Seahawks' Milroe Makes Case in Tie, Wright's Roster Hopes Fade
The Seattle Seahawks tied the Kansas City Chiefs 9-9 in their preseason finale, with quarterback Jalen Milroe completing 16 of 26 passes for 223 yards and a touchdown. Running back Jacardia Wright struggled, managing just 33 yards on 15 carries, likely hurting his roster chances. Cornerback Trevon Diggs made an impact in his Seahawks debut, intercepting a pass.
Milroe's performance marked a significant step in his preseason development, as his third-quarter touchdown drive showcased his ability to sustain possessions and finish in the red zone. His dual-threat production, including 20 rushing yards, may factor into Seattle's final roster decisions ahead of Sunday's deadline.
Wright's inefficient night came after a touchdown against Tennessee had raised his profile, but the running back room remains crowded with four backs ahead of him. Diggs, meanwhile, made an immediate impression in limited action, while Myers' missed extra point and last-second field goal attempt left the team settling for a tie rather than a win.
This preseason finale may influence roster decisions that ripple through players' careers, as fringe candidates like Wright face uncertain futures while performers like Milroe strengthen their standing. For fans, the tie offers a preview of depth-chart battles and special teams reliability heading into the regular season. Myers' struggles could raise concerns about consistency in close games, potentially shaping expectations for Seattle's opener against New England.
