Tyrice Knight is poised to take on a more significant role in the Seahawks' defense following the release of Tyrel Dodson. Coach Mike Macdonald expressed confidence in Knight's potential to step up at weakside linebacker, indicating that the team is looking for fresh contributions to improve their defensive performance. This opportunity comes as the Seahawks aim to address their struggles, particularly in defending against the run, and Knight's performance will be crucial as the season progresses.
