Derick Hall Injury News & Updates
Keep up with the latest injuries from the Colts vs Seahawks game on Sunday with our National Football League injury report.Oct 31, 2025
Cleared to play Week 9
Hall (oblique) does not carry an injury designation into Sunday's game against the Commanders, Michael-Shawn Dugar of The Athletic reports.
ANALYSIS
An oblique injury sidelined Hall for the Seahawks' last two games, but he got the green light to play Week 9 after logging an LP-LP-FP practice log. He stared in each of the two games prior to his injury, so his return will eat into the rotational defensive snaps available for Uchenna Nwosu, Connor O'Toole and Jared Ivey. Hall has 10 tackles (four solo) across five regular-season games in 2025.
Oct 29, 2025
Still limited by oblique
Hall (oblique) was a limited participant in Wednesday's practice, Bob Condotta of The Seattle Times reports.
ANALYSIS
Hall has been sidelined in each of Seattle's last two games, though he's had an additional week to recover during the team's bye. He has a chance to return in Week 9 against the Commanders, and a limited session to begin the week is a positive step.
Oct 21, 2025
Could return Week 9
Head coach Mike Macdonald said Monday that he expects Hall (oblique) to be available for the Seahawks' Week 9 road game against the Commanders on Sunday, Nov. 2, John Boyle of the Seahawks' official site reports.
ANALYSIS
Hall has been sidelined for the Seahawks' last two practices and has been unable to practice since sustaining an oblique injury in Week 5 against the Buccaneers. If he's able to return to practice following the Week 8 bye, that would put the 2023 second-rounder in line to return for Week 9 against Washington. Uchenna Nwosu has seen a significant increase at outside linebacker over the Seahawks' last three games, so his workload on defense would likely decrease once Hall is cleared to return.
Oct 18, 2025
Won't play against Houston
Hall (oblique) has been ruled out for Monday's game against the Texans, Bob Condotta of The Seattle Times reports.
ANALYSIS
Hall was held out of practice all week and will miss a second consecutive game due to an oblique injury. Head coach Mike Macdonald said Saturday that he "expects [Hall] back after the bye," which puts the 2023 second-rounder on track to return for the Seahawks' Week 9 road contest against the Commanders, per Michael-Shawn Dugar of The Athletic. Uchenna Nwosu will continue to see more rotational snaps at outside linebacker behind starters Boye Mafe and DeMarcus Lawrence while Hall is sidelined.
Oct 10, 2025
Won't face Jags
Hall (oblique) is out for Sunday's game against the Jaguars, Bob Condotta of The Seattle Times reports.
ANALYSIS
Hall suffered an oblique injury in Week 5 and has been doubtful to suit up for Sunday's matchup since. He did not practice in any capacity throughout the week, so his return in Week 7 is not a given.
Oct 8, 2025
Doesn't practice Wednesday
Hall (oblique) didn't participate in Seattle's practice Wednesday, Michael-Shawn Dugar of The Athletic reports.
ANALYSIS
Hall's absence from practice comes as no surprise, as head coach Mike Macdonald previously announced that the 24-year-old isn't expected to play in Sunday's matchup versus Jacksonville. In Hall's absence, Uchenna Nwosu should serve as the team's top reserve edge rusher.
Oct 6, 2025
Likely out for Week 6
Head coach Mike Macdonald told reporters Monday that Hall (oblique) will likely miss Sunday's matchup against the Jaguars, Gregg Bell of The Tacoma News Tribune reports.
ANALYSIS
Hall played just eight defensive snaps in Sunday's 38-35 loss to the Buccaneers prior to sustaining an oblique injury. Macdonald added that the issue could sidelined Hall for "a couple games," so Uchenna Nwosu will likely serve as Seattle's top reserve edge rusher in Week 6.
Oct 5, 2025
Ruled out with oblique injury
Hall has been ruled out for the rest of Sunday's game against the Buccaneers due to an oblique injury.
ANALYSIS
Hall suffered the injury early in the first quarter, and the injury was severe enough for the medical staff to rule the third-year linebacker out for the rest of Sunday's game. With Hall done for the day and DeMarcus Lawrence (quadriceps) inactive, the Seahawks will lean on Boye Mafe, Uchenna Nwosu and Connor O'Toole at outside linebacker the rest of the way.
Jan 8, 2025
Eight sacks in 2024
Hall finished the 2024 season with 37 total tackles (20 solo), including 8.0 sacks, while also adding two forced fumble and a fumble recovery over 17 games.
ANALYSIS
Hall was a force to be reckoned with in 2024, recording 8.0 sacks after failing to get to the quarterback during his rookie campaign in 2023. Additionally, he was able to notch a scoop and score on a fumble recovery in Week 7 versus the Falcons, returning the ball for a 64-yard touchdown. The linebacker appears to be an ascending star for Seattle and he'll look to build off of his impressive sophomore campaign in the NFL in 2025.
Dec 24, 2024
Listed as full participant Tuesday
Hall (shoulder) was listed as a full participant in Tuesday's walkthrough, Michael-Shawn Dugar of The Athletic reports.
ANALYSIS
Hall was estimated as limited Monday as the Seahawks didn't hold a practice, but he managed to go through Tuesday's walkthrough without limitations. Barring any setbacks, Hall should be good to go for Thursday night's game against Chicago. In the six games since Seattle's Week 10 bye, Hall has logged nine tackles (four solo), including 2.0 sacks.
Dec 23, 2024
Logs sack vs. Minnesota
Hall recorded one solo tackle, including 1.0 sacks, in Sunday's 27-24 loss to the Vikings.
ANALYSIS
The only tackle Hall made in Sunday's narrow loss was a clutch sack, taking down Sam Darnold late in the fourth quarter. The second-year pro from Auburn has had a productive season, recording 34 total tackles, including a team-leading 7.0 sacks, and two forced fumbles across 15 appearances. Expect Hall to remain one of Seattle's top edge rushers in the Week 17 matchup against the Bears.
Dec 23, 2024
Limited in Monday's estimate
Hall (shoulder) was listed as limited on Monday's practice estimate, Brady Henderson of ESPN.com reports.
ANALYSIS
The Seahawks didn't actually hold a practice Monday, but Hall would've been a limited participant in the case it was. This keeps the starting linebacker as questionable ahead of Thursday's outing at Chicago. The coming days should give a better indication on his status when Seattle actually ramps up practice.
Nov 18, 2024
Records sack in win
Hall finished with three tackles (two solo), including 1.0 sacks, in Sunday's 20-17 win over the 49ers.
ANALYSIS
The linebacker also played on more than half of the defensive snaps. Hall now has 28 tackles (17 solo), including 6.0 sacks, two forced fumbles and a fumble recovery in 2024.
Oct 15, 2024
Impressive through six games
Hall has posted 20 tackles (11 solo), 5.0 sacks and two forced fumbles through six games.
ANALYSIS
Hall was basically nonexistent as a rookie with zero sacks but has turned things around dramatically in his second season. The 2023 second-round pick should continue to handle a significant snap share as long as Uchenna Nwosu (thigh) is on injured reserve, and his recent production dictates that he'll have high weekly pass-rushing upside even when Nwosu returns.
Oct 10, 2024
Active for Week 6
Hall (foot) is active for Thursday's matchup with the 49ers.
ANALYSIS
Hall left the team's 29-20 loss to the Giants early in Week 5 with a foot injury, but he's now all set to return to the field versus San Francisco. The linebacker has compiled 19 total tackles (11 solo), including an impressive 5.0 sacks, while also forcing two fumbles over five games this season.
Oct 9, 2024
Questionable for Thursday night
Hall (foot) is listed as questionable ahead of Thursday night's matchup against the 49ers, Michael-Shawn Dugar of The Athletic reports.
ANALYSIS
Despite Hall's questionable tag, head coach Mike Macdonald told reporters Wednesday that he's confident Hall will suit up for Thursday's divisional matchup, per Dugar. However, if the Auburn product's foot injury proves too much to overcome, expect Dre'Mont Jones to step in and serve as Seattle's top weakside linebacker.
Oct 7, 2024
DNP Monday
Hall (foot) was a non-participant on Monday's practice estimate.
ANALYSIS
Hall injured his foot in Sunday's game against the Giants and was unable to return. He finished with six tackles (four solo) and one sack. In a short week, it remains to be seen if Hall will recover in time to suit up, but more clarity on his status figures to come in the next couple days.
Oct 6, 2024
Exits game with foot injury
Hall (foot) is questionable to return to Sunday's game against the Giants.
ANALYSIS
Hall injured his foot during the fourth quarter of Sunday's game. If he doesn't return, he'll finish with six tackles (four solo), including 1.0 sacks. Trevis Gipson will see an uptick in snaps at linebacker down the stretch.
Oct 1, 2024
Records sack in Week 4 loss
Hall totaled four tackles (two solo), including 1.0 sacks, Monday in a loss to the Lions.
ANALYSIS
Hall brought down Jared Goff for an eight-yard loss late in the second quarter to help shut down Detroit's attempt at tacking points on the board before halftime. The 23-year-old has 4.0 sacks through four games this season after tallying zero sacks over 17 contests as a rookie last year. Hall will look to keep rolling when Seattle takes on the Giants in Week 5 on Sunday.
Sep 27, 2024
Estimated as full participant
Hall (hip) was estimated to be a full participant at the Seahawks' walkthrough Friday, Corbin Smith of SI.com reports.
ANALYSIS
Hall suffered a hip injury in Seattle's win over the Dolphins in Week 3, but he appears to be all set to play Monday versus the Lions. The linebacker has recorded nine total tackles (five solo), including 3.0 sacks, while also forcing a fumble over three games in 2024.
Sep 26, 2024
Opens week as limited
Hall (hip) was listed as a limited participant on Seattle's injury report Thursday, Michael-Shawn Dugar of The Athletic reports.
ANALYSIS
Hall played through the injury during the Seahawks' Week 3 win over the Dolphins, during which he accrued five tackles (four solo), including 2.0 sacks, and one forced fumble. Hall was limited in all three practice sessions leading up to Week 3, and if he's able to do so again, he should be good to go for Monday's game against the Lions.
Sep 24, 2024
Records two sacks in Week 3
Hall finished Sunday's 17-3 win over the Dolphins with five tackles (four solo), including 2.0 sacks, and one forced fumble.
ANALYSIS
Hall was listed as questionable ahead of Week 3 due to a hip injury, but that didn't appear to slow the 2023 second-round pick down Sunday as he got to Skylar Thompson twice. Hall's second sack came on the last play of the first half, as he came from behind to take down Thompson and caused the quarterback to fumble the ball out of bounds. After not recording a sack through 17 regular-season games in his rookie year, Hall's three sacks this year is tied for most on the Seahawks with Boye Mafe and tied for eighth in the NFL through three games.
Sep 22, 2024
Taking the field
Hall (hip) is active Sunday against the Dolphins.
ANALYSIS
Hall's ability to play is good news for the Seahawks, who will already be without Jerome Baker (hamstring) and Uchenna Nwosu (knee) at linebacker. The Auburn product should see plenty of work at outside linebacker.
Sep 20, 2024
Gets questionable designation
Hall (hip) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game versus the Dolphins, Colin Gunther of the Seahawks' official site reports.
ANALYSIS
Hall was a limited participant at practice Friday, so his potential availability for Week 3 seems close to a 50/50 bet. If he ends up sidelined for Sunday's contest, it would likely mean more snaps for Trevis Gipson.
Sep 18, 2024
Limited to open week
Hall (hip) was a limited participant at Seattle's practice Wednesday, John Boyle of the Seahawks' official site reports.
ANALYSIS
Hall suffered a head injury and ultimately returned to the game in the team's Week 2 win over the Patriots. He has now popped up on the injury report with an unspecified hip injury and the linebacker will look to increase his workload at practice before Sunday's matchup with Miami.
Sep 15, 2024
Cleared to return Sunday
Hall (head) has returned to Sunday's game against New England after being evaluated for a concussion, Gregg Bell of The Tacoma News Tribune reports.
ANALYSIS
Hall was evaluated for a concussion in the first half of Sunday's contest, but he has cleared the league's protocols and will be able to return.
Sep 15, 2024
Might have concussion
Hall (head) is being evaluated for a concussion during Sunday's game against the Patriots.
ANALYSIS
The backup linebacker made one tackle before exiting. Hall played on 31 defensive snaps and 23 special-teams snaps in Week 1 against the Broncos, making two tackles. Dre'Mont Jones should be in line to replace him on defense.
Sep 10, 2024
First career sack
Hall recorded two tackles and a sack in Sunday's 26-20 win over the Broncos.
ANALYSIS
Hall played a career-high 45 percent of the defensive snaps, and the second-year pro recorded his first career sack, coming against former Auburn teammate Bo Nix. The 2023 second-round pick could see a drop in playing time once Uchenna Nwosu (knee) returns to the lineup, but it's encouraging that Hall's developing as planned.
Aug 18, 2024
Notches another preseason sack
Hall recorded three solo tackles and a sack in Saturday's 16-15 preseason loss to the Titans.
ANALYSIS
Hall has made impressive strides this offseason, as he had two tackles for no gain and showed his ability to get to the quarterback like he did in college. His run-stopping ability could get him on the field more in the regular season, as fellow outside linebacker Darrell Taylor has struggled in that area of his game despite being a dependable pass-rusher. Nevertheless, Hall's upside is probably limited this year with Uchenna Nwosu and Boye Mafe still in the fold.
Feb 1, 2024
No sacks as rookie
Hall posted 38 tackles (18 solo) and a pass breakup across 17 games during the 2023 season.
ANALYSIS
Hall generated 19.5 sacks over his final three seasons at college, but his skillset and remarkable athleticism didn't translate immediately to the NFL. In fact, failing to record a sack at all is cause for concern. However, Hall is still more than two years younger than fellow outside linebacker Boye Mafe, who led the team with nine sacks this season after an underwhelming rookie season in 2022. Thus, Hall has time to develop his skills and become a complete player in the NFL.
Nov 8, 2023
Able to log full practice Wednesday
Hall (shoulder) practiced in full Wednesday, John Boyle of the Seahawks' official site reports.
ANALYSIS
Hall had to exit Sunday's loss to the Ravens after aggravating a previous shoulder injury, but he wasn't limited in the first practice session of Week 10 prep. Per Boyle, head coach Pete Carroll is optimistic about Hall's status, saying that the linebacker "seems to be OK." Hall has tallied 19 tackles (nine solo) and a pass breakup through eight contests this season.
Nov 5, 2023
Aggravates injury
Hall aggravated a shoulder injury he dealt with earlier this year during Sunday's 37-3 loss to the Ravens, according to head coach Pete Carroll, Bob Condotta of The Seattle Times reports.
ANALYSIS
Hall worked through the injury during training camp, but ultimately may have never fully recovered from it. Whether or not he is in danger of missing time won't likely be known until later in the week, before the team hosts the Commanders in Week 10.
Oct 2, 2023
Active for MNF
Hall (knee) is officially active for Seattle's matchup with the Giants on Monday Night Football.
ANALYSIS
Hall popped up on the injury report with a knee injury following Friday's practice, but he was able to return Saturday and he'll now be in action Monday versus New York. The linebacker has recorded five tackles and a pass deflection over his first three career NFL contests with the Seahawks.
Sep 30, 2023
Questionable for Monday
John Boyle of the Seahawks' official siteHall (knee) is listed as questionable for Monday's contest against the Giants, John reports.
ANALYSIS
Hall popped up on the team's injury report after not participating in Friday's session, but was able to fully participate in Saturday's practice. If Hall is ruled out Monday, Darrell Taylor could be in line for more snaps in a depth linebacker role behind Uchenna Nwosu and Boye Mafe.
Sep 30, 2023
Added to injury report
Hall was a non-participant at Friday's practice due to a knee injury, John Boyle of the Seahawks' official site reports.
ANALYSIS
Hall was a full participant Thursday, so he presumably picked up the injury at practice. There is no word on the severity, but more clarity should come following Saturday's final injury report. Darrell Taylor could see some extra snaps providing depth at linebacker if Hall is unable to give it a go.
Sep 8, 2023
Clear to play in opener
Hall (shoulder) does not carry an injury designation Friday ahead of Sunday's game versus the Rams, Bob Condotta of The Seattle Times reports.
ANALYSIS
After being limited by a shoulder injury at practice this week, Hall appears to be healthy enough to suit up for Week 1. The rookie second-rounder will try to make an impression early to help improve what was a lackluster Seattle pass rush a season ago.
Sep 6, 2023
Limited in practice
Hall (shoulder) was a limited participant in Seattle's practice Wednesday, John Boyle of the team's official site reports.
ANALYSIS
Hall injured his shoulder during the team's preseason finale but might still be ready to go for the season opener. The rookie second-round pick will likely start the season off serving in a rotational role behind starters Boye Mafe and Uchenna Nwosu.
Sep 4, 2023
Practices Monday
Hall (shoulder) was back at practice Monday, Brady Henderson of ESPN.com reports.
ANALYSIS
Hall was able to practice for the first time since injuring his shoulder in the Seahawks' preseason finale Aug. 26 versus the Packers. It's unclear exactly how much of a workload he took on, but his participation is a good sign for his chances to play Week 1 against the Rams on Sept. 10. More information on Hall's status will likely come Wednesday when Seattle releases their first injury report of the week.
Aug 26, 2023
Injures shoulder in loss
Hall sustained a shoulder sprain in Saturday's 19-15 loss to the Packers, John Boyle of the Seahawks' official site reports.
ANALYSIS
Head coach Pete Carroll noted after the game that the severity of Hall's injury is unknown but it looks like an "AC sprain kind of thing." Hall has been competing with second-year linebacker Boye Mafe for playing time during training camp.
Aug 21, 2023
Tallies preseason sack
Hall recorded a sack in Saturday's 22-14 preseason win over the Cowboys.
ANALYSIS
Hall beat tackle Earl Bostick, an undrafted rookie, to record his first NFL sack in the fourth quarter, so we shouldn't read into it too much alone. However, the rookie second-round pick also notched two quarterback hits to emphasize his impact in the pass-rushing game. Hall is competing for playing time with second-year linebacker Boye Mafe. As it stands, it looks like Mafe has the edge with one preseason game to go.
Apr 28, 2023
Seattle swoops in
The Seahawks selected Hall in the second round of the 2023 NFL Draft, 37th overall.
ANALYSIS
Seattle has now addressed cornerback, receiver, and edge rusher within the first 40 picks of this year's draft. Hall, a 2022 First Team All-SEC honoree, had 19.5 sacks in his final three seasons at Auburn. He backed up that production with an impressive combine highlighted by a 4.55 40-yard dash at 255 pounds. Athleticism like that is similar to 2022 draft picks like Sam Williams or Jermaine Johnson. He will add to Seattle's pass rush right away.
