Riq Woolen - NFL News, Rumors, & Updates

Good to go for divisional round Woolen (oblique) does not carry an injury designation into Saturday's NFC divisional-round game against the 49ers, Brady Henderson of ESPN.com reports.

Impact Woolen was limited in the first two practices of the week due to an oblique issue, but he faded an injury designation for Saturday's game after logging a full practice Thursday. The fourth-year pro ended the 2025 regular season with 41 tackles (33 solo) and 12 pass defenses (one interception) across 16 games.

Dealing with oblique issue Woolen (oblique) was a limited participant in Tuesday's practice, John Boyle of the Seahawks' official site reports.

Impact The Seahawks were on a bye for the NFC wild-card round, so Woolen may have picked up the injury against the 49ers in Week 18, when he logged two tackles (one solo) and one pass defense. The fourth-year pro will have two more opportunities to increase his practice participation ahead of Saturday's divisional-round clash against San Francisco.

Absent from injury report Woolen (knee) was not listed on Wednesday's practice report, Michael-Shawn Dugar of The Athletic reports.

Impact 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.

Exits Thursday due to knee injury Woolen is questionable to return to Thursday's Week 16 matchup against the Rams due to a knee issue.

Impact 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.

First INT of 2025 Woolen recorded two solo tackles and an interception in Sunday's 26-0 win over the Vikings.

Impact 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.
