Offensive coordinator Klint Kubiak interviewed with the Baltimore Ravens, Atlanta Falcons and Miami Dolphins for their head coaching vacancies, while defensive coordinator Aden Durde did the same with the Falcons and Cleveland Browns. But Seahawks coach Mike Macdonald wasn’t worried about his assistants’ focus on their jobs ahead of Seattle’s matchup with the San Francisco 49ers on Saturday.<\/p>\n
The Seahawks had a bye as the No. 1 seed in the NFC, and Kubiak and Durde did their interviews on days the team was off.<\/p>\n
\u201cIt worked out well that they had the two days off and they could kind of shift their focus,\u201d Macdonald said. \u201cOnce it\u2019s over, then that\u2019s over and we\u2019re able to move forward. So really fortunate we had the bye.\u201d<\/p>\n
Last week’s practices, he said, consisted mostly of self-scouting and working ahead on potential playoff opponents. Now, Seattle has turned its focus to San Francisco, which ended Philadelphia’s bid for a Super Bowl repeat with a 23-19 victory on Sunday.<\/p>\n
\u201cI think just watching it live, it was just an incredibly resilient win,\u201d Macdonald said of the 49ers. \u201cI mean, the team has a lot of character. They\u2019re really tough. You know, but really it\u2019s nothing new with these guys. It\u2019s what you know. But it\u2019s a heck of a win. Tough place to go and play and get a win.\u201d<\/p>\n
Both tight end Elijah Arroyo (knee) and safety Coby Bryant (knee) are expected to practice this week. Arroyo, who missed the final four games of the regular season and landed on injured reserve, returned to practice last week and could play Saturday.<\/p>\n
\u201cElijah is looking good,\u201d Macdonald said. \u201cHe\u2019s a possibility about coming back for this game.\u201d<\/p>\n
Bryant missed the Seahawks’ last two games with a knee injury. Left tackle Charles Cross, who signed a four-year contract extension last week, is expected to be back in the starting lineup. Cross missed the last three games with a hamstring injury.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
RENTON, Wash. \u2014 Ahead of the Seattle Seahawks’ first home playoff game in five years, and their first in front of fans since 2017, their top two coordinators each spent the end of last week interviewing for jobs elsewhere. Offensive coordinator Klint Kubiak interviewed with the Baltimore Ravens, Atlanta Falcons and Miami Dolphins for their … Read more<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":16833,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"fifu_image_url":"","fifu_image_alt":"","_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":"","jetpack_publicize_message":"","jetpack_publicize_feature_enabled":true,"jetpack_social_post_already_shared":true,"jetpack_social_options":{"image_generator_settings":{"template":"highway","default_image_id":0,"font":"","enabled":false},"version":2}},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-16832","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-uncategorized"],"jetpack_publicize_connections":[],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"https:\/\/www.jubi24.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/Seahawks-begin-preparing-for-49ers-after-both-coordinators-interview-for.jpeg","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.jubi24.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/16832","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.jubi24.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.jubi24.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.jubi24.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.jubi24.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=16832"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/www.jubi24.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/16832\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":16834,"href":"https:\/\/www.jubi24.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/16832\/revisions\/16834"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.jubi24.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/media\/16833"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.jubi24.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=16832"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.jubi24.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=16832"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.jubi24.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=16832"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
