The Seattle Seahawks have decided to release linebacker Tyrel Dodson, who has been a starter for all nine games this season. Despite his significant playing time, Dodson's performance in run defense has been subpar, ranking 70th out of 78 linebackers according to Pro Football Focus. His coverage skills, however, have been much better, placing him 10th in that category. The team's decision to release him suggests a lack of confidence in his overall contributions.

• Tyrel Dodson has been released by the Seahawks after starting all nine games this season.
• His run-defense grade was significantly low, despite a strong showing in coverage.
