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.

Witherspoon (hip) is questionable to suit up against the Eagles on Monday, Curtis Crabtree of Fox 13 Seattle reports.
EDGE Analysis
Witherspoon was hurt in the first quarter of last week's loss to San Francisco and was unable to return. He didn't practice at all during Week 15 prep, but head coach Pete Carroll indicated Saturday that he is "hoping" the rookie cornerback will be able to play Monday. If Witherspoon can't suit up, Mike Jackson figures to slide into a starting role.

Witherspoon (hip) did not practice Thursday, Brady Henderson of ESPN.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Witherspoon hasn't practiced since suffering the injury in Sunday's loss to the 49ers. With the Seahawks not playing until Monday, he'll have the benefit of an extra day to recover, but he'll likely need to get back on the field in some capacity Friday or Saturday to be able to play in Week 15 against the Eagles.
