Sunday night lights will illuminate a clash between the Seattle Seahawks and the Tennessee Titans, kicking off at 8 p.m. Eastern Time on FOX. The preseason matchup serves as the final test for many players on the roster bubble, with the Seahawks’ offense eyeing a strong finish before the regular season begins.
Hendon Hooker’s Final Push
At the center of the narrative is former Tennessee quarterback Hendon Hooker, who is battling for a spot on the Seahawks’ active roster. After a promising college career that ended with a serious injury, Hooker has been working through a rigorous rehabilitation program and is now showing the poise that made him a standout in the SEC.
Adding to the story, Velus Jones Jr., a former Volunteers running back, returns to the Pacific Northwest where he first made his mark in the NFL. Now a key contributor for Seattle, Jones brings a blend of speed and experience that could prove decisive in the final preseason tune‑up.
The Titans, meanwhile, will showcase three alumni who have carved out roles on their own squad. Long snapper Morgan Cox, cornerback Alontae Taylor, and rookie cornerback Jalen McMurray each bring a piece of Tennessee’s recent legacy to the field, hoping to translate their collegiate success into meaningful contributions on special teams and defense.
Beyond individual storylines, the game represents the culmination of week two’s preseason slate, a series of exhibitions that will shape the final 53‑man rosters. As the teams line up under the bright lights, the memories of college rivalries and the promise of new beginnings intertwine, setting the stage for the upcoming regular season.
