Seahawks make decision on CB Riq Woolen status ahead of Sunday's Jaguars game
The Seattle Seahawks will be without cornerback Riq Woolen in Sunday's game against the Jacksonville Jaguars, as the team officially downgraded him from "doubtful" to "out" on Saturday afternoon.
Woolen's absence will add to Seattle's secondary woes, as cornerback Devon Witherspoon (knee) and safety Julian Love both (hamstring) also unlikely to play with injuries. Woolen suffered a concussion in last week's loss to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers and hasn't been cleared through the NFL's protocol system.
To take up the slack for three of its top secondary defenders, the Seahawks have elevated cornerback Shaquill Griffin and safety Jerrick Reed II from the practice squad. A former Pro Bowler, this will be Griffin's second game this season.
Cornerbacks Josh Jobe, Derion Kendrick and Nehemiah Pritchett might also be pressed into more duty Sunday against quarterback Trevor Lawrence and the upstart 4-1 Jaguars.
"Shaq could be part of the plan based off of what's going on, yeah," Seahawks' head coach Mike Macdonald said Friday. "I love having Shaq out there because he competes. He attacks all the mental stuff, he knows it, he's got a great attitude, and he competes. We can go into games with that for sure."
Reed has played in one game this defense, on special teams.
Is Taylor Swift at Chiefs vs. Lions today? Updates on if star is watching Travis Kelce on 'Sunday Night Football'
The Kansas City Chiefs are gearing up for their third primetime game in six weeks when they host the surging 4-1 Detroit Lions on "Sunday Night Football." The 2-3 Chiefs are struggling, coming off a gut-wrenching 31-28 loss on Monday night — and they are 0-3 in one-score games this season, a stark departure from their usual late-game dominance.
Amid the on-field turbulence, one off-field question looms over Arrowhead: will Taylor Swift make her first confirmed appearance of the 2025 season? The superstar has kept her attendance under wraps this year, though Chiefs games were a lucky charm for her and the team in the previous two seasons.
Kansas City enters the Week 6 showdown coming off Monday night’s loss to the Jacksonville Jaguars, where Swift’s fiancé, Travis Kelce, hauled in seven receptions for 61 yards and a touchdown. So far this season, Kelce has 22 receptions for 223 yards and two scores.
With the Chiefs’ aura of invincibility showing cracks, this may be the perfect moment for Swift to show up and try to help the reigning champions reclaim their form.
Here’s the latest on Swift’s potential attendance and predictions for how her presence could impact Kansas City’s critical matchup.
