(Photo by Steph Chambers/Getty Images) GettyThe Seattle Seahawks will open their Super Bowl defense without starting safety Ty Okada, and they may have to dig into their practice squad for additional help in the secondary.Seattle ruled Okada out of Wednesday night’s season opener against the New England Patriots with a hamstring injury, according to the team’s final injury report shared Tuesday by multiple Seahawks reporters. Safety Nick Emmanwori, who has been working his way back from ankle surgery, is questionable. Wide receiver Tory Horton is also questionable with a hamstring injury.For Seattle, the biggest issue is not merely losing Okada for one game. It is how little margin for error the Seahawks already had at safety.Seattle kept only three safeties — Okada, Emmanwori and Julian Love — on its initial 53-man roster. With Okada unavailable and Emmanwori not yet guaranteed to play, a position that looked thin on paper now requires an immediate adjustment before the Patriots arrive at Lumen Field.The Seahawks have ruled out S Ty Okada (hamstring) for their opener tomorrow vs. New England. S Nick Emmanwori (ankle) and WR Tory Horton (hamstring) are questionable.— Brady Henderson (@BradyHenderson) September 8, 2026Seahawks Could Turn to Practice Squad After Ty Okada Hamstring Injury NewsSeattle prepared for this possibility.Like HEAVY’s content?Be sure to follow us.This article was originally published on HEAVYThe post Seattle Seahawks Announce Final Decision on Ty Okada for Patriots Game appeared first on HEAVY.
