Seattle Seahawks outside linebacker Derick Hall has returned after being evaluated for a concussion during Sunday's game versus the New England Patriots. Hall exited the game in the second quarter, the team announced.

Hall went into the medical tent and then was taken into the locker room, per The Athletic's Michael-Shawn Dugar. He was in an expanded role with starter Uchenna Nwosu out with a knee injury that he sustained in the preseason.

Seattle's outside linebacker corps was looking bleak without Hall, as Dre'Mont Jones, Boye Mafe and Trevis Gipson were set to share snaps at two outside linebacker positions if Hall could not return.
