- Ty Okada Injury Update: Seahawks' Safety Could Make 2026 Debut in Week 5
Ty Okada had a breakout season for the Seattle Seahawks in 2026. The safety played in all 17 games, with 11 starts, and ended with 65 tackles, three tackles for loss, six pass breakups, and one interception.
Okada was a key piece of the league's best defense, and the expectation was that would continue in 2026. Unfortunately, Okada has yet to make his season debut as he deals with a nagging hamstring injury.

The good news is that Okada was a full participant in practice on Wednesday. This is just the time this season that Okada has been a full participant, with last Friday being the first . The safety obviously didn't end up playing last week, so he's not guaranteed to play this week, but this is a positive sing.

The following players were listed on Wednesday's report :
-
Zach Charbonnet- Knee- Limited
-
Irvin Charles- Knee- Limited
-
George Holani- Ribs- Limited
-
Tyrice Knight- Ankle- Limited
-
Patrick O'Connell- Thumb- Full
-
Ty Okada- Hamstring- Full
-
Nehemiah Pritchett- Ankle- Limited
-
Jaxon Smith-Njigba- Rest- DNP
-
Beau Stephens- Knee- Limited
-
Chazz Surratt- Calf- DNP
-
Leonard Williams- Ankle- Limited
The good news here is that only two players were unable to practice, and only one of those was due to injury. It's also good to see Okada practicing fully, as mentioned above.

There were a number of limited participants, and those can go either way. Irvin Charles and Zach Charbonnet are both on the PUP list, but their practice windows have now been activated. Charbonnet being available would be huge considering Jadarian Price is on injured reserve.
Beau Stephens has been splitting reps at right guard with Christian Haynes, so if he can't go, we could see a full game of Haynes. Nehemiah Pritchett has been a solid depth defensive back, and the Seahawks have already had plenty of injuries there.
It will be interesting to see how the report changes on Thursday and Friday. Okada is obviously the situation most worth keeping an eye on . Having Okada back would really open the defense up and allow Nick Emmanwori to move around more.
