The Seahawks’ second preseason game brought a little more life than the opener, but the result stayed the same. Seattle dropped a 19-16 decision to the Tennessee Titans on Sunday night, falling to 0-2 in the 2026 NFL preseason after last week’s 17-7 loss to the Dallas Cowboys.
It started fast for Seattle. The Seahawks scored on each of their first three possessions, and backup quarterback Drew Lock was right in the middle of it.
He guided back-to-back touchdown drives to open the night, then helped set up a Jason Myers field goal as Seattle raced out to a 16-3 first-quarter lead. After that, though, the offense went quiet and never found the end zone again.
Lock did plenty to help himself in the process. He finished 12-of-14 for 103 yards and threw a 36-yard touchdown to tight end Elijah Arroyo.
At one point, he completed 11 straight passes before Montorie Foster Jr. just missed hauling in what would have been another touchdown in the end zone. For now, Lock looks safe in his spot.
That wasn’t the case for Jalen Milroe, who had a tough night in a game where Seattle needed someone to steady things late. The second-year quarterback went 6-for-11 for 52 yards and threw two interceptions.
The final one came with 3:17 left, after Seattle had gotten one more chance to chase the game when its defense forced a stop on fourth down deep in its own territory. Milroe opened that drive with an interception on the first play.
Through two preseason games, Milroe has led 11 drives that produced just 103 yards and no points.
Seattle’s special teams also had a rough evening. Myers missed his first PAT attempt and later pushed a 44-yard field goal wide, a miss that would have at least tied the game at 19-19 in the fourth quarter. Cody White also muffed a punt return, handing Tennessee the ball deep in Seattle territory and setting up a Titans field goal.
There were a couple of bright spots in the loss. Jacardia Wright made a strong case for more work in what figures to be a running back-by-committee setup.
He ran for 81 yards on eight carries and broke loose for a 69-yard touchdown. Montorie Foster Jr. helped spring that play with a key block in the middle of the field, and he added one catch for 24 yards while also nearly scoring on another play.
With Jake Bobo out for the season because of a knee injury, Foster has an opening.
Arroyo also kept making his case for a bigger role. Seattle has plenty of names in the passing game already, with Jaxon Smith-Njigba, Cooper Kupp, Rashid Shaheed and AJ Barner all in the mix, but the Seahawks are still looking for more answers for Sam Darnold. Arroyo finished with 50 receiving yards, led Seattle’s pass catchers, and accounted for the team’s only receiving touchdown.

Three Seahawks Suddenly Look Like Theyre Losing The Roster Battle
The Seahawks second preseason game brought another small but telling setback, a 19-16 home loss to the Tennessee Titans, and it came with a few roster questions getting louder rather than quieter. For a team still sorting out the back end of the roster, preseason snaps are supposed to help fringe players build momentum, but this one left several of them with more ground to make up.
Velus Jones, Logan Brown and Jalen Milroe all came out of the game looking like their recent showings may have hurt their chances to stick. None of them helped themselves enough to feel secure, and with the roster battle tightening, the margin for error is shrinking fast as Seattle moves deeper into the preseason. [Read more 🡒]
Seahawks Cornerback Search Just Found A Big Name Worth Watching
The Seahawks are already looking ahead to 2026 when it comes to one of the rosters most important weak spots, and Joey Porter Jr. has emerged as a name worth tracking. Seattle has the draft capital and salary-cap flexibility to get creative if it wants to address cornerback in a big way, and Porters profile makes him the sort of player teams can imagine building around rather than just patching a hole with.
Porters situation in Pittsburgh adds another layer. He is currently on the physically unable to perform list while also reportedly seeking a contract extension, and several Steelers teammates have publicly backed the idea of him getting paid. For a Seahawks team exploring every avenue at cornerback, that combination of availability, upside and contractual uncertainty is exactly the kind of opening front offices monitor closely, even if no deal has surfaced yet.

Seahawks Backfield Suddenly Has A Name Fans Need To Watch
Jadarian Price has started to draw a little more attention in Seahawks camp, and not just because the backfield is open enough for anyone to make a case. Sam Darnolds comments about Price pointed to the kind of profile coaches tend to like early: a versatile runner who can help in more than one way and potentially carve out a real role on offense as camp moves along.
For Seattle, that makes Price worth keeping an eye on in a backfield that still feels like its sorting itself out. Training camp is where these things begin to take shape, and when a quarterback is already talking about a young backs adaptability, it usually means the player has done enough to get noticed. The next question is whether that early buzz turns into something more concrete once the pads stay on and the rotation starts to narrow. [Read more 🡒]
