The Seattle Seahawks are trying to make their media availability easier to follow, and new owner Neal Khosla moved quickly after a fan pointed out a simple problem: the questions at news conferences were hard to hear.
On Friday, a Seahawks fan asked Khosla to find a way to have more beat reporters mic’d up during press conferences. The concern was straightforward - some fans couldn’t catch the questions before team officials jumped in with answers.
Khosla said Tuesday the team plans to address it by adding two more microphones for Wednesday’s news conference.
"The team is adding two additional mics for tomorrow's press conference," Khosla posted on X. "Let us know if folks have feedback (positive or negative) on whether that fixes the problem."
It’s the kind of small fix that can make a big difference for fans who follow postgame and weekly availability closely. Those sessions often reveal injury updates and give needed context to what coaches and players are saying.
Seattle’s next press conference comes on the heels of a tough Week 3 result, a 33-31 road loss to the previously winless Washington Commanders. Marcus Mariota started for Washington after Jayden Daniels injured his elbow against the Dallas Cowboys in Week 2. For Seattle, Sam Darnold made his first start since suffering a soft-tissue glute injury in Week 1 and finished with 379 passing yards, four touchdowns and two interceptions.
The Seahawks will try to get back on track Sunday when they host the 0-3 Los Angeles Chargers.

Seahawks Backfield Questions Make One Veteran Trade Idea Worth Watching
Seattles backfield remains one of the more interesting spots on the roster as the season moves along, and the conversation around possible upgrades has started to widen beyond internal options. A veteran Tennessee running back is part of that discussion, along with names like Tony Pollard, David Montgomery and Rachaad White, all of whom bring different combinations of production, contract status and fit. For a team trying to sort out its ground game, the appeal is easy to understand, especially with run blocking still a concern and the margin for error shrinking.
The Seahawks are not being linked to a confirmed move, and this is still firmly in the speculative stage, but the idea is worth monitoring because the choices come with real tradeoffs. Some options would add proven production, while others would require a bigger commitment and raise questions about cost, ball security or how quickly they could settle in. For now, it is less about a deal being close than about which kind of back Seattle would actually want if it decides the room needs another jolt. [Read more 🡒]
Seahawks Have A Growing Concern At Right Tackle
The Seahawks have spent real resources trying to build something sturdier up front, and Abraham Lucas has been central to that plan at right tackle. Since arriving as a former third-round pick, he has offered the kind of run-blocking the team wants, but his work in pass protection has been a different story, with pressure issues showing up early and often in the opening games of the season.
Seattles coaching staff knows the problem is there and is already trying to patch it with extra practice work and scheme help. The question now is whether those fixes are enough to steady one of the lines most important spots, or whether right tackle becomes an even bigger concern as the season moves deeper into the schedule.

Seahawks Face An Early NFC West Reality In Super Bowl Chase
ESPN analyst Seth Walders projection of the Seahawks at 12-5 in 2026 sets up what could be one of the NFLs tighter division races. Seattle is expected to be right in the mix in the NFC West, but the 49ers are projected to sit ahead of the pack, with the Rams also viewed as a legitimate contender. For a team with Super Bowl expectations, that kind of forecast is less a comfort than a reminder that there may not be much room for error.
The bigger picture is the one Seattle has to live with all season: a strong record may still leave the Seahawks chasing rather than leading in their own division. In a year when the NFC West is shaping up as one of the leagues most competitive races, the path to a championship could hinge on how Seattle handles the early grind and whether it can keep pace with the teams expected to be in front of it when the standings tighten.
