ATLANTA—A day after being activated from injured reserve, safety Julian Love and defensive tackle Jarran Reed are active, as expected, for Sunday’s game against the Falcons.
Sunday’s game will be the first for Love since Seattle’s Week 4 win over the Cardinals. There was initially hope Love would be back following the team’s Week 8 bye, but he suffered a setback that led to him being placed on injured reserve. Reed is returning after a four-game absence due to wrist and thumb injuries that required surgery.
With those two back, the Seahawks are at full strength on defense for the first time this season, and they come into this game with no players on the 53-man roster unavailable due to injury. As a result, all six players declared inactive for Sunday’s game are healthy scratches.
Running back Velus Jones Jr. is active after being elevated from the practice squad on Saturday, and will be the third back behind Kenenth Walker III and Zach Charbonnet. Running back Cam Akers, who recently signed to the 53-man roster, is inactive.
The Falcons will be without leading receiver Drake London, who is inactive due to a knee injury, as well as defensive lineman Brandon Dorlus, who leads the team with 6.0 sacks.
