Jacardia Wright sparked a 69-yard TD and finished with 81 yards, and edge rusher Connor O’Toole contributed 1.5 sacks.

Seattle lost 17-7 to Dallas in a preseason game that exposed depth questions. Montorie Foster played a team-high 41 offensive snaps, led in receptions and yards, and scored Seattle’s lone TD, but with no special-teams reps his roster chances could be affected. Tory Horton sat as an established starter, while Bryce Cabeldue and Elijah Arroyo saw limited exposure (Arroyo logged 41 snaps into the fourth quarter). On defense, A.J. Finley and Bud Clark started at safety with Finley making big plays; Rodney Thomas II joined in later. The edge group featured O’Toole, Ivey, and Morris in the first half, with Knight active on the edge. rookies Fuller and Dansby had limited early action as Jean-Charles, Pritchett, and Igbinoghene handled first-half duties. Seattle heads to Nashville for a joint practice with the Titans.
