Sundell (knee) and Saubert (calf) both have 21 days before they have to be re-added to the active roster, but they might be back much sooner. The opening of two spots makes it much more likely that's the Seahawks' plan.

Sam Darnold pointed out the area of emphasis the Seahawks must execute at a high level going into their Week 15 game against the Colts.

The Colts are looking to avoid becoming the 6th team since the 1970 Merger to miss the playoffs after starting 7-1 or better through 8 games (2012 Bears, 1996 Washington, 1988 Saints, 1987 Chargers, 1975 Dolphins) Lets take a deeper dive into this week’s matchup between the two teams seemingly headed in opposite directions.

The Seahawks' success has come from a multitude of avenues, but quarterback Sam Darnold and wide receiver Jaxon Smith-Njigba have been two of the biggest reasons why. Both were listed as potential MVP candidates by ESPN contributor Bill Barnwell.

Call it cliché, but these Seahawks are committed to team goals over personal goals. Or, in their terms, "Mission Over Bulls---."

The Seahawks have a defense that is firing on all cylinders, having yielded only nine points over its last two games, both lopsided wins for Seattle.

The Colts hope to rebound from a three-game losing streak but Sauce Gardner has yet to return to practice after straining his calf.

Operationally, the one thing that could sink this team's Super Bowl aspirations is a lack of ball security. According to Vinnie Iyer at The Sporting News, turnovers are Seattle's one potentially fatal playoff flaw.
