ANALYSIS

Doesn't practice Wednesday
Zabel (knee) did not participate in Wednesday's practice, John Boyle of the Seahawks' official site reports.
ANALYSIS
Zabel sustained a knee injury during the Seahawks' Week 11 loss to the Rams. He was labeled "day-to-day" by head coach Mike Macdonald following the loss, and the rookie first-rounder has opened Week 12 prep with a DNP. Zabel has two more opportunities to practice in at least a limited capacity and given himself a chance to play against the Titans on Sunday.

Considered day-to-day
Head coach Mike Macdonald said Monday that Zabel is considered "day-to-day" due to a knee injury he sustained during Sunday's 21-19 loss to the Rams, John Boyle of the Seahawks' official site reports.
ANALYSIS
"Really fortunate. [Zabel] avoided a significant injury, which is really positive," Macdonald added during Monday's press conference. Zabel suffered a knee injury in the fourth quarter of Sunday's game, and his practice participation over the coming days will shed light on his chances of playing against the Titans in Week 12. If Zabel is unable to play, then Christian Haynes will be the top candidate to start at left guard.

Dealing with knee injury
Zabel suffered a knee injury in Sunday's 21-19 loss to the Rams, John Boyle of the Seahawks' official site reports.
ANALYSIS
Zabel went down with the knee injury late in the fourth quarter, and he was ultimately unable to be on the field for the team's final possession of the game. Head coach Mike Macdonald said after the game that Seattle won't know the extent of the injury until Zabel can undergo an MRI. Christian Haynes took over at left guard in Zabel's absence, and he'd likely remain in that spot if Zabel is sidelined moving forward.

Good to go for Week 11
Zabel (heel) doesn't have an injury designation for Sunday's clash against the Rams, Brady Henderson of ESPN.com reports.
ANALYSIS
Zabel is dealing with a heel issue and was limited in all three practices this week, but that won't prevent him from suiting up Sunday. The rookie first-round pick should log his usual role as the Seahawks' starting left guard.

Limited in Thursday's practice
Zabel (heel) was a limited participant in Thursday's practice, John Boyle of the Seahawks' official site reports.
ANALYSIS
A heel injury limited Zabel's practice reps Wednesday and Thursday, but he would avoid an injury designation for Sunday's NFC West tilt against the Rams will a full session Friday. The rookie first-rounder has started at left guard in each of the Seahawks' nine regular-season games.
Nov 12, 2025
Navigating heel issue
Zabel was estimated as a limited practice participant in Wednesday's walkthrough due to a heel injury, John Boyle of the Seahawks' official site reports.
ANALYSIS
Zabel has started every game during his rookie campaign and has logged 100 percent of Seattle's offensive snaps in all but one contest. It's unclear at this point if he's in any danger of missing Sunday's Week 11 NFC West clash against the Rams.

Lands with Seahawks
The Seahawks selected Zabel in the first round of the 2025 NFL Draft, 18th overall.
ANALYSIS
Zabel is the latest North Dakota State lineman to make it to the league, joining the likes of Dillon Radunz, Cordell Volson and Cody Mauch. At 6-foot-6 and 312 pounds with 32-inch arms, Zabel played all over the line for the Bison with double-digit starts at both tackle spots and seven combined starts at both guard spots. The arm detail likely means Zabel will kick inside to guard, which fits nicely with how the Seahawks are currently constructed.
