Exits with injury
Published: 2024-09-15
Mafe (knee) is questionable to return to Sunday's game against the Patriots.
Mafe exited late in the first half and recorded five total tackles, including 1.0 sack before leaving. Dre'Mont Jones and Derick Hall are candidates to fill in, while the Minnesota product is out of the game.

Starts season with sack
Published: 2024-09-10
Mafe posted four tackles (three solo) and a sack in Sunday's 26-20 win over the Broncos.
Mafe picked up where he left off last season when he posted 9.0 sacks. The third-year linebacker played a whopping 87 percent of the defensive snaps with Uchenna Nwosu (knee) inactive. Mafe clearly showed he could handle that workload, but we could see it scaled back slightly once Nwosu is healthy.
Racks up nine sacks in 2023
Published: 2024-01-21
Mafe posted 52 tackles (32 solo), including 9.0 sacks, across 16 games during the 2023 season.
Mafe also added six pass breakups and two fumble recoveries. The 2022 second-round pick earned more playing time in his second NFL season and showed major improvements, accordingly, leading the team in sacks. The Seahawks are hoping 2023 second-round pick Derick Hall will make similar improvements to Mafe, but regardless, we should expect Mafe to be featured in this defense again in 2024.
Fills stat sheet in win
Published: 2023-12-25
Mafe recorded six tackles (five solo), including 2.0 sacks and two tackles for a loss, in the Seahawks' 20-17 victory over the Titans on Sunday.
The linebacker also finished with four quarterback hits. The second-year pro has been making plays this season, with a team-leading 9.0 sacks as well as four passes defensed, two fumble recoveries and a forced fumble.
Extends sack streak
Published: 2023-11-06
Mafe finished Sunday's Week 9 loss to Baltimore with six tackles (five solo), including one sack. He also forced and recovered a fumble.
Mafe has been on quite a run of late, notching exactly one sack in each of his past six contests. His second-quarter sack of Lamar Jackson on Sunday was particularly impactful, as it resulted in a fumble that was recovered by Mafe himself, though it didn't lead to any Seahawks points. With six sacks on the campaign, Mafe has already doubled the amount he posted over 17 games as a rookie last year.
Good to go versus Baltimore
Published: 2023-11-03
Mafe (shoulder) does not carry any injury designation ahead of Sunday's game versus the Ravens, John Boyle of the Seahawks' official site reports.
Mafe popped up with a shoulder injury Wednesday and was limited in back-to-back practices before participating in full Friday. The 2022 second-round pick will now be ready to suit up for his sixth game in a row Week 9. Mafe has totaled 21 tackles this season, including exactly one sack in each of the last five games for Seattle.
Logs limited practice Wednesday
Published: 2023-11-01
Mafe (shoulder) was a limited participant in Wednesday's practice, John Boyle of the Seahawks' official site reports.
Mafe is coming off a season-high eight tackles in Sunday's 24-20 win over the Browns, though it appears he may have sustained the shoulder injury in the process. He's already missed one game this season due to a knee injury and his practice participation for the rest of the week will indicate whether he'll be able to suit up Week 9 against the Ravens.
Season-high tackles in win
Published: 2023-10-31
Mafe recorded eight tackles (three solo), including a sack, while also recovering a fumble in Sunday's 24-20 win over the Browns.
Mafe was able to get to the quarterback for the fifth straight game in Week 8, raising his season sack total to five. The linebacker was also able to recover a fumble in the first quarter after Jordyn Brooks stripped Cleveland's QB PJ Walker. Mafe is off to strong start in his second professional campaign.
Adds to sack total in win
Published: 2023-10-24
Mafe had three tackles (two solo) including one sack and a pass deflection in Sunday's 20-10 win over the Cardinals.
Mafe is now up to four sacks on the season -- which is tied with defensive tackle Jarran Reed for the most on the team -- and has already surpassed the three sacks he had last season in just five games. Mafe played in 49 defensive snaps Sunday, the most since Week 3 against the Panthers, and he'll look to continue to dominate in the pass rush against the Browns in Week 8.
