40 chance he'll be ready, Jeremy Fowler of ESPN.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Witherspoon is attempting to return from a two-game absence. Doing so would be beneficial for both Seattle's playoff push and his Defensive Rookie of the Year case. If he ultimately does not get the green light, Mike Jackson and Tre Brown would again be candidates to see increased snaps.

Witherspoon (hip) is listed as questionable ahead of Sunday's game against the Steelers, Bob Condotta of The Seattle Times reports.

EDGE Analysis

Witherspoon was able to log a week of limited practice sessions after missing Seattle's last two games, and he's now got a shot at suiting up in Week 17. If the 2023 first-round pick is unable to return to the field Sunday, expect both Mike Jackson and Tre Brown to see an uptick in snaps in the Seahawks' secondary.

Witherspoon (hip) was considered to be a limited participant at Seattle's walkthrough Wednesday, John Boyle of the Seahawks' official site reports.

EDGE Analysis

Witherspoon has missed the last two contests due to a hip injury, but head coach Pete Carroll said Wednesday that the cornerback was "bouncing around pretty good in the walkthrough". The cornerback will have two more practice sessions to increase his workload this week ahead of the team's matchup with Pittsburgh on Sunday.

Witherspoon (hip) is inactive for Sunday's Week 16 clash against Tennessee.

EDGE Analysis

Witherspoon played just seven snaps due to injuring his hip against San Francisco in Week 14, and he's now set to miss his second game since then. The rookie cornerback didn't practice at all this week, so there's uncertainty about whether he'll be able to return for next Sunday's matchup versus Pittsburgh. While Witherspoon has been out, Mike Jackson has seen a substantial bump in defensive snaps.

Witherspoon (hip) did not participate in Friday's practice, Michael-Shawn Dugar of The Athletic reports.

EDGE Analysis

With Witherspoon being a DNP in Friday's practice, it seems likely that he will miss his second straight game. Mike Jackson and Tre Brown are candidates for increased work at cornerback alongside starter Riq Woolen if Witherspoon is unable to suit up against the Titans on Sunday.

Witherspoon (hip) was estimated as a non-participant in Wednesday's practice walkthrough, Bob Condotta of The Seattle Times reports.

EDGE Analysis

Witherspoon suffered a hip injury against the 49ers in Week 14 and sat out Monday's win over the Eagles. Per John Boyle of the team's official site, the rookie cornerback is dealing with a hip pointer but is showing improvement. Mike Jackson has seen a big increase in defensive snaps while Witherspoon has been absent and would presumably have a significant role again Sunday versus Tennessee if Witherspoon is ruled out again.

Witherspoon (hip) is listed as inactive for Monday's matchup with the Eagles, John Boyle of the Seahawks' official website reports.

EDGE Analysis

Witherspoon was questionable with a hip injury heading into the evening and ultimately did not get the green light. In his absence, Mike Jackson is the likely candidate to fill in at cornerback.
