The Seahawks placed Hankins (back) on the active/non-football injury list Wednesday, Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston reports.

EDGE Analysis

Head coach Mike Macdonald confirmed Wednesday that Hankins was diagnosed with a back injury, but there's optimism that the issue won't keep the veteran sidelined for the long term. Hankins opted to re-sign with the Seahawks in late April after a solid 2024 campaign in which he recorded 30 tackles (15 solo), including 1.0 sacks, and an interception in 17 regular-season games.

The Seahawks re-signed Hankins to a one-year deal Tuesday, Tom Pelissero of NFL Network reports.

EDGE Analysis

Hankins will return to Seattle where he racked up 30 tackles (15 solo), with 1.0 sacks, and an interception across 17 games played during the 2024 campaign. The 2013 second-round pick will likely compete with Byron Murphy (back) for the team's starting nose tackle spot.

Hankins finished the 2024 season with 30 total tackles (15 solo), including 1.0 sacks, and an interception over 17 games.

EDGE Analysis

Hankins built off of an impressive 2023 campaign with the Cowboys, appearing in all 17 regular-season games with the Seahawks in 2024, snatching his first career interception in the process. The 32-year-old is an unrestricted free agent heading into the offseason and he'll likely sign a one-year deal with his next destination for the fifth straight year.

Hankins recorded a sack in Seattle's 30-18 win over Arizona on Sunday.

EDGE Analysis

The veteran nose tackle has 25 total tackles (12 solo) and an interception in a limited role this season. Hankins played on 15 snaps Sunday, and he has not played on more than 40 in a game all year.

Hankins signed a contract with the Seahawks on Tuesday, Mike Garafolo of NFL Network reports.

EDGE Analysis

Hankins spent last season in Dallas starting 14 regular-season games and racking up 27 tackles (13 solo), including 3.0 sacks, and two pass breakups. His presence should strengthen the deep of Seattle's defensive line in 2024.

Hankins racked up 27 tackles (13 solo), including 3.0 sacks, and two pass breakups across 14 regular-season appearances with the Cowboys in 2023.

EDGE Analysis

Hankins missed three games down the stretch due to a high-ankle sprain, and he otherwise was unspectacular for Dallas while on the field. Now a pending unrestricted free agent and heading into his age-32 season, Hankins isn't necessarily a lock to secure another starting role for the 2024 campaign. His best prospects might be to re-sign with the Cowboys on a team-friendly deal.

Hankins (ankle) is active for Sunday's game against the Commanders.

EDGE Analysis

Hankins was a limited participant in all three practices this week, and he will make his return from a three-game absence due to a high-ankle sprain. He'll slide into the starting defensive tackle spot alongside Osa Odighizuwa for the Cowboys' regular-season finale.

Hankins (ankle) is listed as questionable ahead of Sunday's game against the Commanders.

EDGE Analysis

Hankins has missed the Cowboys' last three games with a high-ankle sprain, but after a week of limited practice sessions, he's got a shot at suiting up Sunday. If the 31-year-old is unable to make his return in Week 18, expect 2023 first-round pick Mazi Smith to see increased work on Dallas' defensive line.

Head coach Mike McCarthy told reporters Monday that Hankins (ankle) is expected to return to practice Wednesday after going through a workout Monday, Todd Archer of ESPN.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Hankins sat out for a third-straight week after sustaining an ankle injury in the Cowboys' Week 14 win over the Eagles. His practice participation this week will provide more clarity on his availability for the team's regular-season finale against the Commanders on Jan. 7.

Hankins (ankle) has been ruled out for Saturday's game against the Lions, Jon Machota of The Athletic reports.

EDGE Analysis

Hankins continue to nurse an ankle injury that occurred in Week 14 versus Philadelphia. He hasn't been able to play since and may not be close to a return given that he wasn't able to practice in any capacity again this week. Hankins had been gaining some traction as a pass rusher before getting hurt, tallying three sacks across the two games prior to the injury.
