Teams have lost -8.9 EPA when targeting Woolen in coverage this season, a career-best | 2022: -0.5 EPA

Sits due to injury
Woolen was benched for Mike Jackson in Thursday's 31-13 loss to the 49ers, but head coach Pete Carroll told reporters Friday that he felt as if Woolen's shoulder was simply not in a position to do what the team needed, Curtis Crabtree of Fox 13 Seattle reports.
Analysis: Though the 24-year-old is dealing with a shoulder injury, the issue seems to be minor, as Carroll told reporters that he expects Woolen to return to his starting spot in Week 13 against the Cowboys. The second-year cornerback out of UTSA has had issues with tackling throughout the season, as he's had three or less tackles in seven of Seattle's 11 games thus far. Jackson could continue seeing increased work in the Seahawks' secondary if Woolen's shoulder issue continues to impair his ability to…read more

Snags interception in win
Woolen recorded two solo tackles, two pass deflections and an interception in Sunday's 24-20 win over the Browns.
Analysis: Woolen was able to pick off PJ Walker in the second quarter, registering his first interception of the season. His two pass deflections were also a season high, and the cornerback is now up to 18 tackles with four pass deflections and the interception over six active games in 2023.

Practices Thursday
Woolen (chest) was a full participant in Seattle's practice Thursday, John Boyle of the Seahawks' official site reports.
Analysis: The cornerback injured his chest in Week 2 and then missed Week 3. The second-year pro made the Pro Bowl as a rookie and has four tackles in two starts this year. Woolen is on track to play Monday against the Giants.

Has chance to return next week
Woolen (chest) has a good chance to return in Week 4 against the Giants, according to head coach Pete Carroll, Gregg Bell of The Tacoma News Tribune reports.
Analysis: Woolen suffered the injury during the team's Week 2 win over the Lions and was forced to miss the Week 3 victory over the Panthers. His potential return would certainly be a boost for the Seattle secondary, which is still dealing with multiple injuries and added Tre Brown (concussion) to the list Sunday.

Not playing Sunday
Woolen (chest) is inactive Sunday against the Panthers.
Analysis: Woolen was doubtful coming into the day, so his inability to suit up isn't necessarily a surprise. Tre Brown and Mike Jackson are both candidates to see extra snaps against Carolina.

Deemed doubtful
Woolen (chest) is listed as doubtful for Sunday's game against the Panthers, Gregg Bell of The Tacoma News Tribune reports.
Analysis: Woolen exited last week's victory over the Seahawks early after suffering a chest injury. Barring a quick turnaround, he does not appear on track to suit up. With Coby Bryant (toe) already ruled out, Tre Brown and Mike Jackson would be candidates for increased snaps should Woolen indeed get ruled out.

Misses practice Wednesday
Woolen (chest) didn't practice Wednesday, John Boyle of the Seahawks' official site reports.
Analysis: Woolen had to exit Week 2 early with the injury. "He's pretty sore," coach Pete Carroll said Wednesday. "It's going to be a pretty good recovery for him to get back." With Coby Bryant (toe) and Julian Love (hamstring) also missing practice Wednesday, the Seahawks could be severely shorthanded in Week 3 against the Panthers if none of them are able to gain clearance to play.

Injury isn't serious
Woolen is still sore Monday, but he is day-to-day after sustaining a chest injury during Sunday's 37-31 win at Detroit, John Boyle of the Seahawks' official site reports.
Analysis: Although that's good news for Seattle and Woolen, it's still up in the air whether he'll be available to suit up for Week 3. The Seahawks' injury reports throughout the week will provide more clarity on that front.

Suffers chest injury Sunday
Woolen is questionable to return to Sunday's game against the Lions due to a chest injury, John Boyle of the Seahawks' official site reports.
Analysis: Woolen went to the locker room for further evaluation after spending nearly an entire defensive series in the medical tent, per Brady Henderson of ESPN.com. If he's unable to return, Tre Brown and Coby Bryant would be candidates for increased snaps.

Back at practice
Woolen (knee) returned to team drills Saturday, Brady Henderson of ESPN.com reports.
Analysis: Woolen looks full healthy after being placed on the active/PUP list July 26 while recovering from knee surgery he underwent in May. The cornerback compiled 63 tackles, 16 pass deflections, six interceptions, two fumble recoveries and a defensive touchdown while playing in all 17 regular-season games during his impressive rookie campaign in 2022.

Still not practicing
Woolen (knee) is still not practicing in full during training camp despite coming off the PUP list Sunday, Gregg Bell of The News Tribune reports.
Analysis: Woolen is fully recovered from an arthroscopic knee procedure done in May, but the team is opting to bring him along slowly now that he's cleared to practice. Although he's not participating in full-team drills, he is taking part in walkthroughs, but the team is still hesitant to let him test his change of direction and cutting ability when reacting to receivers. Woolen is taking the patient approach in stride saying, "I know when the time comes it will be time for me to be out there, but so…read more

Passes physical
Woolen (knee) was activated from the active/PUP list Sunday, John Boyle of the Seahawks' official site reports.
Analysis: Woolen suffered the injury during OTAs and needed arthroscopic surgery to clean up his knee. Now healthy, Woolen will return to practice and work to build off his rookie campaign, which saw him record six interceptions and make it to the Pro Bowl.

PUP bound
Woolen (knee) was placed on the Seahawks' active/PUP list Wednesday, John Boyle of the team's official site reports.
Analysis: Head coach Pete Carroll told reporters in early June that he expected Woolen to be ready for camp, but as of now he still needs time to recover. The 2022 fifth-round selection had knee surgery in May to fix a cartilage issue that typically requires a four-to-six week recovery time, meaning his time on the PUP could be short. Woolen had a tremendous rookie season, recording 63 tackles, 16 pass breakups and six interceptions while finishing third in Defensive Rookie of the Year voting.

Expected back for training camp
Head coach Pete Carroll noted Thursday that Woolen (knee) is expected to be back for training camp, John Boyle of the Seahawks' official site reports.
Analysis: Woolen is coming off a productive rookie season with 63 tackles, six interceptions, two fumble recoveries and a defensive touchdown in 17 games. He underwent a knee procedure in May to repair a cartilage issue and at this stage is on track to be able to participate in training camp.

Expected back in 4-to-6 weeks
Woolen (knee) is expected to return to practice in 4-to-6 weeks, Bob Condotta of The Seattle Times reports.
Analysis: Woolen is recovering from a knee procedure, which he underwent to repair a cartilage issue. Even if he comes back on the long end of the timetable, he'll still have ample time to get ready for the 2023 campaign. The cornerback had a very impressive rookie season in 2022, recording 63 tackles, 16 pass deflections, six interceptions and two fumble recoveries while scoring also scoring a defensive touchdown.

Undergoes minor procedure
Woolen underwent arthroscopic knee surgery Tuesday and is expected to be sidelined until training camp, Adam Schefter and Brady Henderson of ESPN.com report.
Analysis: Woolen was selected by Seattle in the fifth round last year, and his six interceptions as a rookie tied for the league lead. The injury occurred while he was walking onto the practice field during OTAs last week, and while he currently doesn't seem to be in danger of missing the start of the 2023 season, the Seahawks will presumably be extremely cautious with their star youngster. In an effort to add some depth following Woolen's injury, Seattle re-signed Artie Burns to a one-year deal.

Makes DROY case
Woolen posted 63 tackles (46 solo), 16 pass breakups and six interceptions, including a pick-six, over 17 games during the regular season.
Analysis: Once viewed as a raw but uber-athletic prospect, Woolen showed he is actually a fine-tuned, potentially elite NFL cornerback from the start. Woolen switched to cornerback in college at UTSA, and he ran a 4.26 40-yard dash at 6-foot-4, 205 pounds. He started every game as a rookie and tied for the league lead with six interceptions and landed fourth with 16 pass breakups. He's in the Defensive Rookie of the Year conversation, and whether he wins it or not, Woolen appears to have a bright future…read more

Leading tackler for Seattle in win
Woolen recorded seven tackles (four solo), one pass defensed and one fumble recovery in Sunday's 23-6 win over the Jets.
Analysis: Woolen once again played all of Seattle's defensive snaps this past weekend against the Jets, but this time around, he paced the Seahawks with seven stops. The rookie cornerback is currently tied for the league lead with six interceptions on the campaign, and he'll have an opportunity to snag pick No. 7 in Week 18 versus the Rams.

Snares sixth interception
Woolen recorded seven tackles (six solo), three pass breakups and an interception in the 27-23 win over the Rams.
Analysis: Woolen picked off John Wolford deep in Seahawks territory late in the second quarter. The rookie out of UTSA has now posted 12 pass breakups and six interceptions through 12 games. He's a ball hawk, and he has made a legitimate case for Defensive Rookie of the Year thus far, although Jets CB Sauce Gardner is the likely front runner.

INT in four straight games
Woolen recorded five solo tackles, an interception, a pass breakup and a fumble recovery in Sunday's 19-9 win over the Cardinals.
Analysis: Woolen has now recorded an interception in four straight games. The rookie fifth-round pick was considered to be somewhat of a project considering he didn't start playing cornerback until his junior year at UTSA. However, he has already shown that he's skilled in coverage, and he possesses rare speed -- he ran a 4.26 40-yard dash -- that allows him to accelerate and catch up to any receiver if he makes the wrong read. Woolen has turned himself into an appealing IDP option and should certainly…read more

Records first career pick-six
Woolen recorded five tackles (four solo), a pass breakup and a pick-six in Sunday's 48-45 win over the Lions.
Analysis: Woolen jumped Jared Goff's pass over the middle early in the third quarter and showed off his 4.26 speed as he took it 40 yards to the house. This was his second interception in as many weeks, as the rookie looks like another late-round gem for head coach Pete Carroll. Woolen has secured the starting job and looks unlikely to give it up.

Grabs first career interception
Woolen recorded four tackles (three solo), one interception and one pass defensed in Sunday's 27-23 loss to the Falcons.
Analysis: The rookie cornerback snagged his first interception as a pro Sunday, but the team ultimately fell just short on the scoreboard. Woolen also played every defensive snap for Seattle in Week 3, as he's impressed the team's coaching staff early on during the 2022 campaign. On Sunday, he'll look to build off his strong efforts against the Lions, who could be without their top wideout in Amon-Ra St. Brown (ankle) and possibly Josh Reynolds (ankle).

Expected to start
Woolen is listed as the starting right cornerback on Seattle's depth chart, Bob Condotta of The Seattle Times reports.
Analysis: The rookie fifth-round pick out of University of Texas-San Antonio impressed the Seahawks coaching staff all training camp. Woolen features a unique combination of size and speed, as he ran a 4.26 40-yard dash at 6-foot-4, 210 pounds. He'll have a difficult test in Week 1 against the Broncos, as Russell Wilson will be throwing to Courtland Sutton and Jerry Jeudy.

Impressing in camp
Woolen started with the first-team defense during Saturday's team scrimmage, Bob Condotta of The Seattle Times reports.
Analysis: Sidney Jones sat out with a concussion, so Woolen received an opportunity with the starting defense. The honor is especially notable because fellow rookie Coby Bryant -- who has been drawing headlines in training camp -- worked with the second-team defense. The Seahawks initially expected Woolen to be a project. He possesses outstanding tools, as he features a 6-foot-4, 210-pound frame and a 4.26 40-yard dash. However, he converted to cornerback at University of Texas-San Antonio and played…read more
