Deven Eastern hits pup list
The Seahawks placed rookie defensive tackle Deven Eastern on the active/physically unable to perform list, a move that could impact their defensive line depth.

Impact on Defensive Line
The loss of Eastern could be significant, as the Seahawks were counting on him to provide depth behind starters Poona Ford and Al Woods.

However, the loss of Eastern may force them to rely more on their linebackers to generate pressure.

The Seahawks also have Jordyn Brooks, who had 106 tackles and 1 sack last season. The team’s pass rush was decent last season, with 37 sacks, but they will need to improve that number to compete with the top teams in the league.

The team’s secondary, led by cornerback Shaquill Griffin, who had 63 tackles and 3 interceptions last season, will also need to step up their game. The Seahawks allowed 227.5 passing yards per game last season, a statistic they hope to improve. The team’s defense has been a strength in recent years, but they will need to adapt to the loss of Eastern.
