Jackson Ragen - Standout defensive performer Ragen generated two tackles (two won) and eight clearances in Saturday's 1-0 victory versus St. Louis City SC.

Impact Ragen matched a team-high Saturday with eight clearances as Seattle earned a clean sheet with a 1-0 win at St. Louis City. Over his 90 minute shift, the central defender also logged his first two tackles (two won) of the season. Ragen has played the full 90 minutes across each of his first three appearances (three starts) in 2026 and, as one of MLS's top central defenders, should maintain his position in the heart of the Seattle backline so long as fitness allows.

Impact Yeimar is dealing with a right hamstring strain suffered in Sunday's match against St. Louis and will be out for the time being while he undergoes an MRI to determine the severity of the injury. The Colombian is an undisputed starter in central defense, so his absence is a major blow for his team, which is already dealing with several injuries. Kalani Kossa-Rienzi is likely to replace him in the back line in the upcoming matches.

Yeimar Gomez Andrade - Forced off against St. Louis Yeimar picked up an injury during the first half of Saturday's meeting with St. Louis City.

Impact Yeimar struggled to walk after leaving the pitch, suggesting he was dealing with a knock or muscle issue. He'll be questionable for the next visit to San Jose and could miss a few more games if his injury is significant. Right-back Kalani Kossa-Rienzi took his place after the incident, with Alexander Roldan moving to a central role.

Georgi Minoungou - On bench for St. Louis match Minoungou (foot) is on the bench Saturday against St. Louis.

Impact Minoungou has completed his recovery from the issue that sidelined him last weekend against Real Salt Lake. He's fit enough for limited minutes on the field, but even in optimal shape he's set to play a backup role behind Jesus Ferreira, Paul Rothrock (foot) and Snyder Brunell.

Kim Kee-hee - Another match out Kee-Hee (calf) is out for Saturday's match against Real Salt Lake, according to the MLS injury report.

Impact Kee-Hee was likely for Saturday but is still out, with the club taking the return cautiously. He is likely to only need another week of training or so before a full return takes place, likely to be an option against San Jose.

Paul Rothrock - Hopeful to avoid absence Rothrock (foot) is expected to be fine for Saturday's visit to St. Louis, according to coach Brian Schmetzer, Jackson Felts of 93.3 KJR radio reports.

Impact Rothrock has dealt with a knock during the week, but the team hopes he'll be able to play after being given an anti-inflammatory. He played the full 90 minutes in the last match after replacing the injured Jordan Morris (quadriceps) in the season opener. If he's indeed healthy to retain his starting spot, Rothrock should be a source of offensive stats after tallying three shots, seven crosses, one goal and one assist over 172 minutes of play.

Impact Rothrock took a knock to the foot in the last outing against Real Salt Lake and will need to be evaluated ahead of Saturday's showdown with St. Louis. The forward is shaping up as a late fitness call, with the decision hinging on how the foot responds over the next few days and whether he can get back to full-throttle team training. If he's forced to sit this one out, and with the front line already dealing with injury setbacks, Paul Arriola could be next man up and in line for an expanded role in the attack.

Georgi Minoungou - Working away from group Minoungou (foot) has done individual training apart from the rest of the squad during Tuesday's practice, Niko Moreno of Pulso Sports reports.

Impact Minoungou suffered a foot injury that forced him to miss the match against Real Salt Lake after playing 21 minutes during the season opener versus Colorado. He's now questionable for upcoming fixtures and could be an option as soon as he resumes full training. Otherwise, Jesus Ferreira might see increased action on the right wing.

Jordan Morris - Training separately Morris (quadriceps) took part in limited training work Tuesday as he continues to recover from his injury, Niko Moreno of Pulso Sports reports.

Impact Morris has been sidelined since the 2026 opening game and is still expected to miss a few more contests, but his return to practice is a good sign in his recovery process. The forward would be a likely starter when healthy after playing a consistent role over the final stretch of the previous campaign. However, Paul Rothrock should get more opportunities while Osaze Tafari De Rosario leads the front line for as long as Morris remains out.

Impact Dotson won't see his involvement limited after avoiding the concussion protocol despite leaving the previous match with a head injury. The midfielder will aim to make an impact through accurate passes and ball recovery stats while forming a holding midfield pairing alongside Cristian Roldan. Meanwhile, Snyder Brunell will have to wait for an opportunity on the bench.

Impact Kee-Hee looks fully past his calf issue after getting through Friday's training session with the squad and should be in the mix for Saturday's showdown against Real Salt Lake. That is a boost for the Sounders' back line, giving them added depth heading into the weekend. Still, he likely sits a step behind Yeimar Gomez and Jackson Ragen on the center-back depth chart as things stand.
