NFL Thursday evening: Former US star makes his debut in 2024 with a big game

Four other players with Alabama football roots took the field during the San Francisco-Seattle game:

· Derick Hall (Auburn) started at strongside linebacker for the Seahawks. Hall made a tackle. Hall played despite only practicing for the game once due to a foot injury.

· Forty-Niners offensive tackle Chris Hubbard (UAB) is on the practice squad and is not eligible to play.

· Seahawks cornerback Josh Jobe (Alabama) is on the practice squad and ineligible to play.

· Seahawks cornerback Nehemiah Pritchett (Jackson, Auburn) did not record stats. In the first five games of his NFL career, the fifth-round rookie played 19 defensive snaps. On Thursday night, with Seattle already playing without starting cornerback Riq Woolen due to injury, the Seahawks lost cornerbacks Tre Brown and Artie Burns to injuries during the game. This meant that Pritchett was regularly on the pitch at Seattle Secondary School in the second half.

· Jarran Reed (Alabama) started on defense for the Seahawks. Reed made four tackles and recorded a quarterback hit. Reed was one of Seattle's three captains Thursday night. The Seahawks are among four NFL teams that select their captains on a game-by-game basis rather than before the start of the season.

· Seahawks fullback Jamie Sheriff (South Alabama) did not record any statistics. Seattle called Sheriff up from its practice squad to make him eligible.

San Francisco (3-3) plays the Kansas City Chiefs on October 20 at 3:25 p.m. CDT at Levi's Stadium in Santa Clara, California. Seattle (3-3) plays the Atlanta Falcons at noon on Oct. 20 at Mercedes-Benz Stadium in Atlanta.
