Seahawks Elevate Players Ahead of Opener

The Seattle Seahawks have elevated veteran cornerback Artie Burns and safety Marquise Blair from their practice squad ahead of their season opener against the Denver Broncos. Burns, who has experience in the slot and has shown promise despite an injury-affected previous season, will provide depth in the Seahawks' secondary. The Broncos are looking to reshape their roster, with three players—Garett Bolles, D.J. Jones, and Javonte Williams—potentially facing uncertain futures as they enter the final year of their contracts. Additionally, tight end Greg Dulcich's performance this season will be critical for his continued tenure with the team. The Seahawks will also feature former Denver players Noah Fant and Dre'Mont Jones in their lineup during the matchup. The game will highlight the debut of rookie quarterback Bo Nix for the Broncos, against a Seattle defense aiming to capitalize on his inexperience.
