The Seattle Seahawks revealed a new injury concern 11 days ahead of their return to the Super Bowl.

Report: Two teams interviewing Seahawks OC Kubiak a second time

Linebacker Ernest Jones IV, a key member of Seattle’s “Dark Side” defense, was listed on the team’s injury report for Wednesday as a non-participant in practice with a chest injury. The injury report was an estimation, as the Seahawks did not actually hold a practice.

The 26-year-old Jones has been generally healthy this season, especially compared to 2024 when he had lingering elbow and knee concerns throughout the year. He has been on injury reports for illness and rest reasons over the past month, but had not been listed with an injury designation since he missed a pair of games in November with a knee issue.

Jones tied for second in the NFL in the regular season with five interceptions in 15 games. He also tied for 18th in the league with 126 total tackles.

Reserve offensive tackle Amari Kight was the only Seahawks player listed as a DNP on Wednesday’s practice report.

Linebacker Chazz Surratt, who was designated to return from injured reserve last week from an ankle injury, was listed as a full participant.

Seattle had nine players listed as limited, including quarterback Sam Darnold with the oblique injury he’s dealt without throughout the playoffs. The full list of limited Seahawks is:

• OT Charles Cross (foot)
• FB Robbie Ouzts (neck)
• WR Jake Bobo (hand)
• QB Sam Darnold (oblique)
• OT Josh Jones (ankle/knee)
• FB Brady Russell (hand)
• S Julian Love (shoulder)
• LB Drake Thomas (shoulder)
• TE Eric Saubert (hamstring)

The New England Patriots, Seattle’s opponent in the Super Bowl, also shared an injury report that was an estimation, with five players listed as non-participants for practice. Quarterback Drake Maye (right shoulder) was one of two Patriots listed as limited.

All that being said, the Seahawks and Patriots have plenty of time to rest up before the Super Bowl at 3:30 p.m. on Sunday, Feb. 8.
