The Seattle Seahawks will host the Kansas City Chiefs on Friday night at Lumen Field, marking their second preseason game under new head coach Mike Macdonald. With most starters expected to play significant time, the game promises to be a pivotal test for the team’s new-look offense.
Coach Macdonald emphasized that while some players may not get substantial playing time, the focus will be on seeing the full-strength lineup in action. This means fans can expect to see the Seahawks’ starting quarterback Sam Darnold and receivers Jaxon Smith-Njigba and Cooper Kupp, among others, take to the field.
The battle for roster spots is also heating up, particularly at receiver, where rookie Tory Horton is vying with veteran Marquez Valdes-Scantling. Meanwhile, cornerback Josh Jobe faces a challenge from Shaquill Griffin and Nehemiah Pritchett, who have been impressing in practice and last week’s game.
The Seahawks’ defensive line, led by Leonard Williams and Jarran Reed, is also expected to see significant playing time. Young linemen like Mike Morris and Tyreke Smith will look to build on their performances against the Raiders and showcase their skills under the lights.
As the team heads into Week 2 of the preseason, fans can expect an exciting display of talent and competition from the Seahawks’ roster. With the game set for 7 p.m. PT at Lumen Field, don’t miss this opportunity to see your favorite players in action.
