Seahawks rookie report: Byron Murphy looks promising. Who else will step up?

Seahawks rookie report: Byron Murphy looks promising. Who else will step up?

The Seahawks' defensive rotation this week against Atlanta will be interesting as both Brown and Woolen missed practice on Wednesday, leaving Pritchett likely to be tested early and often by quarterback Kirk Cousins. How Pritchett responds could influence the coaching staff's view of him for the rest of the season. Dee Williams, an undrafted rookie cornerback, has played in 75 of his snaps this season on special teams. He is averaging 27.7 yards per kickoff return and 8.1 yards per punt return. The Seahawks have one of the league's worst special teams units right now, so it would not be a surprise if coordinator Jay Harbaugh considered experimenting with other options.
