Woolen (knee) was not listed on Wednesday's practice report, Michael-Shawn Dugar of The Athletic reports.
EDGE Analysis
Woolen injured his knee during the Seahawks' Week 16 overtime win over the Rams. He received an MRI on the knee Friday, but his absence from Wednesday's injury report indicates that he was a full practice participant and on track to play against the Panthers on Sunday. Woolen has accumulated 18 tackles (13 solo) and eight pass defenses (one interception) across the eight games since Seattle's Week 8 bye.

Woolen (knee) and safety Coby Bryant (knee) are getting MRIs on Friday, Curtis Crabtree of Fox 13 Seattle reports.
EDGE Analysis
The Seahawks won Thursday's matchup against the Rams but lost two starting defensive backs along the way. Seahawks coach Mike Macdonald didn't have an update Friday morning apart from saying that Woolen, Bryant and unnamed others are scheduled for MRIs.

Woolen is questionable to return to Thursday's Week 16 matchup against the Rams due to a knee issue.
EDGE Analysis
Woolen is one of three Seattle defensive backs who have exited the contest -- Nick Emmanwori is being evaluated for a concussion, and Coby Bryant has been ruled out due to a knee injury. Josh Jobe, Nehemiah Pritchett and Ty Okada are consequently all in the game, which has gone to overtime.

Woolen recorded two solo tackles and an interception in Sunday's 26-0 win over the Vikings.
EDGE Analysis
Woolen hasn't posted more than three tackles in a game since Week 3, and this was his first interception of the season. His snap counts have been slipping lately, too, as he has played less than 75 percent of the defensive snaps in each of the last three games. The fourth-year cornerback will be difficult to trust in fantasy moving forward.

Woolen (concussion) does not carry an injury designation into Monday's game against the Texans, Bob Condotta of The Seattle Times reports.
EDGE Analysis
Woolen registered an FP-LP-FP practice log this past week, and his lack of an injury tag indicates that he has cleared the league's five-step concussion protocol heading into Monday's game. His return will mean less snaps in the secondary for Nehemiah Pritchett and Derion Kendrick.

Woolen (concussion) was a limited participant at practice Friday, Michael-Shawn Dugar of The Athletic reports.
EDGE Analysis
Woolen was a full participant at practice Thursday, so it's not a great sign that he only managed a limited session Friday. Unless he's able to get back to practicing in full Saturday, he'll likely be given an injury designation for Monday's game versus the Texans. Then, even if he does take that step forward, he'll still need to clear the league's concussion protocol before getting the green light to play.

Woolen (concussion) was a full participant in practice Thursday, John Boyle of the Seahawks' official site reports.
EDGE Analysis
The cornerback missed Seattle's Week 6 win over Jacksonville after suffering the concussion during the team's Week 5 loss to Tampa Bay. While Woolen appears on track to play this week, he'll still need to clear the league's concussion protocol before Monday's matchup with the Texans. The fourth-year pro played on more than 90 percent of the defensive snaps in each of Seattle's first four games of 2025.

Woolen (concussion) has been ruled out for Seattle's game versus Jacksonville on Sunday, John Boyle of the team's official site reports.
EDGE Analysis
Woolen will miss his first game of the season after suffering a concussion in the Week 5 loss to Tampa Bay. The 26-year-old will have to clear the league's concussion protocol before he's eligible to return to the field. The Seahawks could be without three of their top defensive backs for Sunday's matchup, as Devon Witherspoon (knee) and Julian Love (hamstring) are both listed as doubtful.

Woolen (concussion) is doubtful for Sunday's game against the Jaguars, Bob Condotta of The Seattle Times reports.
EDGE Analysis
Woolen suffered a concussion during Seattle's Week 5 win. He's turned in three limited practices but likely hasn't passed the league's protocols yet. If he can't play in Week 6, a Week 7 return looks likely.

Woolen (concussion) was a limited participant at practice Thursday, Gregg Bell of The Tacoma News Tribune reports.
EDGE Analysis
Woolen has now logged back-to-back limited practices to open the week after suffering a concussion in the team's Week 5 loss to the Buccaneers. The cornerback remains in concussion protocol, and he'll have one more chance to log a full practice before Sunday's matchup with Jacksonville.
