Impact Mayowa was inactive for Week 3, but he appeared on track to return in Week 4 after logging a full practice Wednesday. However, the 30-year-old defensive end has now suffered a setback and will be inactive for the second straight week. Darrell Taylor and Alton Robinson both saw increased snaps during Mayowa's absence against the Vikings and should garner similar workloads against the 49ers.

Inks two-year pact Mayowa signed a two-year contract worth up to $8.8 million with the Seahawks on Tuesday, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.

Impact Mayowa finished third on the Seahawks with six sacks in 2021, so he'll return to the team for an encore. The 29-year-old's playing time tapered off a bit toward the end of the season, but he still started in nine of his 13 appearances. The Seahawks also signed Kerry Hyder to a three-year, $16.5 million contract Tuesday, so Mayowa will need to beat out L.J. Collier (ankle) and possibly Alton Robinson for a starting job in 2021.

Rings up six sacks in 2020 Mayowa posted 24 tackles, six sacks, three pass breakups and two forced fumbles over 13 regular-season games in the 2020 season.

Impact Mayowa was an immediate boost to the Seahawks' pass rush, as he finished third on the team with six sacks and led the team with 14 quarterback hits. Despite missing three games, Mayowa logged a career-high 571 snaps on defense. He'll turn 30 years old in training camp next season, and it remains to be seen if he'll be re-signed. The Seahawks could also lose Carlos Dunlap in free agency, so they may need to keep Mayowa around if they're not comfortable with Rasheem Green, L.J. Collier and Alton Robinson taking on larger roles.
