RAYSHAWN JENKINS NEWS

Smaller role following IR stint Jenkins finished the 2024 regular season with 53 tackles (34 solo), including 2.0 sacks, and a fumble return touchdown across 13 games.

Impact Jenkins signed with the Seahawks in March of 2024 on a two-year, $12 million contract after spending the three previous seasons with the Jaguars. He started at safety alongside Julian Love and played every single defensive snap in the first six games of the regular season. Jenkins registered 38 tackles (26 solo) over that span, and his best play of the year came in Week 5 against the Giants, when he recovered fumble and returned in 102 yards for a touchdown. Jenkins was forced to go on injured reserve in mid-October after undergoing surgery on his hand, and when he returned in late November, he permanently lost his starting role at safety to Coby Bryant. Jenkins and Bryant are set to compete for the second starting safety spot alongside Love for the 2025 campaign when training camp begins in July.

Logs full practice Wednesday Jenkins (hand) was a full participant in Wednesday's practice, Michael-Shawn Dugar of The Athletic reports.

Impact Jenkins has been sidelined for Seattle's last four games due to a hand injury he suffered against San Francisco in Week 6. The injury prompted the Seahawks to place Jenkins on injured reserve, but his 21-day practice window to return from IR opened Wednesday, and head coach Mike Macdonald relayed that Jenkins will likely be able to play against the Cardinals on Sunday, per Brady Henderson of ESPN.com. Jenkins' return would likely mean that Coby Bryant would revert to a reserve role in the Seahawks' secondary.

Designated to return The Seahawks designated Jenkins (hand) to return from injured reserve Wednesday, Michael-Shawn Dugar of The Athletic reports.

Impact Jenkins has missed the Seahawks' last four games after likely sustaining a hand injury in Seattle's Week 6 loss to the 49ers. However, his 21-day practice window was opened Wednesday, suggesting that he's nearing a return to the field. The 30-year-old safety now has a chance to play in the Seahawks' Week 12 matchup against the Cardinals, but he must first be activated to Seattle's active roster.

Expected to return this season Head coach Mike Macdonald told reporters Friday that Jenkins (hand) is expected to play again this season, Gregg Bell of The Tacoma News Tribune reports.

Impact The 30-year-old underwent hand surgery on Oct. 11 and was placed on injured reserve Wednesday, but Macdonald's comments Friday indicate that Jenkins will likely return at some point this season. The veteran safety will be forced to miss Seattle's next four games after going on IR, with his earlier possible returning coming in Week 12 against the Cardinals. Expect K'Von Wallace to continue serving as the Seahawks' top strong safety until Jenkins returns.

Lands on IR with hand injury The Seahawks placed Jenkins on injured reserve Wednesday due to a hand injury, John Boyle of the team's official site reports.

Impact Jenkins hasn't missed a defensive snap this season, even while wearing a club on his hand the last two games. However, it appears the injury has become severe enough that a multi-week absence is necessary for the 2017 fourth-round pick. Jenkins will be forced to miss at least the next four regular-season games, and the earliest he can return is Week 12 against the Cardinals on Nov. 24. While Jenkins is sidelined, K'Von Wallace is likely to step up as the Seahawks' starting strong safety alongside free safety Julian Love.
