Bennett (knee) won't carry an injury designation into Sunday's game against the Cowboys, Gregg Bell of The Tacoma News Tribune reports.
EDGE Analysis
Bennett was a full practice participant Friday after sitting out earlier in the week. The Seahawks were likely expressing caution with their veteran defensive end, who looks to be ready to play Week 16.

Bennett (knee) won't practice Wednesday but is still expected to play Sunday against the Cowboys, Michael-Shawn Dugar of SeattlePI.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Bennett is experiencing swelling in his knee and his practice reps are simply being scaled back to keep him fresh for Sunday's game.

Bennett was a full participant at Friday's practice after failing to participant earlier in the week due to a knee injury, John Boyle of Seahawks.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Bennett was likely held out of practice on Wednesday and Thursday as a precaution with what appears to have been a minor knee issue, but he'll be good to go in Week 14 against the Jaguars. He's notched just one sack in the Seahawks' past four games, so he'll look to get back on track in Jacksonville.

Bennett had four tackles (three solo) and a sack Sunday against the 49ers.
EDGE Analysis
Bennett has now climbed to 7.5 sacks this season, but he averages less than three tackles per game. With a Sunday night matchup against Philly on the horizon, Bennett will have his work cut out for him versus QB Carson Wentz, who has been sacked just twice in his last three games.

Bennett had one assisted tackle and a sack in Sunday's loss the Redskins.
EDGE Analysis
Bennett increased his season sack total to 6.5, but was otherwise quiet against a patchwork Redskins' offensive line. The 31-year-old played 58 of 63 defensive snaps and didn't appear to aggravate his lingering foot injury, although he will likely see limited practice reps again this week.

Bennett recorded six tackles (four solo) and 1.5 sacks in Sunday's win over the Texans.
EDGE Analysis
Bennett spent the week leading up to Sunday's win dealing with plantar fasciitis in his right foot, but the defensive end didn't appear to be slowed down from the injury. Bennett's season sack total is now at 5.5 -- as the veteran is on pace to set a new career-high.

Bennett (foot) was a full practice participant Friday and won't carry an injury designation into Sunday's game against the Texans, Gregg Bell of The Tacoma News Tribune reports.
EDGE Analysis
It was reported earlier this week that Bennett is dealing with plantar fasciitis in his right foot, and he sat out practice until Friday's session. The 31-year-old did not record a tackle in Sunday's win over the Giants, and will look to bounce back against Deshaun Watson and the Texans, despite the injury.

Bennett is dealing with plantar fasciitis in his right foot, Gregg Bell of the Tacoma News Tribune reports.
EDGE Analysis
It isn't clear at this point if Bennett's injury -- which is described as a "pain-management issue" -- is a threat to his availability for Sunday's showdown with the Texans. While he was held out of practice Wednesday, Bennett could still make a return Thursday or Friday and still be cleared to play in time for Sunday's 4:05 PM EST kickoff. His effectiveness, though, could be compromised even if he does play. After all, he played 52 defensive snaps during last week's game against the Giants but failed to log a tackle or any other counting stat.

Bennett (heel) is active for Sunday's game against the Giants.
EDGE Analysis
Bennett opened the week as a nonparticipant in practice due to the injury, but after logging full sessions Thursday and Friday, he looks poised to take on a full workload Sunday. With four sacks through the Seahawks' first five games, Bennett is on pace to reach double figures in that category for the second time in his career.

Bennett (heel) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Giants, John Boyle of the Seahawks' official site reports.
EDGE Analysis
Friday's practice was only a walk-through, but Bennett was also a full participant Thursday so the questionable designation is a bit surprising. The 31-year-old is likely expected to play given his full practice participation, but Quinton Jefferson and Marcus Smith (ankle) would likely see an increased workload if he is forced to sit.
